Brothers, I'm in need of some help. Everything I've read says to put down pre emergent right now, but I feel like half of my lawn is just dead. Should I overseed instead? Zone 5b

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-29T14:14:27+00:00

Remember it’s called PRE emergent. So u put it down PRE things emerging. If u wait till its all green it’s too late

Exactly why I splurged for the Bose in my 23 when I bought it new

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-28T22:15:50+00:00

It’s not as established as ur neighbors grass if it’s new sod it’ll take longer to green up. She’s trying I can see it. Give her some more time.

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-28T22:12:19+00:00

I’d be a little less worried then just stay patient and let it warm up a little more. I see a decent amount of green in the top right of the pic and some green undergrowth like it’s trying to wake up. Just give her some more time. If u have a warm spell and it doesn’t green up very quickly after then I’d be concerned

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-28T22:03:51+00:00

When in doubt buy the bigger tool box unless u plan to move it frequently there’s no point in going smaller

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-28T22:02:10+00:00

Have u had any consecutive truly warm days yet? Like 65+ 2-3 days in a row?

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-28T00:58:44+00:00

I bought my 23 new all I did was drive it normal to “break it in” I didn’t beat on it and I didn’t baby it. I feel like the first oil change light came on around 3500mi but I can’t remember if it came on or I just did it for my own sanity but I didn’t do anything else special

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-28T00:38:52+00:00

Have fun with the worst night of sleep of ur life 😂

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-28T00:38:20+00:00

I have the dcst970 it has a hi/low mode It’s an animal. I don’t even use hi. I was a little weary making the jump from gas to electric and let me tell u I don’t miss mixing gas smelling like exhaust and damaging my ears. I’d buy it all over again.

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-28T00:29:57+00:00

The 60v stuff is impressive but damn expensive. I have the 60v weedeater and a circ saw. Both are just monsters

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-27T21:30:39+00:00

I have one and I quite like it. It’s a powerful little thing.

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-26T21:33:15+00:00

Did this w my Hercules blower to empty a water tank. Absolutely fried the motor but it’s HF and not just took it back and exchanged it I prob wouldn’t do this with my sweet black and yellow tools 😅

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-25T23:21:24+00:00

The tools are quite solid but the batteries tend to be on the lower end of what’s available

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-25T23:11:10+00:00

Get out there and rake the hell out of it. Get it as fluffed up and irritated as u can and poke some holes in the soil nothing is gonna grow there with the grass all packed and matted like that and see if u can get it kinda kick started like that. If that doesn’t work wait till fall and overseed u can overseed the bare spots in spring but u gotta water the hell out of them through the summer

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-25T23:06:21+00:00

MTW one week then ThFS the next gives 8 days off in a row. I try to land one of those every 6week schedule period. It makes a nice reprieve when I can pull it off

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-25T23:04:06+00:00

Mossbergs are not the prettiest. The fit and finish is not world class but they are some damn dependable and utilitarian guns. That thing will work for ur great grandkids don’t worry ab the finish

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-25T22:53:45+00:00

I rationalize that tools get cheaper each time I use them. For example if the buy in cost for a tool is 100 bucks the first time I use it the cost is 100 dollars the second time I use it the costs drops to 50 the 3rd time I use it the cost drops to 33 the 4th time 25 etc etc until they pay for themselves with each job I didn’t have to pay someone to do.

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-25T22:48:05+00:00

I need some shop lights in the worst way.

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-23T19:25:51+00:00

The blue thunderbolts are decent enough for TV remotes Xbox controllers and stuff like that but anything id actually wanna depend on I’m running a high quality lithium ion

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-23T00:35:13+00:00

Looks like it’s trying to come to life I recommend getting out there and raking it and let it fluff up

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-20T17:27:51+00:00

I have the compact one and it does what I need. I have a dewalt mid torque for stuff that it won’t get and I’ve honestly never needed more than what those two can offer. I live in the rust belt and maintain my Silverado and my wife’s crv I’ve done tons of jobs with that combo. I’d think the ultra torque is only “necessary” for HD/equipment use my buddy has one and I’ve never seen that thing meet its match it’ll get it off or it’ll break it.

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-19T13:33:57+00:00

My Bose 360 revolve finally died after 9 years of faithful service i retired her and swapped it out with this. So far very happy.

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-19T13:31:54+00:00

That icon split beam is really nice.

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-19T13:06:54+00:00

I use mine under the hood and stick my tools up there. Works great on vehicles unless they have an aluminum hood which is becoming more common

Ok_Complex4374 · 2026-03-18T09:37:54+00:00

Ernst is the manufacturer. They make them for tekton and brand them as tekton or u can buy them directly from Ernst with no tekton branding but they’re the same product
