REVIEW: Scissor Jack Adapter – Accessory for my 20V Impact Wrench – Faster Tire Rotations at home.

I got a Scissor Jack adapter tool ( https://amzn.to/3D5dmW5 )for my impact wrench. I love to rotate my tires. It also helps me when rotating my tires at home. I use a Bravolu 21V MAX Brushless Power Impact Wrench ( https://amzn.to/35zIzlE ) as I do my own tire rotations and automotive maintenance. I wanted to experiment to see if i can save even more time by just using the Impact Wrench on my scissor jack to raise the car faster without using the 17 mm tool. I used it to raise my car for tire rotations in seconds with the impact wrench.

The Scissor Jack adapter tool ( https://amzn.to/3D5dmW5 ) uses a bolt to lock onto the two prong scissor jack hook mounts. The adapter fits a 1/2 inch impact wrench and 21MM socket. I used it to raise my car for tire rotations in seconds with the impact wrench.

I also got at (2 Ton) with Ratchet Tool ( https://amzn.to/3kMz2vI ) so I can have a spare jack in my car. It comes with a swivel top for pinch weld jacking points, and a 17 mm bolt so i can use 17 mm socket . The included ratchet tool is light in weight and provides good leverage to lift the car but what if I can just use my impact wrench? Will it break my new jack?

Using a whetstone ( knife sharpening stone ) for the first time.

I wanted to learn how learning how to sharpen my kitchen knives using a whetstone. There are many types whetstones sold online ( https://amzn.to/2R0hy0g ) ranging from various grits of 300 to 8000. I wanted to learn the fundamentals before I upgrade to better Santoku knife ( https://amzn.to/3dLVm3R ) and a better whetstone in future. Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

I went out and bought a $1 whetstone and a $1 entry level Santoku (https://amzn.to/3dLVm3R ) style kitchen knife from a dollar store to practice on. My parents have been using their 20+ year old 8 inch whetstone to sharpen every knife and scissors in their house since i was a kid. My dad loved spending time sharpening knives. I always wanted a Santoku knife and aspire to own a better one in the future.

After spending about 1 hour sharpening my $1 Santoku blade, it was really sharper compared to factory! I was able to easily cut paper and dice apples .
Things I learned from this practice:

  1. Keep your focus on technique, motion and consistent angle for a good sharp edge (burr).
  2. Keep the whetstone and knife wet and lubricated. This keeps the metal shavings build up low on the whetstone.
  3. A new whetstone needs A LOT of water in the beginning. It was easier just to sharpen the knife in a tub of water.
  4. Even $1 Whetstone can make a $1 Santoku knife razor sharp. Definitely worth it to have in the kitchen or garage for extending the lives of knives and sharpening tools.

I will be practicing more on my $1 whetstone before buying more advanced whetstone ( https://amzn.to/2R0hy0g ) in the future.
