In the household, a grinder, an electric jigsaw, a reciprocating saw are useful. These tools are helpful in household chores. But buying 3 devices is expensive, carrying them with you is difficult. What to do? Perhaps you should buy an innovative renovator tool that will replace all of this. But is he so good? Today we will tell you if he can replace a bunch of the usual tools for the home.
Renovator Description
A similar device was invented 40 years ago, but was not widely used. Anew began to be issued several years ago, because the term of the patent for its release has expired. This is an oscillation based tool. They are transmitted directly from the engine through an eccentric. Turning movements of the nozzle with a frequency of up to 30,000 swings per minute are obtained. The amplitude depends on the size of the eccentric, but the difference is small. It is the high, adjustable frequency of movement of the head that makes the renovator a useful tool in the household. Renovator is also called a universal cutter.
They are sold in a networked and standalone version, with a battery. A power outlet is much cheaper. Battery models give greater freedom of action - up to several hours of continuous operation, but also cost more. If you can work near the mains, you should take a renovator with an electric cord and a complete set of nozzles "for all occasions."
Models from 400 W are able to work longer and at high frequencies, but noticeably harder. It is necessary to choose what is more necessary - weight or frequency of vibration. The seat for nozzles is the same for expensive and cheap models. Charged models feature keyless key exchange.
The set of nozzles of the device replaces a number of tools:
- Angle grinder;
- reciprocating saw;
- jigsaw;
- grinding machine.
Renovator Benefits Set
Renovator is an alternative solution to traditional tools. It is used by builders, installers, summer residents, sculptors. Vibration mode with appropriate nozzles will allow you to perform work:
- sawing up of material - metal, wood, asbestos and others;
- cleaning surfaces from rust, paint;
- cleaning tile joints;
- thin trimming of the ends;
- removal of glued surfaces;
- grinding surfaces;
- design of rectangular cutouts;
- selection of grooves;
- sawing plastic, metal pipes.
Pros and cons of the tool
Like any universal device, the renovator has positive and negative aspects in its work. List of positive qualities:
- no external rotating parts exist;
- simplicity of construction;
- single housing with easily replaceable nozzles;
- replacement of several types of tools;
- use in hard to reach places;
- reduced likelihood of damage to adjacent surfaces;
- minimal risk of injury;
- convenience of work at height;
- compactness and convenience.
With all the advantages, there are some disadvantages based on the features of the machine:
- do not cut steel sheets - it is designed to work with soft materials;
- it is inconvenient to make long cuts;
- embarrassing to sand large surfaces;
- the cost of nozzles is high;
- the price of the renovator is too high.
Being universal, the renovator is useful when working at home. It is also convenient to take with you - it weighs a couple of kilograms, and the nozzles occupy a minimum of space. DThis tool is intended for the treatment of small surfaces, work in hard to reach places. But with large volumes of work, it will not be able to replace narrowly targeted machines - a cubic meter of circular boards will cut better and 10 times faster.
