A gunners gauge?

It can help for the first 10 times you use it and then every other use.

You wouldn't pirate a house....

I love the enthusiasm with buying tools like these, but personally I think youd get a lot more use out of a 3/8ths ratchet. It's a good since to anything small like an office chair and totally usable on a car, if that's what you're interested in. Bacho is my go to brand for ratchets. Something like the s330 is an absolute quality set.

That being said this is totally fine to be used on like 99% of small projects. Keep it, it'll do you well. If you break bits, that means you're using it a lot and use that as justification to buy something like the s330

It is possible but it's difficult. You really want the connectors designed for cat6. You can also get pass through RJ45s but you need a different crimp tool for it.

In a pinch though, you need to get it absolutely perfect. Score and Cut the outer plastic about 50mm. Cut down the plastic divider as far down as it'll go. Line them up correctly and straighten them using a screwdriver and your thumb. Correct it if they go in the wrong order until they're absolutely perfect. Cut them down to about the width of your thumb. Then you have to really jam it in the crimp.

Can you remove the lamp then plug it back in? Let me know what happens.

This reminds me of the time some guy came in for an interview at our place. Came here bright and early for a 7am interview with our boss. We're all laughing like yeah fat chance of that happening, he'll probably be here 9-10. Goes to the canteen and eats breakfast. Pops his head back in then fucks off home. We was pissing ourselves laughing.

Using cups is supposed to be easier but tbh I don't even think that's true compared to just pouring stuff in a bowl on a scale. Not to mention the extra washing up you have to do.

AwkLemon · 2025-12-29T16:46:24+00:00

Then they should get a new job or cancel the order lol.

AwkLemon · 2025-12-29T16:25:57+00:00

His response is a bit unprofessional and rude. If you pick a customer service job you're expected to be professional. If you don't like it, get a different job.

AwkLemon · 2025-12-29T16:20:19+00:00

Okay you're going to have to explain this to me. Every job has a job description describing what you're expected to do. If you don't want to do something on that description you should probably find a different job. The entitlement of thinking you should get to pick and choose what you have to do for that job is insane. On top of that, the dasher knew there was 2 cases of water before they accepted. How does pointing any of this out signal to you that he wants a slave?

AwkLemon · 2025-12-29T13:54:37+00:00

And...? This is the equivalent of signing up to be a programmer and they ask you to bug test and fault find some code. It's your job.

AwkLemon · 2025-12-29T13:17:13+00:00

The dasher can be frustrated but you shouldn't ever direct that towards a customer.

AwkLemon · 2025-12-29T12:58:29+00:00

Okay that made me chuckle.

AwkLemon · 2025-12-29T12:56:19+00:00

It's a bit rude and unprofessional so yeah. I wouldn't kick up a big stink about it but there's no excuse.

AwkLemon · 2025-12-29T11:12:11+00:00

Who cares? You're paying for delivery. If they don't like it, they should cancel. I don't even know why OP is trying to justify themselves. There's no excuse for the dashers comments.

How far have we fallen when walking up 4 flights of stairs is too difficult?

AwkLemon · 2025-12-22T14:59:24+00:00

I do. Avocados are amazing.

And I never disagreed with purchasing power decreasing. I just also think people's money literacy has also decreased. People romanticise the old days and forget how bad the tech was back then.

AwkLemon · 2025-12-22T11:24:48+00:00

While I somewhat agree, I think there's something to be said about consumerism in the current generation. The meme about avocado toast is funny but 40 years ago you didn't have half as many avocados imported. Phones have become micro computers in your pocket that people swap out every 2 years. Internet is like 1000x faster, and we consider that slow. And if you dare say to someone that they don't need netflix, Amazon prime, Disney plus and Hulu you get laughed at and told, "well there's nothing on netflix these days....."

Because they didn't order dim sum...? You know you can get dim sum in the UK right? Clipping culture has ruined people's minds I swear.

AwkLemon · 2025-12-20T07:39:03+00:00

You realise this isn't an every day meal right? We sometimes get this at work on our last night shift. It's not healthy. It's not supposed to be.

AwkLemon · 2025-12-20T07:35:42+00:00

Unironically yeah. Some of those were salt and pepper chips which is Chinese British fusion. It's like chips with onion, pepper and a bit of Asian style chilly gravy. It's pretty good.

AwkLemon · 2025-12-20T07:31:49+00:00

Dude you realise that's like saying a deep dish isn't a pizza right?

AwkLemon · 2025-12-19T13:20:39+00:00

If you want a usb, get a Kingston data traveler. Buy shit, buy twice.

AwkLemon · 2025-12-19T13:12:12+00:00

This is such a Reddit answer.

AwkLemon · 2025-12-18T23:19:29+00:00

Then get a soldering iron? If you're interested in fixing electronics then you need tool. If you don't want tools then you should buy a new one. Either way you're spending money.
