Deteriorata posted:The only aesthetics for a tool is how well it does the job it's designed to do. Tools that aren't designed to be used aren't tools. Oh god this. Because the most important thing for a tool is how it looks and not, you know, how it functions. BAD DESIGN  It seriously looks like someone looked at a wrench and figured out all the ways to make it useless:-5mm thick so it hurts your palm -120mm long so you can barely grip it -60mm wide so the smallest wrench has needlessly bulky jaws -No taper so good luck using it on a fastener that doesn't have loads of clearance around it -ROMAN NUMERALS? That will look great for a SAE set -No hole for a lanyard/keyring/hook so I guess I'm supposed to stack them like Jenga

Forcing the designer to use his own tools is the best punishment I can think of. E: Bulk Vanderhuge posted:
I think the ultimate goal here was to keep users from leaving the mouse plugged in 24/7, because that would spoil the designer's vision. If it were actually for safety it would be a pretty elegant solution, but you'd expect this mouse to have a built-in overcharge protection circuit already.

They look like an award, actually. The stack of them look like what would be given out as a tool design award. It's useless as an actual tool but would look good welded to a plaque, maybe.

An award makes sense, but I'm convinced that they're just some industrial designer's art project that his professor liked enough that he added them directly to his portfolio. I see no way to purchase them on the site, and the fact that they don't have a real case to keep them in makes me hope that they're not supposed to be used

slidebite posted:Improper installation, be it technique or general handling, account for the vast majority of premature bearing failures in my experience. Yeah I figured it was an installation issue. It was making some odd noises up to the failure. I'd get a random clicking here and there that made me think CV joint... then one night got a horrific grinding that shook the car pretty violently. Pulled over immediately, my boss picked me up so we could finish my delivery (was doing pizza delivery at the time), got it towed home, went back to just clicking after the tow. I still limped it very slowly to my mechanic the next day. The outer CV joint boot on that side had been ripped for a long time, with the CV joint making a lot of racket, so both myself and my longtime mechanic (NOT the one who installed the bearing) figured it was the CV joint. Slapped a new half shaft in, and ... click... click... GRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINDclickclickGRINDclick... so out came the bearing puller. IIRC he hit me with his actual cost for parts (axle, wheel bearing, seals), and the labor for the bearing. He let me off really light on that, but he was just as interested in finding out what the hell was going on as I was. Plus I "helped" (by sweeping up the mess that the exploding bearing made). He said he'd never seen anything like it. And I know it was a quality bearing - Timkin. I'm not sure what brand went back in (it came from O'Reilly's), but it never made noise again.

If it came from oreillys, it was either master pro (in house poop) or National, which aren't bad.

Are you sure it wasn't a Timken bearing? Perhaps the misspelling is indicative of a Chinese bearing...

Supposedly it can get a 9-hour charge in about 2 minutes, so it's not as big of a deal as it seems. If your mouse dies, plug it in and go to the bathroom. It'll be good to go when you get back.

But they could've handled it a lot differently. Hell, even creatively. Like, make it so you press down a little hard on the back and it pops up 5mm to reveal a usb port. Use mouse as normal until charged and then unplug and press the case back down. See, that would be kinda cool. What they did was lazy.

Until I got the Porsche, I don't think I ever used an odd number socket on any of my Japanese cars since I was a kid, with the exception of 17mm and 19mm. 8, 10, 12, 14 probably were 90% of the fasteners. Now I run into 13 and 15 very commonly and have to actually think about it grabbing a socket/wrench now.

Audi loving loves 11, 13 and 15 and triple square. Makes me miss Japanese cars where a bag of 10mm sockets will get you about 70% of the way to disassembling the entire car

Literally the only Snap-on wrench I own is an 11mm one that I found two years ago. I think I've used it once. I don't even remember on what, just being all excited that I finally got to actually use it.
