I really appreciate the skill with which you removed that red safety plug. First try and everything.

For leakproofing railcars we always use flax yarn and flaxseed oil. The teflontape does not hold up against all the vibration that a freight train produce. Railcars also experince quite extreme temperature differences and is always pressurized with 5 bar. These pneumatic couplings also have to have a lifespan of 30 years+ and again flax yarn is really the only thing that holds up over that much time if applyed correctly!

the first rule of AvE shop talk, we do not talk about the battery cover.

"They want to spare my feelings, which is odd. Most of my friends hate me." This is gold.

That hand hole is for incase you were carrying out by the hand hole and you drop it and break it they can say it's your fault and not replace it

Great Content. Love hearing you talk about manufacturing processes. As a fresh grad I've found that the most valuable resource I can have is an old gray-beard willing to share. Thanks for adding so much to my stock-pile of ideas.

Battery powered compressor just sounds like the answer to a question that nobody asked.

This has got to be the most comprehensive tool review channel ever. You don't just get to see the tool working. You take it apart, tell how each part was manufactured, the materials they used to make the various parts, the likelihood of parts lasting or failing, and if the sum total of parts is any good or not.

That's the cleanest I've ever seen the healing bench...

I'd argue that the feet being as soft as they are is actually fairly well thought out. You get the same soft kind of rubber on some computer fans, what for dampening damping whatever you call it the vibrations. At the very least, it won't chase you around the shop when it's running, if nothing else.

It's been a while since we had a good boltr... Thank you!

I worked for the company that made the pop valve on there, it's a machine shop in Fenton, MO called Control Devices. IIRC they're on all Black & Decker compressors. Pretty cool process of making and staking them, and even more cool to see it all the way up in Canada! For those interested, the parts are made on Hydromat precision transfer machines, then assembled and pop-tested in house. When I left the company, they were in the process of making a new testing / staking machine for more accurate pressure relief PSI, per B&D requirements.

As soon as I saw that red cover on the battery, I was waitin' for it.

Hey AvE, the piston cup is a formed PTFE wafer (likely a bronze or ceramer filled ptfe) machined flat from a solid PTFE rod and formed when it's knifed off or cup formed later - not PTFE coated metal like a DU bushing. The metallic part is just a spacer that holds it down.

As always, nicely done! Thanks for the unbiased view from the ground level!

I hope to whoever owns this universe that you are going to be my teacher in our next life. I have already learned a lot from you and I need more, more!!!

17 reasons why Corpo-Shills LOVE me!! You won't BELIEVE number 12!!!!!!11

31:28 I immediately thought to myself "That's going to get over-torqued and smoke the bearing when he re-assembles it"....until I noticed that cool little feature in the casting to help mitigate exactly that. Very cool. Edit: and apparently I should have waited to comment that. Premature Commentation....embarrassing. Also, those holes in the cylinder wall are to reduce the required 'startup' current when the compressor kicks on. At operational speed they'll have a negligible impact on volume, but allow for a much smaller motor & higher pump ratio.

One of my favorite vids in awhile... Loving the extra shop talk.

Regarding your comment at 5:55 - I'd suspect they put thought into the feet and chose the soft feet for at least two reasons. First, they'll help keep the total noise down by reducing the energy that transfers into the surface the compressor is resting on. Second, the soft feet are selected based on the (relatively) low frequency vibrations of the machine. Soft feet will reduce the likelihood of the machine walking around on its own.

i bet the king of the Shills Wranglerstar has one and its the best thing since sliced bread in his eyes.

The friction drilling, is the vajao that got me hooked on AVE

AvE, your mind and incredibly encyclopedic technical knowledge makes my packer all turgid and leaky. You're doing God's work.

The great thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from.

That cloverleaf is the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors symbol(a USA thing). In Canada pressure vessels should have a Canadian registration # (CRN#) but is only required over a certain volume (42.5L i think?) at least here in Ontario. BC law may differ..as usual. Great video, thanks!

St. Florian ... patron saint of firefighters, soap makers and chimney sweeps.

You should fully start a podcast. I could listen to you talk all day.

Long time watcher, first time commenter... This is by far my favorite AvE video. Between the uncle Bumble ramblings with a touch of off on a tangent commentary and the on target poke of the driver bit through the warning label to get the last two screws, you always learn me something new. Can't wait for part Deux.

What a potential with that brushless motor and the brainbox -- as you says; with a pressure transducer and a couple of thermo couples that would be an awesome tool. Most of the applications where I use an air compressor I'd really like it to be more pro-active, not that I'd require machine learning to predict what I'm bout to do. But more that when I fire the first nail it should start revving up and be ready for the next nail as it usually comes right after. And I have a pneumatic bottle capper for bottling my home brewed beers where this kind of control would have been perfect. My small shop compressor with its 3 bar hysteresis only work decent in the 8-6 bar range and when it dips below 6 bar it will not press the caps on 🤬.

You should remove the battery protective cover with a hammer and screwdriver, I have video evidence of the correct procedure.

Don't ever stop making ur videos. Greatest channel on the tube.

Dowty seal, glad you guys call them that👍 I used to work for Dowty Seals, elekchicken on maintenance. Loved that job.

"tighter than a nun" I'm done for today lol

That hole in the cylinder is more than likely to bleed pressure so the crank gets past a certain degree so not to lock up when pressure is high!!! If it started compressing at the bottom of the stroke when pressure is high in the tank it could lock up the motor!!! So by bleeding the pressure for a few degrees it allows the crank time to build speed to drive through the wall of pressure it incounters on every stroke!!! Just like on high compression engine's the exaust valve is left open for a few degrees before compression begins!!! That way you don't lock up the stroke at bottom dead center!!! You can't start compression at bottom dead center!!! You run the risk of bending your rod!!! I also believe that the rod is most likely a powered metal rod,not a casting!!! Just like in car engine's!!! Keep Rocking it out!!!

Your the best man👍 thanks for making these videos it’s all I watch!!!!

7:44 and I just want to say thank you for the breakdown of this compressor. It's something I've wanted for a long time. $300 no battery when first released. Then a charger and 6amp flexvolt was added and the price never changed. That's how long I've been aiming and still have not pulled the trigger on this purchase. This video may well be the reason I buy or don't buy this unit.

I think the unloading hole on the cylinder is so that it doesn't see any resistance from the piston during the first part of the compression stroke. When the crank arm is at a right angle to the piston rod, that's the point of worst mechanical advantage. Since Reed valves don't care where the piston is they have to relieve the pressure that way. Also probably why we don't see you too many VFD compressors yet. Part of what gets it through the compression stroke is the momentum it gains during the intake stroke. Running at lower RPM would take a lot more torque.

That feeling when you get a DeWalt ad on the video intro lol

I just listen to your vidjas while doing my daily life things or when I can spare a minute for a vidja or 2. Keep 'em comin man! Huge fan

Always a joy to watch and your descriptions are a treasure lol

In the UK, pressure vessels are only considered worth worrying about if they're over 200 bar litres. That is 20l at 10 bar or what have you. That means that small compressors (often 24l, 8 bar) you don't need inspections etc. A reason similar to that might be why there's no tag on your tank.

In Canada, there are minimum volume and pressure requirements which need to be met before certification is required. This likely meets neither which is why there's no stamp. I could be wrong as it's been a few years since I was in the industry.

You are the first person I have heard correct themselves when the say “suck”; explaining that it’s actually pushing into a lower pressure area. I do it often and people look at me like I’m nuts. One of those weird memory nuggets from 7th grade science that I’ve can never forget. Don’t get me started on lift hahahaha.

Haven't watched the video yet, but is the air connection cordless too? It would be so convenient to not be tethered to the compressor while I fill my bike tires

I have one of these in the toolbox of my truck. It's great for camping or out riding sxs. It'll run a framing gun in a pinch and much better than hand banging small framing jobs together

I've got one of these, been using it for about 8 months. Works good enough for what it is. Saves me a little headache plugging a compressor in in every room as I trim out

Thumbs up for the scale models never thought I hear you say those words

I think that since the piston and the rod are a single piece (there's no wrist pin), when the rod is at high angle in respect to the crankshaft, the piston cannot hold the pressure. So there's no need to build up pressure in the cylinder before the piston reaches a certain height. All the pressure built prior to that point would be lost, so the holes simply prevent it, in order to save energy. I hope you understand what I mean, English is not my everyday language.

Blood for the blood god!

You're the only guy I've heard here in Canada that called teflon tape by its proper name 👍

I’ve found that Swack ptft paste is the best stuff for sealing Npt threads. Also most uk oil and gas instillations banned the use of tape due to accidents and clip-board warriors. Saying that when used correctly the combination of the two can work miracles. Side note people who use thread lock to seal threaded fittings really grind my gears.

I'm going to have to reuse "when she cools. . . tighter than a nun."

I sense an incoming Wranglestar video on the best cordless compressor ever.

I don't understand half the stuff he is talking about but man is great to listen to.

Your videos make my soul not hurt

The 4 leaf clover that says ASME is the code stamp saying it complies to a standard like ASME BPVC VIII section 1 or 2 or ASME B31.3.

The 20V range of tools in the US is marketed as 18V in the UK. The flex volt stuff drops from 60V to 54V. The battery packs seem to have the same number of cells, as they are the same size. I'm wondering if there is a different imperial volt (as opposed to a metric volt ;) ) or if the goalposts are further apart on the honesty scale.

Super enjoyable thanks for for the knowledge! I'm sure it'll come in handy

This is a gem of a BOLTR.

Friction Drill! Just watched that video again yesterday!

I'll never forgot watching you try and remove that dewalt battery, by doing everything but hitting the release button.

The HPC just released an interesting video on their regular vs hydraulic vise and the force sensor. I'm sure you'll see it soon, but it might deserve a follow-up to your previous endeavour about grip strength in CNC machines.

A friend from a forum actually told me just recently to put a bit of PTFE tape onto the bleeder valve on my brake calipers. It doesn't seal it when it is shut (that's what the tapered end does) but it does prevent air creeping in through the threads while bleeding the system. Works a treat, I need more PTFE-Tape to put it into all the threads.

Not for lifting? I spat my beer out my nose..... Thanks AvE.

We called them speed clips. Saw a lot in American vehicles awhile ago

Bro you’re something else. Just ordered some of your stickers. Keep up the always scookum entertainment.

Had one of these compressors. Ran 2 minutes, locked up and blew smoke. Took it apart and found one of the 4 screws that fasten motor to crank housing jammed in-between cylinder and connecting rod. Other 3 screws laying loose. They were never screwed into the motor housing!

I believe the tank doesn’t have the ASME stamp because their standards aren’t applicable to pressure vessels that are less than a certain size, I’m not 100% sure of the number but I think it’s 5 gallons.

3:25 Its like having a door that says "DO NOT OPEN", then just build a wall

The filthy screw under the plastic label. A classic :-)

What a great channel. Thanks for the vid!

Missed opportunity for an innuendo at 8:40, I think AvE is finally getting old

I burst out laughing from the red battery cover because of what happent before

I learn so much from the spontaneous aside chats. Keep it up uncle B. I liked the chat about the npt and bpt and jic. Now I'm going to go and give my swagecock fittings a hug... My first job with them was a argon system with about 25 connections. No leaks. Holds 1500psi for a week. I know large molecule yada yada thats easy. But still its a piece of piss and cheaper than a pipefitter. Keep your stick in a swage.

I believe your correct on the unloaded. When that top reed gets damaged by the heat and back fills into the compression chamber they don’t want to restart the compressor with say 70 psi at bdc causing a higher startup current. The pressure would push the piston down, uncover the hole and bleed off.

A FEATURE LENGTH AvE?! I'm going to get some food ready before starting this one.

Didn't get the timing on the unboxing sir, bout how long she take ya?

What an awesome video. I've had this DCC2560 for about 3 weeks and it stopped working. DeWalt send a replacement and suggested I scrap the one that stopped working. Given it's only three weeks old, I'd really like to tinker with it myself to get it working. This helped me figure out how to get it apart and how it all works. If I get it working, I'll let you all know what I did to fix it.

Ave ,found ur channel few months back ,awsome an finally someone with some hard to find usable info about the tools an such that people use in average or even above average garage,shop,or kitchen table when the ol girl gone out for the day ha!thank u. Could use some repair or remolding info on 6-12 battery chargers as i have about 10 of them in a pile that im currently triping over an also maybe on tread mill permanent magnet motors. Like to wire to run without controller if possible. Thanks a ton.

So you take electrocity from the wall and stuff it into a battree. Then take the wrangled pixies from the battree to spinamathing the compressor to hold the residual power. I think it would be interesting to find out how much energy is lost in the two processes it takes to run the compressor, charging and then pumping, compared to a standard compressor.

DeWilt is running ads on your channel -- fighting fire with advertising (them, not you)?

Being in an industry that does a lot of screwing, we use mostly the parallel threads and not the wedge one you mentioned which is called tapered thread. The reason being we found that if we had a leak on a tapered and stripped it out the female side was in most cases expanded due to someone tightening the fitting too far in. Consequence being it was really difficult to get a tight joint the second time

I once bought a "super silent" compressor, only 40db! When I did turn it on at home, it was so loud that I had a hard time to her my self shouting. I turned out that the 40db was measured outside at 30 feet distance! :-)

I had to rewind and make sure i heard that right "Built like a shit brickhouse"

It'd be neat if they made it where you could plug it into the wall as well as with the batterias. I've got a 300cfm blower fan at work that has batteries but you can just plug in any old extension cord into a socket behind where the batteries go

"Inspiance conforting". mint!

I appreciate your channel because it reminds me of all the stuff I learned following my grandfather around in his shop doing whatever bullshit project we were working on. Half the time I think we did projects just so he could get some peace and quiet from grandma bless her heart :D

Haven't read every comment (maybe someone else pointed it out)... There is a small nuance: When it says tested "per" ISO 1217 it doesn't say tested "To" ISO 1217. This is a way the Marketing wankers weasel the consumer. Usually using the word "per" allows for a company to create their own procedure which is based on a standard. This allows for a bit of latitude but does not assure full compliance.

I'd like to hear your opinion on the fuel injected stihl chainsaw. Just curious.

I have one of these compressors it isn’t strong but it will take you out of a jam if you need it. The way I looked at it was either buy all new battery powered nail guns which aren’t very good or have a battery powered compressor which has a lot of uses. I never thought of it as a very “good” compressor but it gets the job done. Love the vijayos keep it up

When I seen this pop up on my phone, I was excited. Not because of the new video but because I thought my package ( 60v compressor) had been delivered. Then looking at my phone on my next break I realised I am sadly mistake. Thanks pal, thanks a lot. lol jokes aside, this will be an interesting one for me. Been wondering how good it is.

Don't be sloppy with your glaucoma medication, it never hurts if you overdo it at bit to be sure that your vision stays clear.

Wow,a compressed air battery charger next please..!

my eye blomberter,sees that finger soft ometerworking.great explaination. as always. thanks.

Good show!
