Also I have visited like 60 sites... Yessss, ditto, I've largely moved to collecting magnets as well. I especially love those mini replica survey markers, those are my absolute favorite! Wish more parks sold those. My GF also picked up the passport book, and my long term goal is to get that all stamped out too

After going camping in Yellowstone, I decided my 20 year old tent was due for an upgrade. Decided on the Nemo Losi 3 person tent. Should be the perfect size for the wife and I along with gear. I like the roll up carrying case too. My old tent was a giant pain to get back in the bag and the bigger problem was the length of it, which made it really hard to travel with. I had to take it out of the bag to get it to fit in my largest suitcase. This one will fit in easily. I also got my first bike in probably 15+ years. Fuji Jari gravel bike.

Where’d you camp in Yellowstone? I ‘at be out there next week on my way to Butte. I got my Highlander a tuneup for my cross-country drive. Fluids changed, tires rotated & aligned, and a nice car wash before it gets completely splattered with highway bugs.

Reservations were super hard to get in July. Probably a lot easier now that school is back in. We also spent one night down in Grand Teton at Gros Ventre.

I own a bunch of Wera stuff myself, but unfortunately I've discovered recently that I really prefer the Wiha style of handles. But I can't really convince myself to replace hundreds of dollars' worth of perfectly functional screwdrivers in one go.

ArmZ posted:how many screwdrivers does one man need? laughed the fool A lot more than you'd think - it drives me up the wall that people use the wrong size of screwdrivers, especially flats. So you gotta have a set of flats. And Phillips and Pozidrive are not the same thing, so that's one set of each. Plus, bits drivers are for plebs, interchangeable blades are where it's at, so you gotta have a set of that for the times you can't be bothered to faff about with multiple screwdrivers. And you gotta have at least one adjustable torque driver, for the sensitive stuff. And a set of micro drivers for electronics and poo poo.

You really have to work to strip a Robertson, if you’re using the right size of bit.

I know Assy exists but I've literally never seen an Assy-head screw or driver in the wild. Welp that was my Assy story thanks for reading. e: Oh it's actually called AW but it's used on Assy screws.

OniPanda posted:I'm having trouble trying to think of why Robertson exists when there's hex. One can ask that about all the different drive types out there. There are more than a dozen out there. All depends on the application of the fastener that you are using. Also, someone invited another type of drive and the industry liked it and are using it. Why a Roberston (Square) drive over a hex? Square drive offers high driving torque and little cam-out (the tool slips out). Hex drives are prone to rounding off; the edges within the drive smooth out due to wrong tool size or to much torque. Most of the square drives I see usually are slotted-square drive. The square is used by the manufacturer to drive while the slot is used by the end user. best I can come up with. I work in the fastener industry but only as salesperson so my quality knowledge is limited.

MA-Horus posted:Robertson owns when you're driving a gently caress-ton of big deck screws and you don't want to worry about stripping anything. In the US, most deck screws use Torx. But same concept applies. The screw stays on the screw head even without needing it to be magnetized fairly easily, you can apply a good amount of torque to screw them just below the surface of the wood, and since only the screw head of the exact size will fit, there's very little chance to cam out and round it off like with philips and even hex. My main problem with all these different types of drivers and screw heads is that it's hard to find the drive-style i want in the head-style I want easily. Usually because of "inertia," certain screw/bolt/screw-head styles stick with certain types of drivers just because that's how it always has been. For example, I needed some regular machine screws with countersunk heads . I would have preferred Torx because the torque setting on them was high enough I was afraid of rounding off one with a hex/allen screw head, and that's exactly what happened. If I ever have to remove it (which I probably will at some point,) it'll be a huge PITA...because it's countersunk, it'll be VERY hard to just use a Dremel to cut a slot in it...and even if I can, I doubt a slotted driver could unscrew it since it's torqued down pretty good...I'll probably have to drill it out. I know I can get countersunk Torx, but I've only seen them online, I looked in a local Ace, and a nearby Lowe's and could only get Philips or Hex countersunk, and I really needed them that day.

Fun thing I always remember when Robertson is mentioned, shamelessly copied from wiki: "The Fisher Body company, which made the car bodies for the Ford Motor Company, was one of Robertson's first customers and used over 700 Robertson screws in its Model T car. Henry Ford, after finding that the screw saved him about 2 hours of work for each car, attempted to get an exclusive license for the use and manufacture of the Robertson screw in the US. He was turned down by Robertson who felt it was not in his best interest and shortly after that, Ford found that Henry F. Phillips had invented another kind of socket screw and had no such reservations. Although the Robertson screw is most popular in Canada, it is used extensively in boat building because it tends not to slip and damage material, it can be used with one hand, and it is much easier to remove/replace after weathering." Being better for the job doesn't always matter, and once something is the norm, well.....
