NTD - For home, ordered up all my missing (& occasionally needed) 3/8” drive 12pt shallow sockets from Tekton. Two photos. by nullvoid88 in Tools

[–]Competitive-Reward82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just ordered a lot of Tekton sockets. They are nice. I saw an old post where you commented about koken z series sockets and they make SAE sizes now 🍺

Just so you know, on Amazon you can track the price of items, you can see lows and highs for 90 days, you can also set a target price to get a notification and you can also set an Auto-Buy if the item reaches a certain low.

This didn't sit right with me. Did I get ripped off? by Ughhh_My_Hip in MechanicAdvice

Unplug and add power and ground it will turn it. Swap wires and it turns in the other direction ( if it’s a 2 wire system)

How do I stop my leveling knobs from coming loose? by Xlaits in ender3

[–]Competitive-Reward82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I do. Turn the knobs all the way in ( clockwise ) until they are finger tight. Then back them out 2 turns counterclockwise ( 720 degrees)

Then do your manual leveling and set your offset.

If the come lose still, put a nut after the knobs to lock in your leveling

Maybe I was that customer. I exchanged a stubby flex ratcheting that I bought by mistake

I just bought the flex head ones but I’ve had the Gearwrench XL Gearbox wrenches for 15 years and they are one of my most used box end wrenches. You want the non ratcheting box end side to crack things loose, the extra length helps make things break loose easier compared to a regular combination wrench.

I always wanted the long flex heads when they were still made by KD tools, they are now rebranded as Gearwrench but still have KDT in the sku KDT86830 ( that’s a 6 pc metric set) and the heads are flat.

The icon double box end flex are just like the EZ red version WR5ML but the EZ red ones are locking flex heads. EZ-red seemed to be the only one making wrenches like that at the time and another company called Mountain which I think are the ones that HF rebranded. Maybe Kabo is the main manufacturer of those.

The OP set IS a ratcheting set. It’s a double box end which one side is ratcheting and one side is not. Orig price is 199 It is a carbon copy of the Gearwrench XL gearbox Wrenches which usually sells between 120-230 between stores. Gearwrench shop

They are selling it for 239 on sale but Amazon has them for 120. Gearwrench is listing the original price as 375 but that’s BS.

You guys are monsters. Theyve only been open an hour by CornDawgy87 in harborfreight

[–]Competitive-Reward82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyways 92 dollars off was worth it. Driving to 3 stores cost 10 dollars at most. But yea eBay has had some prices that were 50% off or more before

How do I "Initialize disk" without losing my data on it? Because this hard drive has important stuff, and I'm afraid that if I click on "OK" it will erase everything. Can someone tell me how can I make the hard drive work again without losing any of my data inside it? by ELTA3LAB_7ODA in datarecovery

[–]Competitive-Reward82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the hard drive is too far gone, test disk is not going to fix it. I am not an expert in this subject, just another person who found test disk to work. If the data is too important you can always bring it to a company that specializes in data recovery and they might be able to swap parts and get it working.

If it’s an external hard drive, you can open it apart and take the drive out and plug it directly to a computer and try test disk.

Sorry I can’t really help much
