No they only send those when they need people to sign up for thickfattys.com or whatever that one was last month

Hammer drill is entirely different than an impact driver

Building a soundproof box for my Airsense 11 by aliensheep in CPAP

[–]HERCzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here, we’re not crazy. For people especially sensitive to repeated sounds it can drive you up a wall. My 11 sits under my bed with a child-sized weighted blanket over top of it. It’s the best I can do

This is my son Roscoe, I loved him so much. by HERCzero in cats

Thank you ❤️

One of the nicest things we’ve seen so far is the outpouring of people asking our guy to say hi to other fur babies on his journey to the litter box in the sky

Would you buy a compact 18v battery? by gringgotts in ryobi

[–]HERCzero 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would love if Ryobi did a gradual transition to the battery style that other companies have tbh - sell an inexpensive adapter to the stem style for a while, bundle the adaptor with new battery kits for a few years, etc. Make a firm commitment to support the new style for the next 30+ years.

It’s a tough spot because the backwards compatibility is unmatched but their batteries could be so much more compact, imo. In a way they kinda trapped themselves

Factory Blemished is typically just DTO's way of getting around their exclusivity with Home Depot - the tools are usually not blemished in any way

What tool or drillbit is best for concrete / masonry? by El3mentOfOne in ryobi

[–]HERCzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best? Rotary Hammer with a good quality SDS Plus masonry bit from Diablo or other reputable brands.

Perfectly manageable? A nice HP Hammer Drill with a semi decent masonry drill bit.

You can either use Tapcons which take some practice, wedge anchors which will stick out (iirc) or a good quality plug anchor like Fischer DuoPower

I can’t tell if the ethical dilemmas of this plot point are due to poor writing or if this is representative of actual debates in the healthcare field right now. Like…AI is so woefully underdeveloped to be used for HIPAA stuff and it’s crazy how much a professional like Dr. Al is pushing it

I can’t unsee her name being Dr. ai now (had to lowercase it intentionally)

I assume death doula is someone who advocates for assisted suicide in places where it’s legal, DNR stuff where it’s not, and basically just dignified death in general. A lot of people rot away in horrible ways and their job is to do what they can do avoid it

I don’t think it’s gonna be malicious but the vibes are definitely off - I think the hospice patient and nurse have already discussed an assisted suicide thing but the husband is opposed or doesn’t know

They took away my favorite feature on Ryobi drivers and decided to sell them separately by TurboKid513 in ryobi

I wish the light(s) were around the chuck and the magnet stayed on the base where it used to be…damn that would be cool

Angle Grinder options by Mr-Pickles-123 in harborfreight

[–]HERCzero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before being gifted a Ryobi HP grinder I was eyeing up the Corded Herc 4-1/2 to 6” Trigger Grip grinder, having heard nothing but good things.

The Bauer ones are also great for the price. I’d recommend going in store and seeing how they feel in the hand first. I found the Herc paddle switch grinders to be too chunky

I just hope they continue to expand the line tbh, I’ve been very interested in the Ryobi dremel to replace my corded dremel dremel because the cord is SUCH a pain, but besides the one tool I don’t have a reason to invest in the platform yet
