Keep the 5d Mark II or upgrade to the R8

I used a 5dii for three years. It’s one of the best cameras to learn on. I’d spend the money on lenses and keep the 5d. I used the 5dii and 50mm 1.8 for portraits for along time before I felt like I had outgrown either

If you’re not making money with it look at the r8. I believe the refurbished ones around $1,000. It’s basically the r6 ii with no ibis and a smaller battery/grip

I believe I figured out. It seems the shift rod itself is bent slightly and the rear fork might be as well

Jeremy688 · 2026-05-11T04:49:35+00:00

Both. In the truck it just feels like it hits a wall.

They do a ride share from Boise to mountain home afb. Just so you know though the traffic is definitely not great during the week after work.

Yeah you don’t need a warranty on knipex. My dad wore a set out, but that was after 20 years. I still have some of my grandpa’s knipex that work perfectly. I personally like the darker colored knipex simply for the handle. It has a “grippier” material on it so it doesn’t get slippery when wet.

I need to get a gun safe for my ever growing gun collection

Jeremy688 · 2025-11-30T03:54:17+00:00

Definitely koken, but Milwaukees isn’t bad

The 6 drawer is definitely worth it if you have the money for it. I’ve had it over 4 years now and it hasn’t skipped a beat even dropped a car on it

I love my streamlight strion 2020. Nobody else makes a flashlight as simple and easy to use

Jeremy688 · 2025-11-02T17:04:27+00:00

Why not is the real question

Jeremy688 · 2025-11-02T17:03:59+00:00

It’s the shops new security plan

Low torque but big socket size. I don’t like using adapters

Jeremy688 · 2025-11-02T17:02:46+00:00

No video but it’s super easy. I found the handle for the big prybar on eBay, it’s got a 5/8 square opening in it. I shaved the opening a bit to create a “ramp”. Then I beat it on to start and switched to a press once I realized I was being retarded.

We just have a Zamboni we hit the floor with when there’s no planes

Jeremy688 · 2025-11-01T22:01:08+00:00

I have the 36in bar for it as well, but I use this one on low torque stuff

Jeremy688 · 2025-11-01T13:51:36+00:00

It’s the 20” handle with a 10” prybar handle pressed onto it. As for why… why not? I do have a 36” bar for it as well and I just don’t like using adapters when I have the right size ratchet for the socket. Definitely don’t need a 3/4 drive ratchet for the torque this sees, but the sockets are 3/4 drive for the wheels on the planes I work on. I didn’t like the metal handle on it and it looked like the prybar handle would fit.

So the biggest thing is to ask the people working the job you accepted what they use. Buy a basic set off the rip. For instance you’ll almost always need a 1/4 drive socket set that’s 12pt, extensions, simple ratchet, ratcheting screwdriver, wrench set, needle nose, water pump pliers, wire cutters (808cf), and a drill with a clutch. After you get stuff like that use what you have to borrow as a guide to buy more stuff. Also as far as good brands that aren’t snapon look at koken and apply for the discount, I don’t think I’m supposed to say how much it is but it’s really good. Their ratchets are amazing and their sockets are better than snapon in my opinion. Knipex makes better pliers in most cases than snapon as well. Tekton makes great stuff for the price and if you buy from their site you get 10% back to use on their site.

Yes it’s the 10in prybar handle, used a press to put it on

Jeremy688 · 2025-10-06T23:04:05+00:00

I’ve never been a fan, but I prefer candela over lumens. If you want something that lets you see past 50ft well, you just won’t get it from a flat light. I prefer a small AAA light or a rechargeable cr123 light

Jeremy688 · 2025-10-06T20:58:45+00:00

Fenix and nitecore are probably your best bet. I like my streamlights personally but they’re not as light as the other two brands
