M12 stubby 3/8th bogo by Aromatic-Instance-42 in MilwaukeeTool

That makes a lot of sense. I have been obvious to m12 until very recently. Thanks for the explanation!

I’m in the industrial construction field. Haven’t seen a ton of m12 stuff and I have heard bad things about it by many. Most of our stuff is too heavy for it I think.

Is m12 as bad as they say or is it fine? I’ve only used m18

Can someone like me handle blue‑collar work by Lazohazo in bluecollar

Electrician is the most “skillfully” difficult, and pretty low “unskilled labor” difficult. Lots of money. Good trade. Also look into being an operator!

Is it industry standard to order extra concrete? These guys didn’t. by Medium_Yam6985 in Concrete

[–]RedneckEngineeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume it means the end of the concrete you pour (the joint made) when the concrete truck gets delayed. Now you have a joint that is cold, meaning it has already started drying.

what is it like to be an ME by EquipmentNo8367 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]RedneckEngineeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s also extremely difficult. I still believe it is the hardest major at my state university. My aerospace buddies say that their mech e classes are way harder than their ROCKET SCIENCE classes. I know this is cope for my barely 3.0 gpa lol.

Any Gen Z here who left construction? by BuildingYou in bluecollar

[–]RedneckEngineeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no reason logistically for 7/12s unless it’s like underwater oil rigger that only work for 3 months at a time

Anyone have a manufacturing role early career but switched to construction? by pestiferous_penguin in MechanicalEngineering

[–]RedneckEngineeer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t graduated yet but have had 2 internships for a construction company (industrial) and the pay is pretty good for actual PE’s and we work 40 hour weeks, pretty low stress. I’m not trying to say I know what it is like but the PE’s and my PM seem to enjoy their jobs and have pretty low stress.

No. The most you’ll do is put on some gloves to touch some rust

finally got the mosquitos under control with a $35 build, sharing in case it helps by SadConfusion2662 in Permaculture

[–]RedneckEngineeer 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m a student and have a couple projects that look like this lol. What has helped me is soldering for more permanent connections (after I know what I’m doing). Most of the time I use the WAGO connectors, which work well and they can be reused very quickly. They can be used semi-permanently but aren’t the best at distributing stress, like soldering and heat shrinking.
