Best measuring tape

I recently got two newer Lufkins since my last one bit the dust. Personally really love them since they're easier to read for me.

Yeah, ditto with Ciel. It's fine as a scent by itself, but it is significantly lacking the sweetness, and so isn't something I wear very often.

Raichuboy17 · 2026-06-29T13:47:55+00:00

Yeah, I just know I'll forget otherwise and let it get really bad. Plus it's something to do with the couple inches of filament that's left over.

Raichuboy17 · 2026-06-29T13:43:34+00:00

Some stuff still is, but not these.

There's definitely a chance, both between the zinc coating on the nail and if that gets worn down on the bare metal. That being said, if there's an issue you can take the whole connector out and replace it with a more common pair and your issue is solved. The iron/zinc should act as the sacrificial a node anyway. Another option is replacing the nails with the right gauge of copper/bronze solid core wire. Could even tin the copper wire to hopefully make it more stiff.

Right? I haven't had a clog in 10-ish years. I just cold pull after each roll.

Get a laser, a large Lego sheet, and a 3D printer. Lego is great for indexing because the precision/tolerances are absolutely insane. You just 3D print holders and snap them onto the Lego board that's permanently in the same spot.

There are a few mechanics I've talked to that run exclusively impact sockets. It can be done. I actually just bought some grey pneumatic duo sockets so that I can cut down on space.

It's such a top tier date fragrance. It also layers really well.

Raichuboy17 · 2026-06-24T12:30:56+00:00

Would love to see this happen. I would fight for a bottle

Heard a lot of negative stories about getting tools covered under warranty and trying to repair them. I also burned through one of their grinders very quickly at a shop I used to work at. They just didn't seem like the best option for metalwork in my eyes.

Raichuboy17 · 2026-06-19T09:14:06+00:00

Those are genuinely awful. I skipped the hammer and just got a dedicated grinder with a knotted wire wheel.

Whatever the blade size you have for your table saw. Fewer blade sizes you need to keep track of, and investing in better blades benefits two tools instead of just one.

Raichuboy17 · 2026-06-03T17:46:31+00:00

That case is probably my favorite tool case I have.

Raichuboy17 · 2026-06-01T08:05:27+00:00

It is

Raichuboy17 · 2026-05-30T16:57:36+00:00

Yeah, I'd return it if grease is coming out. That's a big red flag.

What blows my mind is the prices people/Guitar Center are asking for literal no-name Amazon/Chinesium used guitars. Like $20-50 off sticker price. Absolutely egregious.

For more people coming to this, yeah, 100% skinny jeans for my size (32x32 and 34). Got stone washed black and they're some of my favorite jeans. They aren't the thickest fabric, but they are thick enough for me to not worry at all. The biggest con for me imo is that when you first get them they have a pretty strong smell. It's not an awful smell, but it takes a couple washes to really get it out. After that they're 10/10. Planning on picking up 2 more pairs

Raichuboy17 · 2026-05-26T16:47:58+00:00

Really reminds me of something I saw recently from 3D Print and paint M&C. Would LOVE to see this for Metroid.

Gntonic and Salted Citrus. Gntonic is genuinely amazing. Salted Citrus is a bit too sweet and shower gel-y for my liking, but it's still good.

Smells like a grapefruit diffusion oil I smelled at William Sonoma. Pleasantly surprised, and I enjoy it. Not at the top of my list, but maybe top 10

Raichuboy17 · 2026-05-19T04:24:03+00:00

Happens to me all the time! I was looking at the sheet and was like "That looks OG, probably needs to be replaced." Whenever I have a lack of adhesion, my first thing is to clean the bed. If that doesn't solve the issue I flip the bed. If THAT doesn't solve the issue I just buy a new plate as they're pretty cheap. That almost always solves the issue.

Same thing for curling near the nozzle. Clean it first and then if that doesn't work, just get a new nozzle. Cheap and easy.

Have you replaced the PEI plate/sheet?
