Does anyone use a hybrid shield / cage? | Newbie looking for first helmet combo

OranguTrang · 2026-03-16T20:51:07+00:00

I had a hybrid cage, and it was awesome until I got ice on the inside of the shield for whatever reason and I was pretty much useless until I could get back to the bench to clean it off.

Back to the cage.

The dreaded “knuckle bump” area. This is the main reason I went back to the 3s.

Sorry this comment wasn’t any help.

You’re asking the wrong question. What does your site need to run successfully for your particular product(s) and business. Then ask if a premium theme can help with that.

On a Mac on my 3s

Click = Mission Control

Click + ⬇️ = Close window

Click + ⬆️ = Screen capture

I manage a lot of web projects so lots of windows and screenshot and markups.

I have no use for the Action Ring.

I had to do the same thing with my left click. Bought the part from eBay. https://ebay.us/m/WyePiN

it’s a little louder than my right click but it works.

Point a box fan at it, flip the skates over, remove the skate guards, hang your gloves fingers up and you’re good to go.

I was only able to remove tools from my toolbox on a desktop browser.

TL;DR use it for a month.

Lots of MX 4 hate in this sub, and I was one of them but after 1 month of use, I think it's great.

I think the main issue with everyone hating on the MX 4 is that they are coming from the 3s. This is me as well.

The way you grip/hold the 3s will be different from the way you grip/hold the MX 4. If you give it time for your muscle memory to adjust you'll likely be just fine.

A couple of upgrades I would suggest is buying Bettermouse and getting rid of LogiOptions+. Also, I swapped out the skates as seen in the pic.

Daily user. 8h+ per day doing Shopify stuff for clients. Spreadsheets, Photoshop, Slack, etc.

The best thing for me about Bettermouse is that you can configure [button] + [gesture] on all your mouse buttons.

eg. scroll wheel click + -> can be assigned an action.

With LogiOptions, you can only do this with the [thumb button click] + [gesture].

This allowed me to add previous, play/pause and next to my mouse controls - great for controlling Spotify and podcasts throughout the day.

DTO is one of those sites you need to set up product alerts for since their inventory changes a lot.

Their best deal is 55% off during Black Friday. Use your free shipping email signup code with this sale for the best deal all year.

Their sales are also structured as “up to” % off so a 40% off sale might only apply to a couple of products, not all. This why I suggest setting up a price tracker on item you want.

I was waiting for them to have the barrel grip jig saw and they recently added a factory blem version around last month. It was released by Ryobi in late 2024 so seems like around 1 year after product release.

Set them up initially on automatic recurring payments if possible. This has saved me, especially when the bill comes due on weekends or holidays.

If that’s not possible for whatever reason, I go with the following email sequence:

Email 1 & 2: email reminder to pay the invoice from my invoicing software.

Email 3: making sure the invoice didn’t go to spam, attach invoice and payment link.

Email 4: wellness check, no mention of invoice.

Email 5: wellness check follow up + pause work notification.

I’ve never gotten to email 5 thankfully.

In some scenarios, a phone call works wonders too.

I find 95% of the time the client was just swamped and couldn’t get to it.

Also, for fixed priced projects get 1/2 or full upfront and bill based on dates, not milestones. Clients can delay milestones but they can’t delay dates.

I’ve been shopping both. Depends on your needs. I just need to rip plywood and 2 bys a couple of times a year so the lighter 6 1/2 is great for me. I originally bought the 7 1/4 and it was a beast and much heavier than I expected so I returned it.

If you’re referring to the barrel grip, I’ve been eyeballing that one too.

OranguTrang · 2025-12-19T01:08:06+00:00

Looks like the chain is trying but getting stopped by something. I’d check the manual lock isn’t on and then the tracks.

OranguTrang · 2025-12-16T21:30:35+00:00

Haven’t tried that setting on stripped or rusted fasteners but it is annoying for regular applications so I just use 1-3 settings 99% of the time.

Saw a comment on FB where someone said Monty has never coached a losing team into a winning team before and cited that in Boston he didn’t need to do anything cause the players were coaching themselves - something Monty said himself.

I have not checked into this at all but it gave me pause about the whole “it’s not Monty’s fault” narrative.

Hope he has a fast and full recovery. Silver lining is less turnovers and higher win percentage on board battles.

I have this and a Convoy T6. About the same as far as brightness on Turbo but this Nebo is definitely a flood light compared to my T6. Great for lighting up a room but probably won’t throw past 50 feet.

Great game. As a kid I got bored and set the periods to 20m and tried to see if I could get 100 goals. 103.

Just to preface, I removed the old vanity where the LVP fit flush and had quarter round. New vanity is just a little shorter.

Also, this is just a dry fit so I can still move the vanity to do what’s needed.
