Home renovation

After enjoying the fruits of your labors, we all need a place to chill. This is that place. Totally senseless irrelevant banter encouraged.

i have a black & decker drill, the jaws of the chuck locked with the drill bit still inside the clasp, finally I managed to turn the chuck but it seized up, I managed to take out the drill bit.

I can't take off the chuck by using an Alan key, I noticed the Alan key just turns around and doesn't grip anything, is there a fix for this?

These angle grinders made in China are so cheap..

i may get one and test it out....

for someone who uses an angle grinder 3, 4 times a year for random jobs, its ok better than buying a dewalt and using it seldom...
