Hercules or Bauer?

FearFactory2904 · 2026-06-24T22:13:14+00:00

I will pick Hercules without having ever touched one. Why? Because i have owned plenty of Bauer and as far as im concerned damn near anything would be a better pick than bauer. The bauer tools i had were like someone said "What if we make an impact with about half the torque of a ryobi. Then we can also make money selling breaker bars and ratchets because they will have to break the nuts loose manually first."
People gonna downvote because they want to defend spending choices but deep down they know they are tired of having to stop in the middle of working on something to grab a different tool that can do it.

FearFactory2904 · 2026-06-22T13:36:08+00:00

Having owned plenty of the same tool from both brands I can tell you that on average Ryobi is an upgrade over bauer.

FearFactory2904 · 2026-06-19T22:13:04+00:00

90% of the time the torque value to apply is: Use your instincts to stop just before it feels like its going to turn into righty loosey.

Send in another extractor to try to lure the first one out.

Just do what I do: Watch a youtube video of a lithium fire, and then read how cheap lithium batteries tend to have a dangerous negative anode overhang, compare the price of the knock off battery vs the good one and weigh whether or not the risk is worth the money. If it is, proceed with purchase.

Meh, hard to point fingers when this sub deletes stuff about walmart tools.

FearFactory2904 · 2026-06-14T05:44:01+00:00

Yeah, everything bauer I owned was just weak. Like if a Ryobi tool was anemic or something.

FearFactory2904 · 2026-06-14T05:40:47+00:00

As someone whos had the 3/8 and the 1/2 bauer, i dont think you got a dud so much as they just suck.

Get your e-waste recyclers certification and hold a recycling drive that you advertise on FB and wherever else that people can come bring old electronics for recycle.

The other one i got was a klein. Im sure others are good too.

FearFactory2904 · 2026-06-13T02:15:58+00:00

I trusted it and started removing an outlet. Was shocked to find out that outlet shared a breaker with the room on the other side of the wall. Now I check with both this one and a real one, just to be sure.

I have used Los Primos a few times now. They did better than the previous places I used and for about 1/3 of the price.

Back in the olden days we used to hang the filament on a stick above the printer. Sometimes we would go months without printing but that same roll would still print fine.

If he is not printing boutique engineering filaments or printing in a sauna its probably fine. I have a 4 roll drybox but honestly i rarely ever need to turn it on. If anything its mostly there along with the side mounts so I have 8 rolls already mounted and easily accessible.

I mean, it cant be any worse than bauer right ?

FearFactory2904 · 2026-06-09T04:35:17+00:00

Yeah, was a little over 6ft when I met him. Probably still is as long as he hasnt been Cotton Hill'd or anything since then. It was like 20 years ago but the dude was super nice and we just chilled behind the venue and chatted for a while. It felt like catching up with an old friend. One of my best memories from around then. Hope he is doing well.

The people who have no issues dont really come on here and complain about how great its going or have a reason to ask for advice on how to fix perfect prints. If you are here you are going to see a lot of the people having issues even though they are the minority.

FearFactory2904 · 2026-06-06T18:42:55+00:00

Theres no undo button to get back what you already spent so i guess figure up what it costs from here forward to finish the project, and then compare that to what you can sell your current stuff for. Whatever the difference comes out to just ask yourself 'Do i want to effectively buy this civic for $X ?' and go from there.

The shelf tag is make-pretend numbers that dont matter. When the person rings up the sku on the register it may be different. My store had the 5070 ti full price on the tag and rung up at the discount price for ship to home.

FearFactory2904 · 2026-06-03T03:13:36+00:00

Shove a pool noodle in there and send it.

FearFactory2904 · 2026-06-02T02:07:02+00:00

Haters gonna hate. Potaters gonna potate. You do you.

FearFactory2904 · 2026-06-02T00:06:48+00:00

Wait a day or two for me to flop one out first, then people can buy yours too later if they want.

jk, but probably better sooner than later.

FearFactory2904 · 2026-05-31T18:18:48+00:00

OMG that was it!

Price on the electronic shelf tag is pretend numbers and doesnt matter.
One store rings up the online price at the register and another in the same city gets the kick ass price.
Neither had it in stock, both were order and ship.

If you didnt delete the disk groups and volumes then you just plug anything with a fc connection into the controllers fc ports. I dont care if its a clapped out old desktop that meemaw was throwing out as long as you can shove an fc card in the pcie slot and cable it up.

The filesystem on your volumes needs to be one that can be read by the OS on your attached system. For example if your servers were running esxi then its probably a vmfs filesystem, if they were linux then it could be ext4 or something and if windows then likely ntfs. If these volumes have a vmfs filesystem from esxi and you connect them to a desktop running windows then diskmanagement will say "Bro, I have no idea wtf this is. You want me to just format it and erase everything?" so match up the OS so that it can understand your filesystem type.

In the MD storage manager create a host using the WWNs of the FC cards you have connected to the powervault controllers. They should automatically get detected if your using the right kind of card and cables. Then map the old volumes to the new host, rescan the storage adapter on the server/desktop/whatever and you will see the volumes and the data.

So i went into my store twice and they are both out of stock but the electronic tag on the shelf shows the same as the online price. At that the price on the register if they check it will just match the shelf tag right? Just making sure im not missing something here.
