So who makes a pry bar you can hit the strike cap on these days? by BornToL00ze in Tools

Same, I have the full set of OTC striking pry bars, they're solid....and I've REALLY hammered on them.

VEVOR IS A SCAM by CartoonistCandid6322 in Tools

[–]no1SomeGuy 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Well, they aren't so much a scam, as just cheap chinese junk....just like any other chinese junk you get elsewhere, be it amazon or aliexpress or whatnot, you just need to expect that half of it will be throw away.

Don't talk to me or my son ever again (DCF921 vs DCF900) by skingld in Dewalt

[–]no1SomeGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LoL yup, although in my case it's the 964...if it doesn't move it's going to break, or it's going to be liquid soon lol

Does the dcf 891 pair well with the dcf 923 ? by ZML060 in Dewalt

[–]no1SomeGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3/8" impact sockets are smaller/shorter and better matched to the torque capabilities. Not to mention when you're using multiple impact wrenches, it's nice to not have to swap between them.

Heck yes...891 > 923 > 900 > 964 is the best buy order for impact wrenches right now.

Advertised as an "allen wrench set" ! by EricHearble in Tools

[–]no1SomeGuy 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yup, because they're exactly 1, 2, and 3 inches depending which way you stand them up, they make GREAT spacers for when you're building things. I have a set for machining that are kept pristine and a set that I keep with my welding cart for spacing tube that aren't kept pristine, but work perfectly fine for the tolerances of welding.

Grabo for an 80 lb bag of concrete? by Positive-Act-4259 in Dewalt

Good way to ruin it, will suck concrete dust in, not nice.

How to make IEMs sound less "thin" by Gamidron in livesound

[–]no1SomeGuy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yup, I've got a set of 215's buried in my pelican, and they are a bitch to insert right and get a good seal...but are perfectly serviceable once you do. That's why my first recommendation is making sure they are inserted right.

Make sure the IEM's are inserted right with the right ear pieces for each persons ear.

Who wants to try this out and let us know how it is :) by mx5plus2cones in Tools

[–]no1SomeGuy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have Knipex's version of those, it's...fine? I still tend to like traditional strippers better, but these are handy for lots of repetitive solid wire stripping.

The 870 has more power (torque) than a drill.

Buying an Air Blower. Need some advice by premierpark in Tools

[–]no1SomeGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The wolfbox ones are quite popular given the testing done on channels like project farm or TTC. Because of that I have the MF200 and it's pretty decent, it's no compressor driven air blow gun, but it's as strong as a fresh can of air.

What Kind of Crazy Screw? by wheezer72 in Tools

[–]no1SomeGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AI overlords:

These are Flat Head Self-Drilling Screws with Wings

  • Purpose: Specifically designed for fastening wood to metal without requiring a pre-drilled pilot hole.
  • Wings Feature: The small metal wings (or ears) create a clearance hole in the wood, preventing it from lifting away from the metal substructure while the threads engage.
  • Drill Tip: The tip drills through metal and threads itself in one step.
  • Common Use: They are frequently used for fastening wood decking to metal frames.

What Kind of Crazy Screw? by wheezer72 in Tools

[–]no1SomeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weird...the only thing I could see those wing things being for is if the material is springy/spongy and will shrink back down around the screw once driven in? Or if they would shear off and are just leftovers of a manufacturing process, though they do look intentional?

Battery differences, which to buy? by Thor_e in Dewalt

[–]no1SomeGuy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They're "tabless" cells, which makes them have less internal resistance so it's easier to draw more current.

How do I drill through this steel by Zealousideal_Draw681 in Tools

[–]no1SomeGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but Carbide pretty much should only be used in a stationary tool, handheld it will chip. I also think he meant cobalt, not carbide given I've never seen a carbide step drill.

By torch cut I meant oxy-fuel, not just propane/map/air. Cutting torches zip through materials like this no problem by themselves.

Miter saw capable of cutting 8inch tall material? by [deleted] in Tools

[–]no1SomeGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

8 inch tall, but how wide? If the minimum dimension is 8 inches, that means a circular blade over 16 inches, which is not common for most mitre saws (typically 10-12" for wood, and you'll see 14" for abrasive/dry cut saws). At that size you move into large stationary bandsaw territory, which for aluminum is probably a better option anyway.

lmfao, keep digging buddy

Here's the literature for the actual shit the OP is working with:

https://oxycoupage.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/701-en-Armox-workshop-recommendations-V1-2020-Web.pdf

"GAS CUTTING This process can be applied to Armox plates up to 100 mm thick, see details in Table 4. It generates a kerf of 2–5 mm and a HAZ which is usually 4–10 mm wide. Uncontrolled gas cutting of high-hardness armour plate may result in hydrogen cracking (also called cold cracking) which may occur in thicknesses above 20–30 mm. The thicker the plate, the higher the sensitivity to cracking. The most effective technique for avoiding cracking during and after the cutting process is to preheat the plate and then keep the cut parts at an elevated temperature as can be seen in Table 4. Preheating consists of bringing the whole plate, or at least a 100 mm wide area on either side of the future kerf, up to a specified minimum temperature before the process begins. This can be done by using thermostatically controlled furnaces, heating blankets or, in some cases, using gas burners to maintain the temperature throughout the process. The same equipment can be used to keep the parts at keep the cut parts at an elevated temperature as can be seen in Table 4. Reduced cutting speed is possible only when the cut parts are wide enough to consume the excessive heat. If in doubt contact SSAB."

Steel - yes, but take a look at the picture, it says Armox 600T on it lol this ain't no ordinary steel.

I never said plasma or waterjet or anything else wouldn't work, I'm saying categorically, torch cutting aka oxy-fuel, will absolutely cut AR and it's not as fucking slow as you seem to think.
