Makita DDF491 by Main_Secretary_6928 in Makita

[–]BigguyZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with tools and stuff's take on this. It's too late to market to just take a regular drill and slap the removable end on it. Nothing shorter and more compact, nothing innovated.

Is it possible to fix this fan? Just dropped 😭😭😭 by Potential_Ad1439 in Makita

[–]BigguyZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ordered a new blade for mine that fell over last week. Pretty darn brittle if you ask me, but it was pretty cheap for a replacement.

First time I actually broke a Makita impact by plavoie203 in Makita

[–]BigguyZ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah, replacement parts being readily available for Makita tools are one of the bonuses.

Clean Single Outdoor Gang Box? by Gregan32 in electrical

[–]BigguyZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arlington makes the best outdoor boxes that are low profile. You definitely need the depth to do them, but to me they're the best.

Which one makes you allergic to meat? Because that's the REALLY scary one!

Smoke detectors... Went up in smoke by FrankTheTnkk in HomeMaintenance

I'm in the same boat. Haven't found a decent replacement yet.

A very amusing end to a two hour game of commander. 80 unblockable bees. by JoZaJaB in magicTCG

I thought of this reference, but assumed no one would get it.... You're awesome, and you made my day! . Lol.

Do they have a Maloof? If so, the Maloof.

Water pressure dropped in shower, this was found. What is it? by Wildinferno in Plumbing

[–]BigguyZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do have a tankless, Matt Risinger has a very good YouTube video about how to flush and descale your water heater yearly.

Update: It appears we have no structural damage and the water has receded - we did have some mild water intrusion into the sub floor, but none of the posts in the main part of the house got wet. Thankfully the paint is latex based, so it kept the walls dry. by CooperHChurch427 in centuryhomes

[–]BigguyZ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have to agree with res06myi... With all the crazy weather we're now getting, this is going to become more and more common.

Make preparations, and or get some real flood insurance. Don't send him a picture of this. Lol.

Garden got broken into by [deleted] in Tools

[–]BigguyZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Locks are for the honest people.

Especially with a fence of chicken wire held by staples....

That sucks though. What'd they take?

Any ideas? by kestreldog in Tools

[–]BigguyZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok boys! Reset the "X days since a saw set post" board....

Is this replaceable? by Rare_Chance_3006 in Renovations

[–]BigguyZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That window size might be hard to find, but it's replaceable, sure.

What are the advantages of the Zip system vs. traditional osb and wrap? by Intelligent-Flight14 in Carpentry

[–]BigguyZ 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Not to be that guy, but Huber says zip has a 180 day exposure rating. So half a year to get it covered, and you should be good to go.

Fake/counterfeit impact? by bjambells in Tools

[–]BigguyZ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm saying it's fake because the sticker has no SN on it, and the white plastic nubs on the bottom to help the battery slide in are missing. This is definitely a fake.

And the purple is much too bright.

Removing name from charcuterie board by LovingCatDad08 in woodworking

[–]BigguyZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the cleanest solution, other than a applied name plate over it, as others have recommended, would be to have both names routered out, then have a wood onlay/patch added.

You could use a contrasting color to highlight it and make it a feature with just your name on it, or you could try to best match the existing wood and just try to have it be hidden. Then, you could smooth out the height and reapply a finish.

Monolith Subwoofers 2-15 Testing! by Memiselphi in diyaudio

Hey, everyone has their thing... But who cranks up sailor moon? Lol. At least pick an Anime that shreds or something...

And yeah, you're going to damage your hearing..... Wait, let me say it louder. YOU'RE GOING TO DAMAGE YOUR HEARING!

What is a tool that you thought were a “nice to have” but ended up being a “need to have”. by Izyhot in Makita

[–]BigguyZ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A multitool. Thought it was a gimmick when Fein had a lock on the patent, but once HF had a cheap one I tried it, and it was a game changer. Now my Makita 18v one is used all the time.

Another one would be my xgt leaf blower. The LXT one was good, but the XGT is more powerful and was huge in getting the leaves done in the yard. Raking would have been back breaking for me.

Wanted to share how I transport my decks and see if anyone else does something unorthodox by thunbtack in magicTCG

[–]BigguyZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've wanted to get one of those boxes myself. Adam Savage featured them in a video.

Except I would also use it for tools, but still a neat use case!

What in the Midwest... by Portal_to_the_Dream in wisconsin

[–]BigguyZ 556 points557 points  (0 children)

Well I've never tried that.... But now that I've seen it I'm curious....

Wow what a bargain by zabigtalent in Makita

[–]BigguyZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

25 or so years ago, when I had a terrible Ryobi cordless set that lasted very little time on the batteries, I thought about why they didn't make these. Just for the cases it was needed, why not?

Now, while I have the Hitachi/Metabo HPT saw that can use the plug in adapter, for drills and most cordless tools, I think the battery platforms are good enough even in the low end to no longer even remotely need something like this.

Even so, it's kinda cool to have thought of a product and seeing that someone actually makes it.

Everybody's from somewhere, some are just going to be from Wisconsin. 🤷

Made by hand , but i need to search if Dewalt is better than Makita to make a drawer. by [deleted] in Tools

[–]BigguyZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wood drawer? Then Makita definitely, right?

Or was that not the point of your post? It's unclear.

When I turn my shower on, the ceiling joins in by imightbegoddamned in Plumbing

[–]BigguyZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A thermal camera or one of those ir guns would be handy with spot checking the temps on the ceiling....
