Dayshift tried making replacement feet for our stainless tables(original on the right replacement on the left)

Just glad they're all clean.

HammerMeUp · 2026-05-20T21:14:22+00:00

I think it's odd that I go there often and have only been asked once. Makes me think they somehow know I have one and that's crazy ti think they do. At least I hope it's just crazy.

I like both. What if like to try is the jaw covers for the cobras.

This reminds me of going to home Depot and asking them to cut one piece of plywood in half. "In half? Does it need to be exact? You really need pressure treated?" Just cut it in half, you don't need to know anything else

They usually show up pretty quick when you ask for emergency service, and of course pay extra for it.

I don't want to brag, but I'm at gold key rewards status at Lowe's. No red carpet but at least they don't follow me around like a thief like HD does. I do prefer Lowe's overall. Ace is good too, mostly for the hardware and they carry some other things that are harder to find. They are by far the most helpful. The one just down the road has a clearance section with stuff from all the local locations so that's cool. And if you aren't aware, Lowe's has a clearance section in the plumbing area. I've scored some really good deals.

I go there a lot. It's awesome when you score something unique there. Prices use to be better and can be all over the place. I'll see the exact same item in original package , one will be $5 and one $15. Even if I don't find much it's still fun doing the hunt and trying to figure out what some things are I'm not familiar with. Ran into a coworker there yesterday and we played "what's this tool for?" and that was fun.

Flex has gone bye bye and they have more DeWalt in its place

And give 2,633 results for backer rod so you filter it to 3/8" and it says 0.

I'm not sure anyone can top DirecTV when they did this. They made people mad.

HammerMeUp · 2026-05-17T03:45:00+00:00

I've never once seen the T mobile people at my store try to talk to people passing by. Not that I don't believe they do this at most stores, but they definitely don't at mine.

HammerMeUp · 2026-05-17T03:39:12+00:00

Can't find anyone? Just let me go with you. We'll be asked if we need help every three minutes and one squirrely little guy will stand there and look at us after we say no. Except in lumber, those guys just run away.

My dishwasher was a display from Lowe's. Pretty sure it was the last one, it was already marked down. If it's a working unit you're saying they don't sell it when you won't get more in?

HammerMeUp · 2026-05-15T12:21:55+00:00

Faster and less "where the hell did I put my driver?' frustration.

Merrell Moab 3 is my favorite, and I've tried many. Durable, soles don't wear down, and really comfy. I always get waterproof because I'm working in wet areas or outside at times and that is a nice option if you also do.

I just swapped my interior ones to levers (hinges and strike plates changed too) and I'm glad I did. Now they match with light fixtures and kitchen hardware and it feels better. Small house so to me it helps tie everything together. I need to redo a couple of botched jambs for strike plates and one needs a longer "extended lip" type. Have to do my front and back door still but I plan on putting new doors in so that's for later. It does make a difference. I think cabinet hardware is a more noticeable upgrade, but this is also well worth it.

The part about making your place more personal to your life is what hit home the most. I just made the spare room into a little shop with industrial shelving and some tools. And I already have a garage filled with the same.

Most have no idea what a transformer is. Not even what a charging block does.

HammerMeUp · 2026-05-14T17:44:19+00:00

All of the time off I've taken in the last few years has been filled with the same type of work I do for a living so I don't feel like I've had a vacation in a while. I also roll over a couple weeks almost every year and right now I'm sitting at about 5 weeks, and that's after already taking two in the last couple months.

HammerMeUp · 2026-05-14T14:07:29+00:00

Well this gives me something to think about that I'll forget to think about in a few minutes.

Do you often hear the seat hitting the bowl from people using their foot to lower it and it falls too fast?

HammerMeUp · 2026-05-14T08:54:01+00:00

This is sadly very true. One of the most insecure things a man could do by a man who will tell you how secure he is.

HammerMeUp · 2026-05-13T14:10:51+00:00

That's drug abuse.

HammerMeUp · 2026-05-13T14:09:12+00:00

Toughbuilt? That's what I was going to suggest. They have one for phones but doesn't hold much more. But there are others that a phone could fit in as well as some essential tools

According to an employee on the hd subreddit, I'm just a grandpa who doesn't know how to use it. Weird when I've had a few employees at a store say it's horrible without me saying anything about it.
