They’re sort of for a different purpose. The handheld guys are better for screws and shit where you want that pressure into the head plus a shock. Breaker bar does better with nuts and bolts where you don’t have to worry about the thing camming out. They’re not too bad for extractor sockets though, hammering in gets a good bite but the torque isn’t going to be like a 24” breaker bar plus body weight or hammer.

I didn’t buy that one at least.

My mom was trying to get me Airpods for Xmas and I told her I’m going to break the things within a week at work and she should give them to my sister who mentioned she wanted them a couple weeks earlier. I told her if she wants to get me something I will actually use, get an 18V leaf blower since it’s half the cost of Airpods. But then somehow she brought up the pressure washer and I wouldn’t let her spend $400 on a gas one and this was on sale plus they sold the surface cleaner for it. The PSI rating is pretty good for an electric guy so we’ll see what happens.

Just get a decibel meter and move a stereo around the place and see where the noise is getting through.

Or a seismograph.

I been thinking about some of these smart outlets. I re-caulked the two bathrooms when I broke my foot.

Fishin is a pretty good past time as well. Change spark plugs for the old cat lady and get paid in cat food if you got nuttin better to do on a Friday night.

>>1742847
Btw, do these things even work? I haven’t had a chance to try it out.

>>1744589
Which aunt?

>>1744575
#1 would be my knoife doge.

>>1744987
Sooo just co2 so you can blow hot ashes all over the place and then suffocate yourself?

Not a bad idea though, maybe I can scoop one of those from a shitty restaurant and get ‘er filled at the local knockoff fountain soda distributor.

Trips confirms, nigga trying to make a name for himself. Finna be toppin charts soon, peep muh soundcloud.

Thanks bby ;^)

Why don’t you get a fucking 99¢ socket rail?

>>1567739
Oooh there’s a couple good ones in there. The magnetic strips are dope and you can cut them down to whatever size or just rip out the ~2” long magnets for whatever you want. Pic related, and my tool cart is mag’d out.

6” dish is a good one too if you don’t already have a dozen of them lying around.

Guy down the street from me has a big ass Trump 2020 sign in his yard, been there like a year. Probably 8’x4’ and all framed up in 4 by 4s

Oi that’s looks like one of my jobs.

Flux!
Good leaded solder!

Also then there is solder paste and hot air guns for SMD stuff, but that’s beyond my current level, kinda my next step.

This is why I learned to solder on old useless stuff and not something important.

>>1567646
Hmm... there’s a handful on Amazon for $40-$45 shipped. I’m sure I could find cheaper on Ebay or Ali, bur Amazon is too easy. It’s something to think about, but I’ll probably end up with something like this >>1567626 because of the good reviews and extra heating element and lots of tips. I went back and forth on those Txx things and all of the programmable features don’t really appeal to me, the main reason I would want one is to build something to run it off a drill battery. And if the soldering iron on the all in one thing leaves me wanting more even with good tips, then I get a Hakko for $100.

>>1567636
That was an option too, but people seem to say that these stations are decent and lots of them support Hakko tips and are almost as good once you do that. It’s only like $20 more to get the soldering iron in addition to the hot air, so if it sucks and I still want the Hakko or T## after, it’s no loss.

I still have yet to plug in this Weller that I bought months and months ago, that’s the medium duty one for like $25 from Home Depot. I wanted to abuse the shit out of the $4 iron and learn what I’m doing first.

>>1567619
I think this was another one that has been mentioned. Has good reviews compared to others.

>>1567615
If you can convince em to scan this

>>1567611
$17 for a pair from HF.

>>1567517
Some ferro thing to cut down on interference?

>>1567395
I don’t know who I feel worse for, the dog or your former boss’s 4 year old daughter who walked in the room and witnessed it. Hell, the bossman probably had it worst of all when his daughter came to him and asked “Papa what was that man with no pants on doing to Chester?”

>>1567391
Or poop your pants.

Opie should take whatever device he needs to run the cable to and leave it in the cieling.

>>1567375
Used to be. Now it’s consumer-contractor grade.

>>1567376
Those old ass cars are basic as fuck. Henry Ford’s line built them in like an hour with early 20th century tech. What the fuck is wrong with you? No wonder why nobody will employ you. Also that thing about your former boss’s dog, everybody in town knows and that’s definitely a factor when they see your applications.

>>1567355
>furfag calls somebody embarassing
Will you ever be employable?

>tfw HF just released something I might actually buy
It would be so easy to snag a couple from work, but they would greatly frown upon stealing safety equipment. I mostly didn’t even know where to buy the damn things.

>>1567294
Which is why I bought some 6-ton double locking jack stands from a different store. Those 3-Ton jacks are a standby though, even the most paranoid people buy them and will swap out some Chinesium hardware for Grade 8 stuff and get years out of it.
