xwing posted:You're probably fine if it's a concrete slab. It's no more than a few linebackers players standing close. None of the pictures ive been sent have safe model or UL on them, just the relocking mechanism. It would be going on a wood framed floor in a corner where the floor is strongest after I weigh it and am comfortable with it. Ill get a chance to see it in person early next week

You should be able to accurately estimate anything up to 1500 lbs.

I have the equipment to move it, am just worried its too heavy for where I want to put it. Where are you planning on putting it? NM didn't see your reply, corner is good. Some people talk about dropping down metal plates etc to in theory spread more of the load across more joists but probably overkill.

To spread the load across the metal plate on the bottom of the safe? This thing looks like a fairly lightweight "true safe". In that size we're talking 1200 lbs or so. Something that size in an RSC (residential security container - i.e sheet metal of varying gauges with drywall to handle fire protection and vaguely safe-looking stuff on the door) would be about 400 lbs.

I've been eyeing that Makita deal with the two tools and batteries on Amazon. For homeowner/DIY stuff is that Makita gear significantly better than the Ryobi One+ stuff? I'm definitely after a drill and circular saw, maybe other tools if the price is right.

The corded version is marketed as a jigsaw replacement, since you don't have to drill the corners to cut something out.

I'm waffling on buying a portaband to clamp in a vise and use as a tabletop bandsaw (but if I need to cut the exhaust off a car, I could), and I really should buy it today since HF has a sale on, but I also need the tiny chainsaw, because ... tiny chainsaw!  I have a tree that needs pruning, this'd be perfect for it -- sure I could use the cordless Sawzall, but it'd shake the poo poo out of it, or fire up the real chainsaw, but  for lopping off a branch smaller than my finger.canyoneer posted:Texas Chainsaw Manicure

That's a kickass deal! I mean, Ryobi would probably be fine for most stuff, but the Makita cordless tools are just a joy to use, and will definitely handle anything you throw its way. You can have confidence that you'll be able to run a 4" holesaw or rip poo poo with the cordless circular saw. You can also feel confident about the whole ecosystem of tools you can expand into, as well as the fact that the battery terminals aren't likely to change anytime soon, obsoleting your tools. My workplace has a Ryobi drill, and I hate using it. It barely works, the batteries suck, and anytime I need to do anything more than sinking screws (like running a hole saw), I just bring my makita from home.

Can't find them in any US stores online, but looking at Amazon Germany, €20-25 per blade.

Even professionals seem to generally regard plunge cuts as one of those bad ideas you sometimes just need to do. As long as you only cut with the bottom third or so of the tip, it's not significantly more dangerous than any other chainsaw operation. It's only really bad if you use the very end or top section of the tip. That's what causes kickback. Typically you don't plunge the bar straight in, you rock it in from the bottom.

Yeah, if someone had a post & beam job like 200 years ago when America still had hardwood rainforests that were the envy of the world, and that saw had a correctly angled plunge base (it doesn't) like the other comments in the thread, it would be a little badass mortiser for like 4" x 6" mortise cuts. To me, it's a preposterous and dangerous little toy with little practical use.

Does anyone have a recommendation for cheap particulate filters in Ontario, Canada? I have a 3M 7502 Respirator and have been buying the 3M P100 Particulate Filters off amazon. But they aren't very cheap, and so I find myself using a cartridge for far longer than I should be.
