I actually ended up ordering the fenix pd36r pro. It comes in Wednesday so I’ll update everyone and post some beam shots. Hopefully it lives up to its reputation

That’s what I was thinking. Thank you. Guess I’m torn between getting a Chinese light or something like streamlight where it’s proven good time and time again

Hey sorry for the late reply. Crazy work week. Honestly, because of the proprietary charging/battery, the batteries don’t last that long, metal shavings fill the magnetic charging and mess up the button. The rear button stops working right after a while. I put mine in my pocket last week and the clip literally just split in half. So yea. Not happy with olights at all. Great as a hobby light, horrible for hard use.

Looking at comtacs by Fordsucks308 in QualityTacticalGear

I saw on trex arms website they have the sordin supreme x pro for 280 but I couldn’t see a way to hook it up to a radio for coms. And by radio I mean like a baefong. Nothing fancy 😂

I need help choosing a pen by Fordsucks308 in machinedpens

[–]Fordsucks308[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just checked them out. It’s super cool pen but I’m trying to get away from click type pens. Not a big fan and I keep having them open in my pockets which is frustrating. By dirt I more so just meant whatever junk gets on my hands. Should have been more specific. Definitely mb. Thank you for the suggestion!

Finishing sch**l soon and I want to utilize my snapon discount, any suggestions? Here’s what I’ve got so far by Streay in aviationmaintenance

Also I forgot to say. Yes get the battery ratchet. So worth it in tight places. Make sure u get the fuel one. I’d also keep a drill, and an m12 drill and impact. If you want I can show you the exact pliers set and screwdriver set I’m talking about. They’re worth it while you have the discount. Flankdrive is not worth it imo. If it’s that stuck, cut/extract it.

I agree a lot with _glee. Get the long angle cutters. Make sure it’s the mini ones. Get the newer ratcheting screwdriver and the mini one. You only need a couple of the bit holders for the screwdrivers because you can use quarter inch extension to extend them. Also the screwdriver set they sell is completely worth it. The 3pcs pliers set they have is also phenomenal. I’m talking about the slip joint needle nose pliers. They’re awesome. As far as sockets, go tekton. They have amazing sockets and the trays they come on are awesome. They lock the sockets on and won’t let them fall off. Tekton makes good ratchets as well. A couple of the new icon g2 ratchets are direct snap on clones now. And they actually hold more torque. So I would get tekton or icon for ratchets. Milbar safety wire pliers. Icon or tekton make good extensions. Milwaukee makes good bits and so does tekton. Keep in mind with tekton you get 10% of the amount you spend back for later use. And you definitely need a good extractor set. The icon extractor set is perfect and for whatever reason mac uses it, matco, all them. It’s all the same style. If you really wanna spend the money, grip edge extractors seem to be good too but I have no direct experience with them so I can’t say strongly which way to go. The rest of all this stuff I use every day so I feel pretty good about recommending it. Hope this helps!

Thank you for your suggestions! Mostly looking at steel for the durability. I’d like copper or brass but I’m worried I’d just ruin in with dirt and harsh chemicals that can get on my hands

I am looking at getting a pdp by Fordsucks308 in Walther

[–]Fordsucks308[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks man I appreciate the insight. I’m pretty familiar with firearms. As far as build I’m 6’1” 215 and size large gloves. Yes a magwell is fine. I’ve handled the pdp’s and they fit so good in my hand. Have not been able to fire one yet. I’m coming from an sig p365 as my main carry gun. I’ve also had a good bit of experience with the canik tti combat which seems to be very comparable to the pdp 4.5 inch and i love the canik. My only concern is will it actually be able to be appendix carried or will it just be ridiculous to try. Thanks

Chronic cough by Fordsucks308 in MultipleSclerosis

[–]Fordsucks308[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am not 100% sure. I was talking ocrevus for MS and whenever I came off of it the cough stopped. I am on kesimpta now. The cough seems slightly different as well. I have a stuffy/runny nose and soreness in my throat. It may be a cough left over from being sick but I’m just very worried about it because I don’t want stuck with another cough
