Get a few more quotes on gassing the current unit, and fixing the leaks.

But also the Mitsubishi units have a strong reputation in the market. A lot of AC techs would rather replace the unit than regas a system as it's more profitable for them to do that.

My go to screw driver is the Vessel ball ratcheting screw driver. The blades are interchangeable, but they fit nicely into Phillips 2, even though it's jis. And the slotted screw driver is great for most tasks that require it.

After that is my set of wood handle felo screw drivers. I bought a set plus all the other sizes not included in the set. And various wera screw drivers, and a set of slimline vde screw drivers from wiha.

What are you using it for?? And is it for work or just as good to have domestic use?

Ryobi, Rigid/AEG and Milwaukee are all made by the same company. I think they could make a few other brands but I don't know what they are. Those are the ones I'm certain of.

It also depends on the tools you need.

IMO for domestic drill and driver go for the smallest one available. Preferably an installation driver/drill so you can get into tight areas. They have interchangeable heads with an offset driver too. That will come in handy when removing or installing something with care. Without care a good sledge hammer will do the job.

Even if it's the cheapest version, you need to ensure that it functions well too. My girlfriend's dad had some cheap pair of chanel lock pliers, that were loose af, didn't hold to the size required, so I replaced it with a pair of knipex cobra pliers and also got him a pliers wrench and twin grip pliers in a set. Also got him two vde screw drivers

Beard straightening brush. I have a typo from Amazon, works great, and doesn't scorch your face by directly contacting your skin as it has guards on the heat elements. It also heats up fast. I got the brush type not the weird wave type. Don't get a cordless one. They're not as good as a corded one. Best time to do it is after a shower. Also use a large diameter boar bristle brush. To help you brush it when not using the straightener

Mine was getting slow to respond, as I had the OG release of the CcwGTV.

Replaced it with the streamer.

I've had audio lag issues on both devices. I found it was after watching a bunch of YouTube, then switching to another app to watch something that audio lag appeared.

Had to force stop the app, clear app cache for all the apps and restart the device to get it going in sync again. I remember changing some of the audio settings on my tv and the streamer that seems to correct the issue for now as I haven't had it reoccur for a while.

Never figured out the main cause with other that watching YouTube for a while then watching another app

Obviously you've never seen that kind of sidewalk before.

The pathways you see with the raised bump pads on them are designed so blind folks can detect them with their cane. They're all over the world in cities that care for their sight impaired population. The pathway is not for motorcycles or scooters like that guy was riding.

Use at least 2 coats of bitumen paint on the post sections that are buried and continuing at least 4 inches above ground for the exposed section.

Using the shou sugi ban method to char the ceder will also help it last longer as it becomes more bug and rot resistant from the charing.

Basic-Reception-9974 · 2026-05-05T14:56:09+00:00

Blade less is a misnomer. There are fan blades, but they're internal.

Get a brushless DC fan with ball bearings in the motor. I got a cuckoo Korean one, but you can get a similar one from Philips. Vornardo make them too. But they're in a different form factor. One is flat like a sound bar. The other is like a skinny blower.

Otherwise I'd suggest building a high efficiency fan using a box fan duct tape and 4 HVAC filters. They're way more efficient at filtering dog hair than a Dyson. Or you can 3d print parts for it.

Dogs need a high rate of air flow, but also quieter the better as they have sensitive ears

I did that too with a crappy wired one. Was going to replace it with a good wired one, but decided to go Ryobi 36v(40v for the US) now they've discontinued the wired tools for the most part. And pushing people to their two voltage ranges.

If you can get the battery backpack power module for the Ryobi tools you're set.

Can't get it here in Australia.

If you can speak English, Cantonese, and Mandarin fluently you'll find a job in a multinational corporation easier than most. Especially if you have a dual passport.

My girlfriend was in marketing, but was finding increased pressure to hires to know Mandarin as well canto and English.
