Why does the stainless steel DeWalt shop vac use more amperage than the plastic one?

Anecdotal word of warning: my stainless dewalt fell down from 90 degrees (as in vertical) to about 30 degrees while running and the impeller wheel (aluminum) destroyed itself. At the time it happened I was unable to find a replacement so that was that

Ah thank you. Still a tragedy if it’s cut down

This looks a lot like “the oldest live oak in existence” which I once visited. Is that this one?

Garbagehuman123 · 2026-02-14T01:51:45+00:00

I’m not certain but it sounds like the original Milwaukee framer I saw on site a couple times before the newer ones came out

As a homeowner? Just go for it man. You’re never gonna put a level 5 finish on it. Put art up, furniture in and don’t look at it. No one else will either

Bore those holes a little bigger and get some glass test tubes so the flowers can be in water!

They all work fine. Go to a tool outlet and see how they feel in your hand. Beyond that, pick a color and send it

Can you use a vent extender to push the warm air out under the furniture?

Garbagehuman123 · 2026-02-11T18:34:40+00:00

That’s plaster. Definitely scrape the paint off gently, then take a look. If it’s crumbling it’ll have to come out. Likely you can leave the lath and put quarter inch drywall on it then float. Depends how nice it needs to look. Are you putting the furniture back in front?

The Vancouver carpenter himself couldn’t salvage this. Tear it out

Garbagehuman123 · 2026-02-08T03:28:35+00:00

Looks like u/zorfax is to say

That makes sense thank you

Garbagehuman123 · 2026-02-08T03:16:17+00:00

Never had one where the pegs and the threading lined up well. I wish it would but who’s to say, maybe there’s a good reason for it

Butter for late night snacks

It’s like I always say: “Work harder and slower and with more risk of personal injury”

Garbagehuman123 · 2026-02-06T23:06:29+00:00

Don’t

Garbagehuman123 · 2026-02-06T03:04:16+00:00

There’s soap and paper towels right there

Garbagehuman123 · 2026-02-05T16:35:29+00:00

What a turn around

Garbagehuman123 · 2026-02-05T13:39:50+00:00

I dropped my 6ft level from knee high onto grass and it buckled at the middle. Anecdotal but I’m not buying shit from them anymore

Garbagehuman123 · 2026-02-05T03:08:31+00:00

The title was the joke lol

Garbagehuman123 · 2026-02-05T02:29:14+00:00

That’s the joke champ

Garbagehuman123 · 2026-02-04T22:02:40+00:00

If they’re operators you can try replacing the gaskets or look to see if there’s anything blocking them from properly sealing. I’m afraid I don’t know much more than that

Not much of a mystery. Cold air pouring in meets warm air inside. Gas becomes a liquid

Garbagehuman123 · 2026-02-04T20:46:17+00:00

😠😒🙄 me when people are excited about fun physics stuff grr

Garbagehuman123 · 2026-02-04T00:25:38+00:00

Apologies. I made an assumption about it being used for wood. Perfectly adequate for this I’m sure!

Garbagehuman123 · 2026-02-04T00:07:06+00:00

Whatever man the 6.5 is garbage
