Unboxing and testing an Erbauer 2100W half inch router ER2100
This video shows the unboxing and testing of the Erbauer 2100 watt half inch router. It is not an endorsement or sponsored video, it's just my own experience of an item I have purchased for a DIY project (fitting kitchen worktops).
I used the router in conjunction with a Trend TR17 10.7mm worktop cutting bit and a Unika standard worktop jig.
I'd be interested to hear of your experience if you have purchased and/or used one?
Thanks for watching

Urban wild fox comes over for supper UK
Переглядів 3164 роки тому
The resident wild fox in our street often calls to see if there's any food around. I was out weeding when she started hanging around waiting for something. I found a few scraps to give her. Knowing their reputation as voracious hunters and killers I'm always surprised at how delicate and careful this red fox is when eating. Thanks for watching. (C) consumedbynature 2020

Should have fitted a 3 star anti snap lock. Lock looks too long for the door and is sticking out too far at the front . Easy to snap it.
Thank you! I didn't know about those holes! Thank you again!
Beautiful work you done I am looking for someone who do for me I have daughter she is ill I went make for her
Thanks for this, my door would not lock. I took the barrel out, cleaned it, oiled it and re-aligned it, I did not even need a new lock!
Great video. Straight to the point. Thanks
How do you change it if it if the door won't open?
How you change it if you've lost your key and the door is locked
thank you gu for the tips and great tricks
Hero
Brilliant! Video explained well, I used it to replace broken valve. Job done and works a treat 😁
well done you've fitted a oversized inferior lock to what you had on before, that's why you pay for a locksmith they know what they're doing
I could hug you right now ❤😭 fed up with being stung financially. This helps me so much. I can't thank you enough. Really helped me and my family god bless
Amazing mate cheers ! Its defo the little things in life 😊
Excellent 👌 the best 🎉
Nice video , really helpful . Thanks !
How much did it cost to do?
Brilliant - helped me diagnose the problem, identify what needed to be replaced, and fixed it myself! Thanks!!
That is a great video I have to build something almost identical and have the same concrete fence posts so this is amazing step by step for my project. Thanks for posting this!!
This review has been really helpful. Thank you. My old router has started to die off a bit on job I was on and I will need to buy a new one.
what is the green replacement part called please, great video thanks for posting it
Awesome hikvision ❤
WTF
1.25 did the trick, that was me… Thank you 🤝🏾
Awesome saw. Lots of adjustability to ensure good setup and accuracy and is a breeze to use. Wish I’d bought it a lot sooner. Definitely the better choice over the hj7611 etc.
Not working for me
Thanks for a really useful video which helped me diagnose the problem and fix it with a solenoid costing just £9.25 on Amazon. In my case the old solenoid was impossible to fully remove using just my fingers and I had to resort to levering it off using some tools but I managed to do so without breaking anything and my shower is now fully functional again. Thanks again.
Thanks for the help easy fix.
Brand new washing machine and not dispensing softener into machine. Not clogged never worked, please advise,
Thank you sir i really appreciate it
Superb tutorial, easy to follow, thanks very much.
Purchased this router few weeks ago. Everything is pretty much the same as it is shown in this video from 3 years ago, APART of the metal guide you’re using there that came with it. Yeah, that thing is plastic now. Very flimsy and completely unusable if you need precision. Have a look at a video of a German guy comparing this Parkside with Bosch and with Festool (you can do English subtitles), but he basically shows in detail how flimsy it is and how now 90° the screw in the middle is. A little disappointing that they decided to cut costs and replace a usable part with unusable junk. I’d prefer then to add 1-2 quid to the price of the unit, but keep the metal guide instead of cheap plastic 💩
Thanks my lock just needed refitting into holes. Thanks for the video saved me getting a repair person out. WM is about 15 years old hopefully I’ll get a bit more out if it now😀
Thanks really helpfull video 😃👍
YOU MADE A GREAT JOB WELL DONE
Hello just found your videos,do you do work for others too?i mean as a business?are you based in London?
Sorry if someone has already asked, but I can’t get the barrel out no matter how much jiggling I do with the key on or not 😢 Any idea?
You might have to take the handle off first, the barrel might have lugs on the top of it.
