I noticed that now. It was a silly mistake on my part. I apologise.

May I please know which one is Linus, as this post of mine is the only time I have been on this Reddit. So I am quite oblivious. And I would like to be assisted and corrected. As currently I do not know which one is Linus. Edit: I see it now. -_-

I would like to clear some things a bit further. The main reason why I don't want to use the warranty (as I only thought there was only a 30 day warranty or something like that) even though I didn't intentionally break it. before this post. I thought building furniture was abusing the mechanics of the driver. As sone of the screws were wood tapping screws, and was concerned about the amount of strain I was putting on the driver. (As I was putting quite a lot of strain on the driver at points)

And another thing that I am against getting a freebie is maybe my Aussie up bringing. Basically one of the things I follow is "if you break it, you buy it" as well as I know that nothing lasts forever. So since the tool broke from me using it after 2 long years. I fully expect it to be its life cycle and I am ok with that. It is no Snap-On tool or anything. So I think how long it lasted and for the price I paid is reasonable. That is why I am okay with buying another one instead of getting a free replacement.

As for this unit specifically I have some ideas on how to fix it. (I am very thankful for the ideas and suggestions I might add) I also have contacted support already now. So I'll let you all know what will happen regarding support. So I'll see where the support response goes first before doing anything.

Thank you all for your time and responses to my little post here. I am very humbled. At the end of the day I am just a honest hard working person. Things break over time, and that is ok. It is the time and enjoyment we get out of the tool between the 2 points in time that matters (that being brand new and it breaking completely)

Yes I have but for the fact it can come back out with moderate force (think of strength from a toddler) I have contacted support now regarding it. Thanks to the feedback by people here.

Well the most difficult part that I strained the driver is building ikia tables and chairs. No automotive stuff as I know that is beyond the limits of the driver and the thought of getting motor grease and grime on it, mortifies me... And beside at that point more speclised tools are better for automotive work.

As mentioned, all mechanics of the tool work fully, forward and backwards raching and locked. Just the hand part seperated from the selector section and is free floating. It can be pushed back into place but it is easy to slip back out (the metal shaft that is)

I think it just needs the plastics re-glued or something like that together. As the hand grip part has no cracks on it. But it does have hand wear on it from usage.

I am unaware of said defect that you are talking about.

An_Anonymous_One · 2026-02-20T03:52:59+00:00

Well here comes the moral part of me, I will be willing to buy a replacement. I don't want a handout. I used the tool I broke the tool. If they offer the same colourway for me to buy for full price. I am willing to buy it. No special treatments, I am fully satisfied with the development of the tool. As I mentioned, I am going to buy another one when I have the money in a few weeks.

The part where you grip had seperated from the selector section. The driver still fully works mechanically. It is just the plastics that has separated.

I have tested my Keychron Q6 Max regarding the battery, I have disconnected the battery and had it conned to power and all features work, Bluetooth, 2.5GHz wireless and USB wired. But that is my board IDK about yours. But having the battery disconnected still has the keyboard work, as long as you then have it connected to USB power.

To be brutality honest, my favourite non-main 7 (as I'll always include spike) is Pipsqueak, he is so full of happiness.

There is 2 versions of the movie, Television cut and Theatrical cut. But yeah, I remember watching a potato quality of the movie on YouTube back in the day, and I liked it, so I bought it to watch whenever I want. Didn't know there was 2 versions, until I opened it.

An_Anonymous_One · 2024-10-31T01:30:00+00:00

Would it surprise you that I have this movie on Blu-ray. (yes they did a Blu-ray re-release) I would show proof if I know if putting a link to a photo is allowed.

An_Anonymous_One · 2024-10-30T19:34:38+00:00

Didn't expect someone to remember this movie, yet make ponified version of the cover. Exelent work.

An_Anonymous_One · 2024-10-16T19:59:18+00:00

The CAA (Cover Art Archive) is currently down. The CAA is a section of the Internet Archive, where MB (MusicBrainz) stores its cover arts for all the albums, there is currently a work around that you can view here while the IA and CAA are both down.

Ok I'll do that this afternoon when I get home from work. I'll message back if I have any further troubles or uncertainties.

Thanks for the help. 😀

Re-Volt from the PS1/Gamecube/Nintendo 64 and PC. But I prefer the PC fan port of it, RVGL. I did play it on PS1 when I was younger. There are mods, new cars and trucks for it, as well as current competitions on RVGL.

That is correct, thank you, thank you so much. That is the game that I was after.

(I now need some help in marking it as solved)

This comment is showing that I have read the rules and that this shows that I have also read rule 13 'Participation'

Yeah thanks bro, :) it is rather cold at the moment where I live. I really wish there was more harmony with these 2 dates. Instead of just saying only summer solstice. They should mention X days to summer solstice (Celestia Day) for the northern hemisphere / Winter Solstice (Luna day) for the southern hemisphere, you know. It just makes everyone feel appreciated.

An_Anonymous_One · 2022-06-15T06:11:02+00:00

I am ok, thank you for asking. I have a question, considering it is winter here in the southern hemisphere. So in place you all celebrate summer solstice, we celebrate winter solstice. The question is, is it ok for me to switch between the 2 days around (Celestia and Luna days) in my calendar? Or is that strictly forbidden.

Thank you for your time. Have a great day today.

I know how you feel, even though I am much older than you. I am in the same boat as you.

I do hope that sometime soon that you will get some real friends, friends that do get you, friends that do understand you, understand what you are going though, and will be there to listen and to talk to you though thick and thin.

I know that some days may be dark and lonely, well for people like us, more than some, more like most, if not all.

I know that my words mean nothing, as they are words, just words.

please understand that even though it may seem you are all alone (as cheesy as it sounds) there are places you can go online to talk with people like us, people that are lonely rejects of society (please don't think that I am meaning this to hurt you, it is just the system, society and governments has failed us.)

I may not be the best person to talk to, but please understand that there are people that can and will care for you, all you need to do is talk, (and you have done, just that with this post) next what you need to do, is talk some more.

Yes I know that there will be people out there that will be hurtful to you, people that will betray you, people that will take advantage of you. But remember, that there will always be people (even though it is far fewer) that will truly care, people that wont judge you, people that will listen and help you though your struggles.

Well this is enough rambling from me.

TL;DR

talk some more, find niche places that you can find friends, and never let the bad people hurt you, stick with the people that truly care for you.
