Rhyno posted:I have the Ryobi automatic. You set the desired pressure, hit start and let it go til it's full. Ooh, didn't know they had multiple versions. So at that point, the difference between them probably goes to whichever batteries you already have on hand. Also, Project Farm did a test of inflators just a couple months ago, may be worth a watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkxpuzYggd4

Unless you're using it for a living, the prices are super attractive. Plus, the same parent company owns both brands, so you have to think there's some engineering crossover.

One benefit with a pancake compressor, or something with a real air tank in general, is they are a bit more multipurpose. You can use it for something like an airbrush, hook a nozzle to it and blow/sweep with compressed air, or blowing out lines and the such. I actually blew out my irrigation lines with my crappy little one this fall. Of course, if you just want it for tires and nothing else then one of those little dedicated jobs is probably fine if not speedy.

Made a offer on a house Friday with another one made as well and got the news yesterday morning that mine was accepted so I'm pretty excited. Is on an acre of land so I'll be getting a dog finally. It also has an oversized 3 car garage with plenty of room for large workbenches and tools. I think another MR2 turbo is in my future to fix up...

Which Ryobi are you using? The one I linked does a tire in like 3 minutes tops. And you don't have to sit there and hold a button or a check a gauge or anything.

So it turns out that Makita either has or is just about to release an 18V version of their portable inflator: https://www.makita.co.nz/products/model/DMP180

It’s less about getting sick from it directly, though that’s also a concern. What I’m worried about is the economic impact of a massive disruption to China, plus a wave of panic hoarding when the first local outbreak hits, plus the absence of competent leadership here in the US, and lastly the risk to my aging mother’s life. Italy’s starting to see increasing spread and Twitter is full of empty shelf photos from Italian stores. They’ve now instituted mandatory quarantines in some towns. South Korea’s seen a 20x increase in cases in the last week and they’re talking about taking drastic measures. It’s basically inevitable that it’ll spread to every country, and herd panic responses and poor leadership will follow. Might be smart to stock up on groceries and essentials to last a couple of weeks. Worst case, you just use em anyway.

It’s almost impossible that it won’t, and it’s plausible that it has already. I’m surprised how little people seem to be doing to prepare. Not tin foil hat poo poo, but just things like stocking up for store shortages. I’m also hunting for some motor mounts for my NB2 before stocks run out, because, you know, priorities.

In a Korean religious cult? A pants shitter who is getting wound up by the BS of the media / C-SPAM? - No, second thoughts I'll leave this in because there's a lot of absolute BS being spread about Covid-19 and honestly, it's just getting truly stupid the misinformation and fear being spread Then yes you indeed have something to worry about! The rest of us.... pretty much even if we get it, it'll be a complete non event - the rates of even hospital are low for anyone under 50. There's a lot of doubt the 2% fatality rate is close to reality due to cases that just don't develop into anything or just a bit of a sniffle - like influenza and thence just go unnoticed and uncounted. Most of the time you feel a bit under the weather, three days later you are fine. Sure some cases get bad esp iif you have a pre-existing issue beforehand (or live in areas where the air is dirty / you are a smoker / old) but bluntly put the chances of even it getting like that are low except if you are old or in piss poor health to begin with. And unlike Influenza, this is behaving exactly like other coronaviruses and barely affecting young people at all. Also it looks like it doesnt spread well in warmer enviroments.

I always have enough beans and rice for weeks if not months, as well as a white gas camp stove. Living in Florida you learn to be without power and groceries for at least a week if not longer. I imagine if poo poo gets weird it will be much the same. I've had the bird flu, the swine flu, and other crap that was killing folks and freaking people out, and beat it off in a couple days. I've quit smoking thanks to my vape pen (which I'm weaning off of much faster than I thought I would) and I'm running again. Fuckin' bring it on. My mom and dad will absolutely die though, being smokers in their sixties. Beach Bum fucked around with this message at 13:15 on Feb 24, 2020 |

I took everyone's suggestions on tire inflators and just bought the one wirecutter recommended since it has a 12V option  .We only bought a house a year ago, so I'm still collecting/buying tools. Sounds like a lot of people have bought in to the Ryobi battery system, but Makita may also be good?

Makita is better quality and more expensive than Ryobi. But Ryobi is more affordable and has a bigger variety of tools and other poo poo (fans, radios, lights etc) that work on their batteries, all my poo poo is Ryobi, I even have a Ryobi lawnmower and it's awesome. It's all fine for me as a homeowner, I don't need DeWalt/Makita level tools.

You're not being a hero for rolling up to work infectious, you're being an utter oval office.

I’m a contractor that my host company won’t convert because the CIO is... odd about the position. gently caress you, I’m coming in unless I’m dying, because I can’t afford to lose multiple days’ pay. Fortunate for them that I don’t really get sick often I’m Typhoid Mary Actually, my supervisor is pretty cool and perturbed at the situation re: not converting to full time regular employee, so he tells me to take a day as needed and still put down the hours.

And it’s finally been long enough not giving out that number that no one has left a voice mail for months. We still use that number for emergencies and bill collectors, though.

If I were a pro, my tools would be Dewalt or Milwaukee or some such, but the Ryobi stuff is holding up fine for homeowner stuff. It doesn’t hurt that you can buy the older NiCad tools and use the LiIon batteries with them, making used tools viable. Almost all of my Ryobi are the old blue tools. I bought a big set on eBay a couple years ago for cheap.

I'm in the "hosed by china quarantine" camp too. My bosses love cutting things right down to the wire, so we have a project that has to be in Germany by may 1 and we just placed the order for over 80 unique parts from china. Normally our shop over there would knock them out by April 1 but they're saying they're at 60% capacity and lead times are stretched out. Our local shops no quoted the order so they were our last resort. So yeah we're not going to make it. The worst part is that I'm also going to lose two weeks just to bad timing, my manager has a newborn in the hospital so he's been MIA last week, and the boss over him is at a customer site for this entire week, so no decisions are going to get made. I need those guys to approve POs. I'm actually really worried about my manager, he's just.. out. No comms of any kind, which means it's bad.

You would still need to turn the compressor on and drag the end of the hose to the wheel but that is more comparable to grabbing a 12v/ryobi compressor and the faffing required to plug that in/grab a charged battery

Fortunate for them that I don’t really get sick often I’m Typhoid Mary I've been sick as hell for a few days, still haven't been converted to FT. So no sick days. I was already into OT when I left Friday, so I threw away several hundred bucks by not going in Sat or Sun.  (this was going to be a ~55-60 hour week) Not sure yet if I'm going in tonight. Problem is, I basically have an emergency-only insurance plan through the ACA (it'll pay for routine PCP visits with a $25 copay, but nothing else until I hit an $8000 deductible), and my PCP won't take a "routine illness" visit, as he only does internal medicine. I think my employer requires a dr note after 3 days. I'll have to check with the clinic I use to see if my HMO will cover me seeing other doctors at the same location; with the insurance I had last year, they would.I give out my GV number for everything, unless it's to someone that will actually be calling me (i.e. friend, coworker, boss). Even job applications get the GV number, and my official phone number on file with my employer is my GV number (since they report job history to Lexis-Nexis). Everyone knows I work nights, so they're used to getting sent straight to voicemail if they call when I'm normally sleeping.

AvE on YouTube did a comparison breakdown of Milwaukee vs Makita vs DeWalt. And in his opinion the design/quality goes 1Makita 2Milwaukee 3DeWalt I have all Milwaukee stuff just because I had a bunch of their batteries and chargers already from a contractor who skipped out on a job. AvE's opinions were based on plastic quality and bearing support etc. One nice thing about Milwaukee is that high quality cheap Chinese counterfeit batteries are plentiful. Not sure if this is the video but it's a good watch anyways. https://youtu.be/ZY7XO5H_6HY Also if you haven't watched AvE before. He's a BC Canada guy who is some sort of electrical engineer or maybe the world's smartest millwright ? Who works at a big mining operation and his videos are like meditation to me.
