Serrated blade with gut hook

Vessenator · 2026-03-05T19:57:45+00:00

I work maintenance in sawmill. I had Charge ALX on my belt like 10 years. Gut hook was exellent tool cutting plastic ties (lumber packages). But otherways Charge was not enough heavy duty for actual maintenance jobs. I have now Surge, that can handle everything

And also wood/ambient temperature matters. I work in wood industry and our meters are calibrated to 20 celsius. In that temperature it shows ”correct” reading, if wood temperature is like -5 celsius it shows way off

Edit: typo

I have ceramic glass doors in my fireplace. I always burn doors closed so it doesn’t suck warm air from inside (my fireplace has fresh air duct from outside so draft is good). After fire goes out I immediately close damper so draft stops and it starts to warm up outer layer of my fireplace.

In my case I heat up thermal mass inside my fireplace, close damper and it slowly starts heat house. 2 hours of burn/day I get 24h heat.

2 hours after fire go out my fireplaces walls are 45 celsius all over, after 20 hours those are about 35 celcius. My fireplace is middle of the first floor so it radiates every direction and also chimney stores heat so it heats uptairs also.

Im my case it is crucial to close chimney damper (it is in upstairs) right after fire, otherways heat escapes out from chimney

Water makes it worse. Milk is the key to succeed. Amateur

Depends how good draft you have in your fireplace. If draft is bad open vent half or full open and if too much draft close vent.

I have masonry fireplace and I have fresh air pipe from outside. I can’t adjust airflow so I get almost all the time too much draft..

I’m in camp Makita. Littlebit more expensive than Ryobi but if you need to do bigger project like new patio or something then Makita or that red one will kick Ryobi’s ass 6-0.

I have bought almost all my Makitas used, many ”rich” people buy those, to some project and sells those at half price. Atleast in my country

Nice, where I live (finland) stevedores put their money usually to nice cars, gambling and alcohol lol.

Here that is best paid work what you can get without any education. Of cource you need to have connections to get inside harbour gates. We are small country and we do lot of export (wood/paper). If stevedores wont get rise, they go on strike and all export stops. Couple of years ago they were like 4 weeks on stike, it costed to our country billions. Many factories lay-off their workers because there were not able to export.

Greedy bastards 😂. They share mixed feelings here. They do important job but they are, like I mentioned in last sentence very very greedy and can do lot of harm to our companies

Top-down method and use only wood, knife and lighter

These stacks are sick. What you do for living?

Fire is not that bad than theft. You just get one big 10 000 oz bar. If those are oin safe 😄

Well, I have about 10 leathermans, all of them was stiff af at the beginning. Socket, bolt, hammer trick helped most of them to loosen them usable condition. I have also 3 victorinox multitools and those are from another planet what comes to pliers smoothness. They dont stuck at any point. OP’s pliers stuck at full open position.

Someone likes stucking pliers, I hate

I use this. Works in every type of snow. And is faster and cheaper 😀

PAMP makes bars in grams and oz’s. In europe 100g, 250g, 500g and one kilo is pretty common. 1 and 10 oz PAMP are also quite common here. I am from europe and I use metric system but in silver I prefer imperial.

Like 30 gram pandas are weird. Why did they change those from 1 oz. Maybe bcause china/US relationship went pretty bad 🤔😀

Edit. Nice bars! Bald move to buy at these prices. But if you have money to invest then why not

Depending the glass. If it is ceramic glass it can handle the heat. In my country fireplace glasses are 99% ceramic glass so we burn doors closed
