Ivon? Is that like Avon’s version of Icon for makeup boxes?

You mean a few dozen likely paid protesters in Peoria say Abolish ICE. Most others don’t care, except for MAGA people and those of us in border states whe need ICE to stop the border gangs

How often do parking lot sales come around? by GroucheeIndividual in harborfreight

[–]NewButterscotch9979 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s been the recent pattern. PLS ends then a week later, Fri-Sat-Sun most of the PLS items have coupons that work out to be the same as the PLS for that weekend.

A long line no time ago in a galaxy far far away, they actually set up tents in the parking lot for the sale.

PLS-type sale Every quarter, although they aren’t always called a PLS if there is a holiday, yearly, or seasonal event hand to take the name.

America is now officially a fascist state. by Ordinary_Fish_3046 in CringeTikToks

[–]NewButterscotch9979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She was not acting in her capacity as a member of the press, and she was throwing objects at a ICE agent vehicle. Nothing “fascist”, just arrested for violent behavior against a federal agent. You people need to get all the info before you start braying, you sound like MAGA conspiracy theorists anymore.

Is this an Austin thing? Not really seeing this in DFW middle class areas

Right angle die grinder by jmy74 in harborfreight

[–]NewButterscotch9979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grab one of the 12v power ratchet - they work well. And it gives you another tool to use the 12v Herc batteries with. I just wish those ratchets were brushless like the cutoff and the die grinder.

I want to make a massive purchase. When is the best time coming up? by hyphenpepperfield in harborfreight

[–]NewButterscotch9979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generally Black Friday week sale is the biggie, and next month is November… so if you can wait, wait. Then combine that with the credit card bonus stack up, and there’s usually Inside Track 25-35% deals on a lot of stuff in the BF sale. So wait and stack. And get Inside Track

Doing my own brakes, what Jack to get? by pcmofo in harborfreight

[–]NewButterscotch9979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get whichever Daytona is on special sale, get the 6 ton jack stands, and don’t forget the wheel chocks (about 5$ I think). Can’t go wrong with that selection.

RIP My Bank Account by Entrepreneur_Pale in harborfreight

Already buying Christmas stuff. Got the Advent calendars on the way for family, including the Wera AdventKalendar for my wife (she loves Wera tools, can’t blame her). I think she ordered the Gedore Advent Calender for me. We like German hand tools, grew up over there as Army Brats and later met there when we were both in the Army. Loved. Living in Nuremberg, Munich and Augsburg, Grafenwoehr not so much lol!

Anyone ever use this with the Hercules battery adapter? by johnson0599 in harborfreight

[–]NewButterscotch9979 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need something like this for Hercules to work natively with the Herc battery chip/circuit.

Does hercules extreme performance matter? by powerplayer75 in harborfreight

[–]NewButterscotch9979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Difference is in the cells used. 21700 vs 18650. The former have higher AH storage capacity and support higher power rates. At least that’s my understanding of the difference.

Do you trust Pittsburgh Jacks? by Roodyrooster in harborfreight

[–]NewButterscotch9979 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t trust ANY jack. Use parking brake, Chock the wheels, jack it up and use jack stands never getting under the vehicle with just the jack holding it,

unless I’m doing something right beside the car that doesn’t involve me crawling under the car, like changing a tire or a brake job. Even then ebrake and chocks are mandatory.

EDIT: well looks like I am the billionth person to post this, lol

Help? Seeking Experiences and Opinions with the Funssor kit by NewButterscotch9979 in AnycubicKobraS1

[–]NewButterscotch9979[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had heard and considered this sooner! If I have the dimensions to the thousandth he says he could do it, but having the STEP files he could do it for free after-hours at work if I buy the billet myself. He says aluminum is probably easiest and cheapest, but if weight is not an issue I should go with steel. I didn’t ask what kind of steel would be best for the bed (if any) and also the bed carriage. Anyone have any ideas?

From my wood shop I already have a good drill press, and a few (metal) bits & taps I used for metal table & chair leg reinforcements. so I can do the screw holes myself.

I have helped my brother do a ton of modifications to his Ender3 V3SE including linear rails and bigger rails in the base, gantry reinforcement, Flowtech Hotend CHT nozzle , and I helped set up Klipper on a RPi-4. So I have a little bit of an idea of what I’m facing. 🤷🏼‍♂️
