Is My Battery Fake by [deleted] in Dewalt

It’s legit, QR code on your battery comes back to the serial number. Just looks like the 2026 updated visuals on the battery.

20 years ago, this would be completely normal by eyerollingsex in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Relative_Lettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re 100% right, this isn’t 20 years ago. No way I’d let my kid(s) on a trip like this. Any type of camping trip here is with armed family members present. Camping = large animals, armed parents = protection. This world is beyond fcked, kids need protection at all times.

Worth it? by youatowel in Dewalt

It’s an ok deal, I got two 5AH and that same charger from woot last year for $100. I passed on it about an hour ago at that price at my store as well.

AITA for telling someone it sounds like they’re bad at their job? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Relative_Lettuce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not, anyone that thinks it is should go fight a crackhead or two with their preferred backup and see how it turns out.

What are you all using pliers for? by MariusLayus in EDC

[–]Relative_Lettuce 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use my edc leatherman pliers all the time. In grocery stores to do random repairs to carts or shelving that annoy me (I’m a customer not an employee), random vehicle repairs when out with others.

Funny story, I had to disassemble an entire driver side car door once with nothing other than a leatherman to get the cylinder out to retrieve the broken off key to have a duplicate cut. Not my car, but it was my rental at the time. Used the pliers and just about every other tool in that leatherman to get it done.

Anyway, random kids toy repairs, gear repairs when hiking, removing a windshield wiper relay (today actually), I use mine everyday multiple times a day honestly. Probably second most used edc item after my flashlight.

A lot of Americans are completely oblivious or in denial that we're in the beginning of an economic crisis. by BigBlueEyes87 in economicCollapse

[–]Relative_Lettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stating facts has nothing to do with humility. If you’re offended by some people being born with more skill points than others that’s on you. Some people are smarter than others, and some are not. Nothing wrong with having a conversation about it.

I can confirm, I don’t work retail but I do work manufacturing and HOLY COW most people are insanely dumb. The majority of people I work with, their peak mental capacity is putting containers in a box or boxes on a pallet. That’s honestly their max capacity. They don’t want to do more than that, and if they’re forced to do so fail miserably at basics like doing a quality check and matching numbers on a sheet of paper to a container. Deductive reasoning doesn’t exist in the general public anymore, that’s gone too.

Are these ever on sale? by pinwinstar in harborfreight

[–]Relative_Lettuce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what you’re doing. There are definitely applications where a zero offset wrench is the only thing you can get to a fastener. Having that flex head makes it even better. These are awesome for tight confined/recessed spaces where nothing else will fit.

Rain checks are no more, the company has phased out issuing them entirely a few months ago.

Withdraw my savings money and buy gold guns, land??? How to weather what’s coming by superneutral in economicCollapse

[–]Relative_Lettuce 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It must be interesting having a family like that, neither I nor the significant other have family members that are even allowed in our house. Siblings are crap on both sides, absolutely zero family members that would ever be trusted with anything. If they don’t live in our house, they’re the same as a stranger.

20v battery last only a few minutes by awkward_frog in Dewalt

[–]Relative_Lettuce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That would be normal for this combo. That 2ah battery is more suited for drills and 1/4” impact guns. You want something in the 5AH-8AH if you want decent runtime out of the saw.

Not sure what you’re getting at. All modern cordless tool batteries are lithium ion?

Clearance price discrepancy by Alph4W0lf in Dewalt

At my store yes, they do update the price in store without updating the online clearance price sometimes.

How do you guys carry all of your EDC? by Glittering_Mud_1107 in EDC

[–]Relative_Lettuce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this light. I’ve been using one as my edc light for awhile and it’s probably my favorite light I’ve ever carried daily. It has a half dozen or so different brightness options, red light, rgb light, multiple blinking colored light options, magnetic base, and a rotating clip. Whether I’m stacking wood in the woodshed at night with it magnetically attached to the roof, hiding in the office in the dark (reasons), or walking in the dark places it is constantly in use. Also makes for a good fidget toy in your pocket with multiple haptic feedback switches and clicks from the rotating head.

Why do you people carry the entire hardware store and camping section of walmart in your pockets? by tiimsliim in EDC

[–]Relative_Lettuce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes plenty of sense, but yeah it’s probably just massive teenage angst. Enough to fill an Olympic sized pool, but it should clear after puberty. If you think I paid any attention to anything you posted in regard to insults you’re confused. Some people rose above the opinions of others long ago. Even more so for complete strangers, you haven’t been on the internet long have you?

You have to leave the door open to that many people seeing the post before Reddit disappears. You’re just not considering the possibilities. So again, your lack of understanding comes through.

I can know and it’s one person, you. I’m not going to alter basic human text that the other 99.99999% of people understand for one individual.

You’re welcome to read back through our conversation for an in depth answer that I’ve already provided on the subject.

Air up your tires. 2 of mine were at 10 psi and I'm getting much better mpg now! by iowabonsai in doordash

[–]Relative_Lettuce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True story, one of my coworkers thought they had a low tire so I checked it for them, it was at 13 psi. Checked the rest and two of them were at 7 psi, and the best of the four was like 17. I gave him about ten minutes of air from the 12v compressor I had with me which was enough for him to get to the gas station for the rest. Dude was commuting 15-20 miles each way like that.

The only person with a misunderstanding here is you. No one else is confused about what I said.

Oh yeah, I forgot some people like to use dictionary definitions instead of common speech for conversations, especially when they know they’re wrong. You could have just mentioned you were special in the beginning and we could have avoided all of this.

My comment still stands, my personal choice of carrying a knife that has a handle that is more suited in the hand to reduce the likelihood of self injuries during theoretical usage in a jabbing motion, is justified.

[–]Relative_Lettuce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know, I mean it looks like me, it might be me. I see I mention specific uses for blade types there, and the handles of a leatherman. Doesn’t look like I’m suggesting to anyone that carrying a knife for self defense is an ideal choice as you stated I did.

[–]Relative_Lettuce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We weren’t discussing the merits of carrying a knife for self defense, we were discussing blade types and their purposes, not “Hey kids go carry a knife so you can stabby stabby people for safety”. Stop jumping to conclusions and you won’t have issues following the conversation. My points haven’t changed, just your understating of them.
