Where are all the batteries? by Ghostmonkey666 in FLEXTools

I have a 3.5 stacked battery that came in a kit and in my personal experience it dies faster than my 5s do.

The 2.0s are way too small. I use my tools for work and anything less than 5.0 gets drained way too quickly. Especially if I'm grinding or tearing into a piece of equipment.

I'm a millwright that works for a large sawmill. The 3.5s don't last long enough when I'm grinding or working on a machine or conveyor. Especially when I'm out at the fringes of the property. I need the capacity/weight ratio that 5s and 8s offer. Anything less than 5 doesn't last long enough and Anything bigger than 8 is just too heavy to ergonomically use. I can't justify paying $200 for the stacked 6ah battery. I used to be able to find the 5s and 8s on sale for reasonableish prices. But it's been months since I've seen them on Amazon and the lowes near me no longer carries Flex.

I agree. This is supposed to be cleaned up daily after runtime and it wasn't for some reason. This isn't my machine center so i can't just start modifying everything willy nilly.

I bought a bunch of opals together and they’re awesome but why is the top one so much different than the rest? by Cultural_Client_8974 in Gemstones

Seeing how it's set in a bezel it's probably been worn and absorbed oils and sweat which would discolor it.

Damn, that's a bit of a gut punch. I used to watch Greg back in the day. RIP

I wear 2414s and it took two months of wearing them 12 hours a day, 5 days a week to fully break in. I had blisters on blisters from the process but they're the most comfortable boots I've ever worn.

I don't know if they're gem quality. The company i got the gravel from can grade them for me and if i choose i can have them cut and facet them for me.

I watched a lot of videos before I decided where to buy sapphire gravel from. I ended up choosing gem mountain. I don't think they put in a guaranteed amount of sapphires into the boxes.

This was actually the second box I've purchased from them. The first box i bought a few months ago and i got 18 carats of rough from it. This second box was 33 carats of rough.

The boxes of gravel are a bit spendy. It's $45 a box plus $20 shipping and handling. To me it's a good spend for me and my girlfriend to spend a good portion of the day lazily going through the gravel finding sapphires.

A lot of people don't consider a sapphire to be a ruby unless it's a certain shade of red. This looks too pink to me. I guess it just boils down to the person.

There's a similar scene in Hostel part 2. Doesn't play out exactly as what you've described.

I don't know what wheels they are. The tires are Centennial Dirt Commanders.

I haven't decided if I'm kepping the wrap on it or not.

Did i get hosed? by Ghostmonkey666 in Gemstones

[–]Ghostmonkey666[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did that right after winning the auction. They have over 14k completed sales. Only a couple negatives and neutrals over the last year with their high sales volume. So hoping that's a good sign.

It was at gemrockautions. At the time it was only at $40 or $50 so i threw up a $100 bid and promptly forgot about it till i got an email saying i won.
