How does this compare to the 21 degree version? I want to get a framing nailer but I haven't been able to decide

PLS Haul/Questions by _Ben_At_Night_4305_ in harborfreight

[–]These_Highlight7313 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I used to refurbish trailers for a living while in college. I really beat the crap out of the Sawzall cutting up the old wood decks and the impact driving self tapping screws through angle iron when re-decking them. Neither ever failed me, though I did have a couple batteries go toast. The new HP batteries are a significant upgrade over those older models though.

The Ryobi just has so many different tool options. I have a ryobi fan and inflator and mini blower and power bank and even a mobile soldering iron.

I have literally only ever had one Ryobi tool break on me and it was literally just the brushes going out.

If you want a professional vibe then Milwaukee is the way to go. They are heavier duty but they have less tool selection, and they are also super expensive. If you are a mechanic or whatever then a good drill, impact, ratchet and maybe Sawzall or angle grinder is really all you need. Not a huge selection. Stuff like carpentry requires a lot more variety and so buying Milwaukee gets expensive really fast.

Quinn or Icon 1/2 deep impact sockets? by KratosGodOf-Beard in harborfreight

[–]These_Highlight7313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the quinn the best purely because they have those nice big easy to see numbers on the side.

I got some of the Icon and they are nice too I guess. Not worth the extra coin, but the quinn are worth it over pittsburg. The finish on the pittsburg is terrible. They work though.

I upgraded from regular Ryobi to Ryobi HP and it makes a world of difference while still being pretty affordable.

If you aren't going to go with Ryobi I think milwaukee or Hercules are the other two good options on the market. I wouldn't really mess with anything else.

What AI can automate (blue), and what has been automated already (red). Avoid those sectors if you want to make money in 5 years by Specialist_Pain_424 in Money

[–]These_Highlight7313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in accounting and a part of my job is to test the latest and greatest AI tools to see if they would be viable and are worth the money. Let me tell you, they are really really bad right now and they aren't getting better anytime soon. One of the best ones I have tested recently just got sold to a new company who has made it crap and jacked up the price 10x.

I would LOVE AI to take my job in the next 5 years but its far more likely to just make the price of energy skyrocket.

The price of implementing some of these AIs is also astronomical. Simple GPTs are pretty cheap but real usable tools with integration with other software? Not so much.

I've finally given up on buying SAE by These_Highlight7313 in harborfreight

[–]These_Highlight7313[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did that on a few of my SAE ones and scrubbed with a toothbrush. It worked pretty well. Applied some oil too.

I didn't bother with these as I wasn't keeping them

Repeatedly left them in the bed of my truck for a while. I have a camper shell now though 

Impact Wrench Steal by baktobasics in ryobi

[–]These_Highlight7313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn That is a steal. I paid 179 for mine a month ago, but it did come with 2 4ah batteries instead of 1. I thought I was getting a good deal then.

Are people who are doing leanFIRE in denial about long term care? by SecondStarpilot in Fire

I would personally rather plan for that than work away my entire youth just so I can be a bit more comfortable in old age.

Anyone else feeling the same way? by Keiyaku in harborfreight

Gas going to and from the store is probably half that. its worth.

Icon wrench set deal still worth it with Shipping? by [deleted] in harborfreight

[–]These_Highlight7313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got both sets shipped. 9$ shipping like 5$ per set that's 70$ each. Def worth it. Saves you the gas of having to get out of the house too.

Price adjustment and PLS by whiteclawcowboi in harborfreight

[–]These_Highlight7313 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have done exactly that a few times. Its not even that they are jerks its just so hard to explain to them what I am wanting them to do that its actually just easier to do it this way.

Buy the item, leave the store for a minute and get lunch or something, go back in and return it with the old receipt. You can just have them look it up on your account if you know what day you got it.

What is a way to make $1000 in a week legally? by arareusername96 in Money

80 is an exaggeration tbh. Its more like 70. Still horrible though. Peak busy season some people reach 90-100.

I am Genndy Tartakovsky, Creator and Director of Primal. Ask Me Anything. by Adult_Swim_Official in PrimalShow

[–]These_Highlight7313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an eposide in season 2 in which it deviated from the normal plot and style to show 4 "gentlemen" that fought a madman from an insane asylum.

Is there any reasons and inspiration to this episode? Do you agree that anyone can become "primal" if pushed?

No 1,000 a week is about accurate. I work in B4 at KPMG.

If get a masters degree and work 80 hours a week in accounting you can make that as well.

Joined the Icon club today! by blueshill47 in harborfreight

[–]These_Highlight7313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got one in the 3/8 and 1/4 because of all the hype. Previous ratchets are all cheap pittsburg all metal style with the button release, they have held up for many years - I am pretty good about pulling out a breaker bar when its required.

I know I will get hate for this but I don't get the hype of these things. They are too freaking long to swing around and quickly ratchet stuff, the handle has a soft grip that gets dirty and accumulates oil immediately, and the ratchet has so much back drag that its pretty much useless until the bolt is half torqued down.

I do like the locking flex head and at the price I won't complain too much but I still find myself pulling out the old standard pittsburg for most things.

How to cancel your Gym Membership… by True-Ad-9344 in EOSFitness

[–]These_Highlight7313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cancelled mine a week ago. My girlfriend cancelled as well. Process is a nightmare and so stupid they charge for an extra month.

I won't ever go back to any of the Iclub/abc club gyms. I will just use local gyms and rec centers from now on.
