/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Have fun doing any real work with your pussy bar.

I was once 18 too. Dont worry, you will learn.

>>1517267
Slip jaw pliers are better and more versatile in general. Sockets skullfuck both for access, grip, and torquing.

>>1517267
Is it from harbor freight?
I think I know of a tripfaggot who would be interested in it!

>>1517267
Hey can you tighten this?

>>1517296
recip saw and arc welder. is the homeowner hot? also duct tape and a ball gag.

>>1517267
You joke but that's actually useful for shit on a bike, both in absence of buying real cone wrenches and cause it's lightweight so you can take that + and adjustable in your carry-along toolkit for turning a nut and a bolt at the same time, without chewing it up.

Also nice to just magnet to machinery as a convenient unobtrusive assembly/disassembly/adjustment tool.

And I suppose that for absolute poverty level it works as a temp thing considering you can get those for literal pennies at garage sales while being a source of thickish metal stock later? Better than breaking some half-plastic/half chinesium ratchet which has 0 use after.

>>1517267
no limit to the stupidly useless gimmicky shit people will buy
i cant wait for a world ending meteor to strike

>>1517285
It’s excluded from the 20% off coupons so I thought it was too expensive.

>>1517397
+1. Time to start with a fresh slate.

>>1517267
Anon i don't know but i just went to one for the first time ever an hour ago and got a fucking sawzall for $20...

I guess the Chinese child labor force is growing up.

The thing even swivels.

We are 3 hours away from one and going back for the scratch and dent sale the 11th next month.

Cashier lady said the 21gal compressors that are $150 with a coupon are lioe $50...

The pieces of shit wont even run an air ratchet but I've used the hell out of mine.

My buddy and i were talking. I'm getting 5 more of them if i can and tying them together. $250 for a 126 gallon compressor.

It's gonna be YUGE.

Programming them to kick on and off individually. How much time between firing them up should i wait until the next one fires? I figured it would be easier on my breaker box and wiring.

Or does it matter?


>AHAHAHA!
>"Always low prices. Always Wal-mart."
>pic related.

The mutherfucker don't even come with vaseline FFS!

>>1517267
HF retail

>>1517278
Shit. Ive given up. If I'm framing houses all day ill buy a Dewalt sawzall or wtf ever.
But i might use mine 1 or 2 times a month and not in an aggressive pissy mood. Just dicking off on the house or in the shop. And you can get a warrenty.

My buddy was paying $300 for pumpjack motors and then paying to have them rebuilt if needed. Now he pays $170 at HF and takes half a dozen in a year for a free replacement if they grenade or burn up.

I fucking LOVE Harbor Freight.

>>1517285
No. Keep him the fuck over on /Out...

Remember kids. Just because he dropped it doesn't mean he's not an egotistical avatarfagging bucket of shit hell bent on being a board celebrity.

>>1517425
>extremely low quality

>>1517267
That looks 3D printed

>>1517422
Fuck no send him back to /o/

>>1517267
That's a good wife tool, put it in the refrigerator.

Lets be fair, HF is good for tools you will use once or twice in a year.

>>1517606
Hey bby

>>1517626
They’re breaking away from that though. Quinn and Doyle pliers, Hercules and Bauer power tools, Ames meters, Pitt Pro ratchets...

I’m not sure what to think. So far they have kept the same cheap Chinesium on the same aisle as the new Taiwanesium, but it won’t be the same store if they stop making Chicago Electric.

>>1517672
HF has always rotated suppliers as new ones pop up and old ones die.

Also did those coffee gurbs work?

>>1517700
They rotate suppliers but they keep making the same things most of the time, I think you can tell by the multiple item numbers when they switch manufacturers. The past couple years have been different, the new brands are shooting for Home Depot tier instead of Walmart and flea market tier.

And I’m not sure I have even used those grubs yet. I have barely been fishing at all the past year because all my time is taken up by work, Latinas, and funposting. The Lucky Crafts are straight though, I think I snagged that jointed one fishing under the bridge on the Intercoastal and was bummed because the action was great and I do well with that off-white color.

>>1517267
I just wear this. It has like 40 tools on it. Use it all the time at work. Plus it looks objectively cool as fuck.

>>1517267
That doesn't look like it can handle anything high torque at all

>>1517727
How many links did you take out to fit that on that twig of a wrist?

>>1517727
BAMF

Those things are kinda pricey too, right? I guess it’s Leatherman so it should be quality but it’s hard to pay so much for a meme tool.

>>1517732
Only one.
>>1517733
If this is meme then a swiss knife is also a meme
Also joke is on you i paid only fraction of the price

>>1517733
Also
>Leatherman
Not even close.
The illusion is working.

>>1517745
Oh damn that sucks. Now when people ask “What is that bullshit on your wrist? No, not the skull watch or paracord bracelet or cut marks, the other bullshit?” you can’t even try to convince them rhat it’s quality tacticool with a 25 year warranty.

>>1517749
Except i can and i frequently do. The build quality is great and all normies like you assume it's legit Leatherman and are just as gelatinous

>>1517754
>just as gelatinous
Not really, I had one for about 2 months. It hung on my clothes and other random shit and pulled hairs out constantly. It was rather annoying trying to use it for small tasks when my Gerber was just plain faster. I traded it to a guy I know to pay off my bar tab and consider the $20 loss I took worth it. He still has it and loves because it is so unique and he can show off the features.

>>1517353
>you can take that + and adjustable in your carry-along toolkit for turning a nut and a bolt at the same time
Or, y'know, two adjustables. Which would be infinitely better and only slightly heavier.

>>1517807
Aww, bepcunt has bought his little bum buddy over from /out/ for some backup from the scawwy anons. Do you samefag your own posts as well?

>>1517898
Only when I need to remember how to spell yuo

>>1517898
>implying Bepu and Zuriss aren't samefag

>>1517727
That's a weird looking dick

>>1517922
My alcoholic Texan alter ego. When I get some Evan Williams in me, I pop the bull horns on my truck and go to town.

>>1517727
That’s a lot to pay to look like a faggy sperg

>>1517807
>hung on my clothes and other random shit and pulled hairs out constantly
literally never happened to me one single time and i wear it 24/7 i even sleep with it because i am too lazy to take it off, it definitely isn't for everyone, because the tool is 50% tool 50% fashion accessory, but i love it

>>1517922
No, bepcunt is a samefag to be sure, but they both have distinct posting history on /out/ according to the archives. I think they are part of the same florida meetup group, he's prolly called him over for maximum jimmy rustling like the shitposter he is, Zuriss has zero posting history here. Why you faggots even respond to him I'll never know.

Not in the ER because my Chinesium tool shattered

>>1518393
When I read this, I have the same feeling the CIA gets when they hear Alex Jones go on a rant. It’s like “He’s so convinced he knows it all, but he’s so far off reality that I almost pity him for living such a confused life”.

It’s a good smokescreen for my Illuminati dealings tho.

>>1518568
So.. You and Zuriss *are* the same person..?

>>1518571
Maybe. Maybe not. That’s the beauty of being on an anonymous quilting forum.

>>1518393
>Why you faggots even respond to him I'll never know.
I don't. I just heckle from the side, talk about him, not to him.
