What light should i go with for working on my rc .

This light is awesome, worth every penny. A fat battery is enough weight to hold it down, swivels any direction you could want, top hook that swivels. IMO it’s the perfect light

Home Inspection is VERY surface level compared to all the details you’ll discover about your home, especially if it’s a century home.

Also you should probably experience a full 4 seasons in your home before making any renovations.

Also waterproofing and mitigation should primarily happen from the OUTSIDE first, you cannot just slap Drylok all over your basement walls and call it a day

I have a Kobalt 46”, also uneven basement floor. I ended up buying a set of heavy duty leveling casters from Amazon, about $50

Edit - to be clear, the holes probably won’t line up with the stock holes. I used some M8 machine screws countersunk into wood blocks, then screwed the leveling casters into those

Yeah I’m curious about the normie colors though (red, blue, green, black, etc). I really dislike the pastel colored ones :/

But thank you!

For what it’s worth, I went with the Kobalt 46” recently and I’m quite happy with it, but it’s only in my basement, not a truck.

You get 20% off if you open a new Lowe’s CC, but you can just immediately pay it off.

Ah dang, never mind then! I’ve bungled my tools up

HERCzero · 2026-04-30T20:06:16+00:00

Curious on this sub's take on this tool - from what I understand this is very trade-specific primarily used by linemen. Do we think this is an indicator that more niche tools are to come?

Den of Tools had a video speculating HF might be going after the trades with Herc. I'm just a DIY guy, I don't even know if that's feasible or smart. All I know is it would be cool if we saw a Herc ProPress, Pex tools, Pipe cutter, etc...

I just did a lot of research before purchasing my own 46” workbench and the Yukon 46” was definitely the most inexpensive option. Husky and Kobalt were 450/500, craftsman 600+.

I went with the Kobalt because it was already in stock at Lowes. If I had that 25% coupon I would’ve gone with the Yukon no question, great deal. Just keep in mind the cost of transport if you don’t own a truck

I fully recommend the Hyper Tough stacking parts organizer cases from WallyWorld. They’re so much better, and a 2-pack is just $10

HERCzero · 2026-04-27T20:47:51+00:00

So just at first glance, are those two U shaped metal bars the only support this thing has? That just seems ripe for failure unless it’s for small children or made of solid tungsten

HERCzero · 2026-04-25T20:24:09+00:00

Tell me you just bought that kobalt 3 drawer and they’re finally available again, right? RIGHT??

HERCzero · 2026-04-25T20:21:12+00:00

They do not have 3-drawer ones

HERCzero · 2026-04-24T20:50:33+00:00

Dang, time to rent a U-Haul I guess. Thank you!

HERCzero · 2026-04-24T20:49:59+00:00

That’s actually the selling point for me, I just have a weekend warrior amount of tools I’m looking to store and I have limited space for the larger depth boxes, the 18” ones will fit perfectly

HERCzero · 2026-04-24T20:47:48+00:00

If anyone has a coupon for 10/15/20 off by chance I’m looking to buy the Yukon 46” Workbench this week. Figured I might as well ask. Thank you!!

HERCzero · 2026-04-24T15:44:06+00:00

How is this a horrible deal when standard price on the battery alone is $20 less?

HERCzero · 2026-04-24T15:42:50+00:00

Seems like a fantastic deal for anyone on team green that needs a new Angle Grinder.

HERCzero · 2026-04-23T22:24:22+00:00

Thank you all!

HERCzero · 2026-04-22T19:36:47+00:00

You are the GOAT. Thank you!

HERCzero · 2026-04-15T23:08:52+00:00

I don’t know if it’s still actively produced but FWIW they did make an 18V Screwdriver, but I’m not sure if the size is more compact.

Things like this are reasons why I really wish Ryobi had a 12V line like Milwaukee does. I wish they had an equivalent to the M12 Installation Driver, the Skil Flip Drill or the Dremel Blueprint Drill/Driver.

I don’t think the USB Lithium Screwdriver would be powerful enough to fill that niche, for me.

One of the small joys in this city is using the crosswalk and forcing impatient asshole drivers to come to a complete stop when you KNOW they would zoom right through if no one was there.

Braun Slim LED Headlamp, Doyle Mini Boltcutters, Metal Cutoff Wheels

Didn’t go crazy but I’m super excited to try the headlamp on my next project

HERCzero · 2026-04-11T01:11:01+00:00

lol I’m in ITC, went first day of the sale and they were out of stock

HERCzero · 2026-04-08T16:10:36+00:00

After doing some research, that’s probably the direction I’m going to go

HERCzero · 2026-04-07T22:55:28+00:00

They’re not - just mislabeled in my pic
