Well yes, but what if I want to electrocute-abrade myself using just one semi-finished tool?

Does anyone have a preferred, high-quality tap and die set? Cost isn't necessarily a huge concern, would rather have something that will last (at least until I snap the taps off in something) and has a pretty good selection of freedom thread sizes. Thanks!

Does anyone have one of those hanging lanterns that run off a drill battery and use a 9W compact fluoro tube? I was considering getting one or two for camping but am not sure whether they are worth anything compared to a cheap chinese LED.

Most of those use cheap chinese leds instead of florescent tubes these days. What color batteries are you using?

If you happen to use M18 batteries already, I absolutely love these things: This one also has a USB outlet and can direct the beam to project 180-360°.  I'm not sure of the USB current rating but it charges the phone decently fast. This one is also good, but I use it less often than the lantern. That said, when I want to work under a car its ratcheting head is really really good for that.  I think combined they were less than $100. I tend to buy M18 refurbished whenever eBay has 10-25% off refurb deals. Has done well for me so far.

As someone sitting at home without power for the last 24 hours and looking at probably no power for the next couple of days I would strongly suggest picking up your flavor of tool battery version of an LED light source as well as a radio. I have plenty of storm prep stuff and we're in good shape but I have a whole ton of DeWalt batteries that are sitting around charged up that could be used for stuff like this. Definitely wish I had these at the moment.

Speaking of a ton of DeWalt batteries, I just grabbed a pack of these today. 4 pack of batteries, $170 off down to $150. Seems like a great deal (I hope) if you can find them in a store near you, because lol they wanted loving $80 if I chose to get delivery.

I have Hitachi (HiKoki) power tools which is pretty limiting in the variety of skins you can obtain. Specifically the lantern is presumably an older model that uses a fluoro.

Hey team neon green! Question about the One+ lawnmowers that Ryobi offers, like how powerful are they? I'm in the market for a new lawnmower... and in the past(and the future I'm sure) I have let my lawn get a little overgrown, and am wondering how powerful the One+ models are. Thanks!

It serves us fine, though we haven't had enough rain this year for our lawn ever to get notably overgrown. We got a sweet package deal for the mower + a chainsaw and we're happy.

Yeah they've got a deal for the mower, a string trimmer, AND another battery/charger combo that I'm heavily eyeing. It goes up to a 4" height so I think I should be fine..

We talking the 18v or the 40v? I have to imagine the the 18v is wimpy for all but the smallest lawns. I have the cheapest 40v mower, trimmer, blower, and chainsaw and they've all done me well.

I actually do have a small and wimpy lawn, lol. POs did heavy landscaping so I really only have a small wedge shaped front, and a few thin strips in the back. I'm going to borrow a friend's 40v soon to see how well it does then go from there. I'm thinking if I can not be a fuckin sloth about mowing the 18v will do me just fine.

Mine will choke a little bit if I let the lawn get really long or near the end of the battery charge, but it does OK on a relatively small lawn. It's also not hard to restart, since you just press a button, not rev an engine like a gas mower.

It's also not hard to restart, since you just press a button, not rev an engine like a gas mower. I have this 40V one and it is terrible for what I needed. That said, I have thick weedy grass and a lot of trees on a fairly big lawn. It takes 3 complete battery charges of the included battery to mow roughly 0.25 acres. Out of the box it would intermittently start/stop because of an improperly tightened pushing handle, though once I tightened it its been fine. It absolutely sucks to push on a hot summer day, and compared to my M18 batteries, the charging is slow as gently caress. The ejection chute loves to get jammed, the bagging never gets more than half full before its not cutting as well due to getting loaded up. It also doesnt mulch down weeds and small sticks well. I ended up getting a used ride on and it was the right choice. If you have a small lawn that is just grass and concrete, it could be fine for that.

I have the same 40V one and for the most part I like it. It works great in early spring and late summer. Mid summer, when it gets really fuckin hot n wet, it starts eating batteries. I have one of the big batteries that the mower came with and a couple smaller ones, and I can usually get through my suburban lawn on the biggun and one smaller one. Then I still have one small one for the string trimmer, which I actually like quite a bit. When it’s cooler out, and the grass is dryer, I’ve been able to do the whole yard one just the big battery. Early on I did some comparison of running it with the grass bag, the side ejector, and the mulching plug. I havent been able to tell a difference in battery life. YMMV. I think it’s needs-suiting but it’s probably dependent on your climate and grass.

Do they still sell the hybrid one that takes 2 18v batteries and you can plug it in if needed? Because that works for me, I put it on the highest setting to take down the overgrown lawn when it got to like 8" tall then went back over it on the middle setting a day later and it didn't struggle.

What's the functional difference between 21º and 34º air nailers? I need to do some first-fix framing and I'm trying to figure out what I need to buy. Apparently 90x3.15mm nails are the right kind for this? Is there also a functional difference between full-head and D-cut? Edit: probably firing something like these, though presumably a different form if using a different angle nailer: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tacwise-11...B0069IT0ZI&th=1

At least here in America, Code enforcement doesn't like d-head nails. I use a https://www.metabo-hpt.com/us/main-navigation/item/nr90ad(s1)-3-1-2-paper-collated-framing-nailer-Metabo-HPT 21 degree is plastic collated, which means the gun shoots plastic bits everywhere, and they often bounce back into your face. Plastic collated nails are the cheapest. Originally, paper guns were only shot d-head nails. but they make offset head nails for them now. paper nails tend to cost the most, but I'm not a contractor, so I don't use enough to matter. The steeper angle improves access in tight spaces. The 28 degree wire guns can shoot little bits of wire around, or leave them sticking out from the nailhead. The nail strips are more durable and cheaper than paper. Paper seems like the way to go.

Router question - I have a DW616 that can accept 1/4 and 1/2 shanks. However the baseplate doesn't allow for the larger bits (Cove, roundover, etc)... Where do I get a baseplate with a larger hole? It seems like it should be easy to find, yet... it's not. Everything i see is either "make your own", or it's a base for a table. What do you guys use for these larger bits?

I make my own out of 1/4” plywood (just use the real base as a template to drill the holes). I got a clear acrylic universal base off Amazon that supposedly had holes drilled for my router and every other router in existence but none of them actually lined up with my base so I had to drill my own ones anyway.

Alternatively if the baseplate is some form of plastic resin you can just start up and gently push the bit through it. It's messy. But, expeditious.

Most of these are still in good condition after 8 years. I broke a couple of the smaller ones and have sharpened some, but that’s just the way it is. I also recommend a cheap HF step bit if you’re doing larger holes in thin material. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FSSIYW

Drillbits are eventually going to break or get so dull as to not be worth using. So while high-quality bits are nice, IMO they're not really worth spending a bucket on. Get a step or two up from bottom-of-the-barrel and you should be fine.

Really dumb harbor freight question, their tool chests all say "Please visit any store to order for Free Pickup" and nothing about local stock. So I'm assuming that means it's not a stock item, but I can special order it from the store and have it shipped to the store where I'd pick it up, right? https://www.harborfreight.com/tool-storage-organization/tool-storage/top-chests/26-in-single-bank-top-chest-blue-64430.html

I recently got one on wheels and they had it in stock in the store. I know talking to other humans isn’t a thing goons do, but I called and asked and they could tell me what they had and even what colors. I think they just don’t want to ship a big heavy thing that would cost 25-50% of the purchase price to ship.
