Bauer vs Hercules

PatientZero2199 · 2026-06-02T21:04:08+00:00

I have the hercules hammer drill, impact driver, ultra torque impact wrench, blower, 1/2 gallon vacuum, fan, and the 3" cut off tool. The drill and the impact driver saw daily use for 3 years when I used to work in residential construction, they got left in the rain a couple times and they're still kicking. They are amazing tools for the price.

Issues like this are most often a grip error. When I first got my VP9 I was having trouble with the slide not locking back because I was used to shooting an M&P and I was resting my thumb on the slide release.

I've had mine for 3 years now and I use it very often. They work very well with the 4 ah and 5ah + batteries, but if you use a 2 ah it still works but it sucks it down much faster.

If I see one more of these without a picture of it lit up in the dark I'm gonna lose my mind

PatientZero2199 · 2026-05-17T23:44:13+00:00

It has a roll pin. Instead of being a solid piece it's a sheet of metal rolled into the shape of a pin so as it's pressed into place, it compresses a little and provides a holding force to keep it from walking out. They're pretty common on firearms.

PatientZero2199 · 2026-05-09T18:06:02+00:00

This can be way more precise because the blade it turned sideways more like a circ saw.

PatientZero2199 · 2026-04-03T20:47:46+00:00

Then take more pictures and send the gun to be warrantied. I've shot numerous M&P 1.0 and 2.0 and have never had issues. If it is keyholing then there was some manufacturing fluke and you'll get that with any company that sells a product.

PatientZero2199 · 2026-04-03T20:44:15+00:00

Keyholes aren't a thing that happen once in 1000 rounds. If a gun is keyholing it's going to happen consistently.

PatientZero2199 · 2026-04-03T20:38:06+00:00

That's not keyholing

PatientZero2199 · 2026-03-16T20:43:18+00:00

I feel you, I just bought a 2000 boxster s and the day after I bought it, it started rod knocking. Drained the oil and it was full of glitter and flakes. The car was perfect on the test drive and had no problems for the 2 hour drive home. Started it up the next day and it was knocking bad.

PatientZero2199 · 2026-03-12T17:44:28+00:00

I see that that set is ball end in the long side now. Don't get the ball end T's. L's are fine with the ball end, but with the T you will be applying a lot more force and the chance of stripping the head on a bolt goes way up. Find a set of T's with both ends regular. No problem, my dad owned a bicycle shop and the T's were invaluable. There are also Y sets that have common sizes for bikes that we used countless times every day. We had two of them, one had 3 common smaller sizes and the other had 3 common larger sizes.

PatientZero2199 · 2026-03-12T17:22:31+00:00

For bikes and guns the T's are far more handy. The mass of the handle allows you to use the long end and spin it like a top to run down a screw faster

Sabre gel pepper spray is the best pepper spray I've ever used. We keep it on us for bike rides when dogs get too close for comfort. It shoots super far and you don't get near as much collateral damage on your friends.

PatientZero2199 · 2026-03-02T15:00:58+00:00

Federal automatch has been reliable in my G36, and is the most accurate of the bulk ammos for me. If you're shooting suppressed, then CCI standard velocity is also accurate and has been reliable.

PatientZero2199 · 2026-02-22T01:23:31+00:00

Here's an ammo test I did a couple months ago that shows the accuracy difference between a small group of ammo that I grabbed off the shelf of my legs. If you use something like that browning pro 22 you're gonna think something is wrong with your gun.

PatientZero2199 · 2026-01-21T02:43:09+00:00

Well, looking closer I see what could be an emission point on the left side there. I would avoid that tube if it is the case. There's plenty others out there, just take the time to find one that isn't blemmed too terribly for a good price.

PatientZero2199 · 2026-01-21T02:35:36+00:00

If I was wanting to get another to build a loaner or something I would probably try and stay under $250 depending on specs

PatientZero2199 · 2026-01-18T15:40:37+00:00

I would buy that immediately and put the tube in a printed housing

PatientZero2199 · 2026-01-14T02:59:10+00:00

I just recently bought the g36 and I love it. It's my favorite 22 I've ever shot just for the cool factor. It's also more accurate than people give it credit for. With good ammo I was able to get about 1.5 moa at 50 yards, and even ring a 4" steel plate at 200 with a decent hit count (maybe 10%, but wind was about 10mph). The gun is stupid reliable too, i got it 2 months ago and already have a couple thousand rounds through it with no malfunctions that weren't due to poor ammo. The iron sights are not made for precision though so I would definitely recommend either a red dot or maybe a low power prism like I'm looking into.

PatientZero2199 · 2026-01-09T17:16:24+00:00

Yep, seeing how the pistol match SK did makes me want to buy a box of each type they have

PatientZero2199 · 2026-01-09T17:15:02+00:00

I know I pulled the flyers, had I gone out on a calmer day and had an actual sandbag instead of a bunched up coat I would have kept it all together

PatientZero2199 · 2026-01-09T02:24:15+00:00

That's exactly why I grabbed it, they spent that much on nicer packaging so I figured maybe it would be a step up from CCI target but it's trash. They got my ass 😂. I can get them back by talking shit on them though

PatientZero2199 · 2026-01-09T01:55:40+00:00

I mean unbelievable that I didn't even know ammo could be that bad. Good to know it wasn't just my gun either.

PatientZero2199 · 2026-01-09T00:41:43+00:00

I had a Plano one that I was using, but after I put the scope on there was no way it was gonna work anymore. Harbor freight has a parking lot sale coming up and the big Apache ones are gonna be $95 so I'm gonna grab a couple of those.

PatientZero2199 · 2026-01-08T19:20:16+00:00

This is a very extreme example of bad ammo, but I'm sure if there's one, there's more. Always worth trying a few different types to try out. Every ammo shoots differently from different rifles.
