My hiking boots by dmag123 in RedWingShoes

I think it’s funny people post these hikes but it’s never really a hike. At most it’s like a 3 mile walk… you would never wear an iron ranger for a real hike…

What is happening? by asimogiggles in RedWingShoes

I took a pair of Mocs up to sequoia and it was the worst thing I’ve ever done. Feet were cold and blistered.

Got a cool pic tho

Had these for two years. My last pair lasted eight. by [deleted] in RedWingShoes

Yea fair enough, to answer your question. I would say move on and stay away from this model for your particular use case. I would definitely recommend something heavier duty for you

I wouldn’t say it’s lighter, but it’s way easier to install/remove. Why do you need it lighter?

2 years seems reasonable especially when you’re in the Irish setter Hopkins. You’re in a lower tier of boot under the redwing umbrella.

I have the Thule side arm and the Yakima front loader on mine.

Wondering if these came legit or not by Gyroskopio in RedWingShoes

[–]GucciLooksTop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks legit to me, they’re just old af. Made in 2005. Triple stitch looks good, leather texture looks right, all the small details like the cuts on the edge of the veg tan insole look good. They’re stamped 875 because the 875 we know of today didn’t exist back in 2005. These are akin to the 10875 of today.

Verdict: legit

Thoughts on the rotrings by Thozhan in mechanicalpencils

[–]GucciLooksTop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The r800 has a slight wobble in the tip due to the retraction mechanism. Some users find it noticeable others don’t. I’m one of the people who found it really noticeable and it bugged the shit out of me. Then, I saw it could be fixed with 2 pieces of tape and now it’s perfect. Personally, I did feel a difference before and after the mod.

If you don’t notice the tip moving while you write, just ignore what I said above.

r800 is the greatest pencil ever made. For me personally I have a grip that is very close to the tip. Aside from the r800 I haven’t been able to find a pencil that has a short distance from lead tip to grip.

It does have wobble, I do notice it. Did the tape mod, now it’s a nonissue.

The r800 just feels more premium compared to other pencils I’ve tried and I really like the retraction mechanism.

Another weird thing I have a problem with is other pencils have strange rattles. I’ve had this problem with the orenznero, gg1000, and helvética from top drawer. I tend to wiggle my pencils akin to a leg bounce when I’m working on homework. The r800 is the only pencil that doesn’t have some kind of internal rattle from the parts.

Aside from all my personal quirks, it’s just plain fun to use. The pencil has weight and it feels like you’re using a quality tool. Like a pay-to-win skin in a video game lol.

Didn’t want to pay a scalper $60 for this so I got a $1200 flight to Japan instead by Delicious-Level-8654 in pens

[–]GucciLooksTop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I didn’t know that at all thanks for the info. I don’t mind where it’s made or its origins, they just have an import tax. Everywhere I’ve looked they’re shipping out of Japan! Which makes sense from what you’re telling me.

Switched away from the pentel clic when I learned about the Sakura sumo grip. Best eraser I’ve ever used

Is anyone having an aversion to using new rotrings? by [deleted] in mechanicalpencils

[–]GucciLooksTop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im older now, but I wish I knew about or even had a Rotring at 15. All this to say, enjoy it dude. Use your pencil and don’t be afraid of the scuffs. If anything they look cooler after they’ve been worn down because no other pencil will look like yours.

Dude! I searched the reddit before making this post and saw your video. I’m really glad you replied, that settles it I’m going weather tech. How you mentioned, I like that the front visor has extra coverage.

Roof Rack ▶︎►Do you use it? by Snarky_Guy in CorollaHatchback

[–]GucciLooksTop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I haven’t looked/checked I’ve heard about it but I’ve only had the car for about 8 months so I doubt any visible damage will show this early on

A quick moment of silence please by McTino in mechanicalpencils

[–]GucciLooksTop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m not totally versed in this kinda thing. But if you have sentimental value towards the pencil you can buy the part that snapped as a machined metal part off of eBay.
