  • Hot glue gun doesn’t work on voltage converters. What’s the problem?

    Good evening, earlier I wanted to reassemble a plastic cover in the vehicle interior using a hot glue gun. In the vehicle there are 3 cigarette lighters with 12V – 15A. At the respective cigarette lighter cans I had connected a DC to AC voltage converter (modified sine) with a maximum of 150Watt. At the voltage converter the green Power LED lit. At the Schuko connection of the voltage converter I had a standard hot glue gun from Tacklife (65W with 1 10-230V) connected. As soon as I turn on the hot glue gun, the voltage converter beeps and the error LED flashes. I had tried out the three 12V cans in the car and have the error everywhere. The hot glue gun works on a 230V household connection without any problems. It seems as if there is a fundamental problem with the current conversion. I assume that the voltage converter with modified sine instead of pure sine the problem looses? Is the exact difference between the two sine variants despite multiple readings. Before buying the voltage converter I had to read (trying) and had the impression that voltage converters with modified sine cover the majority of all devices but apparently no hot glue guns. Am I right and have to buy another voltage converter?

  • Workshop surveillance cameras

    Meal, Was last week on vacation, Monday I noticed that from a deregistered car what was outside the license plates were removed and lying next to it, colleague who is always there and the I so trust also assured me that he has nothing to do with it. will tell the police today, maybe just a gang needed the license plates for a crime. so much to the history. I will now install cameras, at least 6 pieces, give it any e ine recommendation? Wlan would be available anywhere on the farm or could it simply expand. mfg. Peter

  • Is my Einhell compressor enough to paint small parts?

    Good day The summer is approaching, the next TÜV appointment is approaching as well. Two years ago, my sleepers were renewed by a body master. So that they are protected from rust I only spat and primed them on the weld seams. In the process, a huge mistake happened to me not to have roughed the sheets before. Now everything is peeling off so slowly and it is already surface rust (not to be seen through). Before the TÜV appointment I would like to paint them again. My comp Ressor is a single light TE-AC 230/24/8 and yes, it will probably be too weak. I have already painted some pieces of furniture, a garden lounge made of europlates and 2 high beds. 2 times a year the tyre change on 3 vehicles, the only problem is the low 24l tank. The compressor has to build up pressure very often again. Besides my thresholdrs I now have the rear bumper which needs to be painted. Since the workshops require too much, I do it now se lbst and I agree with it even if it doesn’t look so professional. The paint gun has been for 60€, so no professional paint gun for huge amounts of Euros. In advance: My entire tool inventory, garden tools etc. are from Einhell, if the compressor is not enough to your opinion, I would only take Einhell again. There I am something own about this. I once had countless brands like Bosch, Makita, DeWalt and so on… Now I just want to stay united EN. LG

  • Zero Drive Ratchet

    Hello tool fans, just by chance came across the following product:https://www.getzerodrive.com/ As a fan of my 40-year-old HaZet fine tooth ratchet (1/2″ I actually thought I never needed a new one again. But here seems to have taken place a real innovation leap. Instead of a ratchet toothing, magnetic rollers rotate around a correspondingly shaped body that can rotate freely in one direction and blocks in the other by means of the rollers. len. Looks great in theory: – minimal resistance with the back-ratching – immediate access – minimal ratchet angle (allegedly only 1°) – also the failure torque for 1/2″ is indicated with 750 Nm, for the 3/8 at least still with over 300 Nm. – The American manufacturer grants ‘lifetime warranty’ Does anyone already know and experience with it from practice? I think I could almost become weak…. ghm

  • Gift for screwdrivers

    Hello everyone, My husband discovered the screw for himself and soon birthday. Now I wanted to give him something suitable for it. First I thought of a tool car, but it is a little too expensive. I don’t want to buy scrap. I don’t have a plan what I could give him. Maybe you have an idea. Maybe a high-pressure cleaner? Welvher is the one to recommend? Price should be about the 150-200 €. Something suitable for the car is also possible. He drives an E6 0er. Looking forward to your answers Greetings Marija

  • Impact wrench for tyre change

    So, spring is here, it’s time again and I have to change to 3 cars wheels. Which impact wrench is the best ? 230V or battery? Shouldn’t be too expensive, I change 6x in the year altogether (3 cars each 2x a year). Thank you.

  • Search 1/8″ extension hose for oil pressure testers or sensor – is there such a thing?

    Love All, since grey time I look out for an oil-resistant hose with 1/8″ AG and 1/8″ IG. So a classic extension in flexible, oil-resistant and pressure-resistant. For oil pressure remote measurement. In brass, however, this is available as a hose, so flexible? Alternatively : Are there oil pressure testers with hoses without quick coupling? So easy to screw? Ginge safe too. Unfortunately, I can’t get any further.. ar but also only in AG-AG.. Many greetings

  • Ranger truck lifter – which is what?

    Hello together, in the vehicle technology forum I have surprisingly not found out about the search … because it does not fit 100% there nor here, I thought I do the topic here “home” on I need for my TT a shunting car lifter, going flat and far below. I found this one in the bay here: click question: The price seems very favorable to me, Liftmaster however seems to be a brand manufacturer. Your opinion; is it good ? Thanks & Gruss, Celsi

  • how to best poke flat-standing tires like

    Hey, I’ve got a signed-out Fiat 500 in my underground garage and its tires aren’t pumped up as much as they used to be. I tried it with a bike pump, but that doesn’t work really well. Does jmd have the idea? lg
