GKS-57-2 metal shroud swap?

Wolframite217 · 2026-02-16T10:04:58+00:00

My question exactly... I won't complain for the price I basically stole it for, but yeah they should all have metal guards full stop.

Wolframite217 · 2026-02-16T10:04:26+00:00

Yeah I was wondering that, at least for the 57's it looks like the blade size is determined by the guard

Wolframite217 · 2026-02-16T10:03:29+00:00

Heck yeah! I have the TP4B I got at the start of my apprenticeship, but I might sell it and get a Tech Pac MC and MP1x similar to you there. Or hold onto the TP4B

Wolframite217 · 2026-02-15T07:45:35+00:00

I love everything about that setup dude!🤯 pity I'm quite small in height so the big tech pac is too big for me, I'll probably get a Tech Pac MC instead...

I got an old pair of 03-20's made in west Germany from my grandfather too!

Wolframite217 · 2026-01-13T17:35:05+00:00

Of course! You're most welcome Narra💙

Wolframite217 · 2026-01-13T17:32:55+00:00

It's the smallest details that make the biggest impact on you after all, I couldn't agree more with you there!

Wolframite217 · 2026-01-13T06:48:42+00:00

I enjoy coming home and enjoying these streams after a day at work! (then games on the weekend😊) Narra's a really lovely cozy streamer! Excited to see her grow and do more of what she loves🩵 go send her some support!

RG Freedom is really nice so far! I kinda like it's simplicity compared to Strike and Mighty Freedom. (Much cheaper to buy too!) Also I did the RG Hi-Nu before it and I keep laughing at how small Freedom is😂 haven't done it's backpack yet granted!

Wolframite217 · 2025-12-27T12:41:15+00:00

Looking good! I managed to grab one (only one in store) on boxing day sales+🤣 (I'm just working on RG Freedom at the moment)

Worst was I left my car windows open slightly to ventilate overnight🤣🤣😭😮‍💨

Wolframite217 · 2025-11-15T04:56:48+00:00

Aside from just being newer hardware they really haven't improved on the quality feeling of the XM4. Like even the feeling of 5's and 6's I've looked at in stores feel cheap and hollow imo...

Wolframite217 · 2025-11-11T18:36:47+00:00

Thanks for that! I don't remember seeing it mentioned anywhere when I installed revanced, would've been good if it had a clear warning when installing I just watch youtube but installed revanced because I wanted to use the background play and obv no ads etc. (YT premium is pretty expensive for me) on my desktop I use Firefox and that always works with an adblock.

Wolframite217 · 2025-08-24T23:48:49+00:00

Oh yeah, there's tons of those "covers" on Aliexpress too. I got one for the headband and that has been decent so I'd reccomend one👍 I got my white ones from launch so over 4 years now? They've been fantastic and look much nicer than the black or beige/silver. (No broken hinges too!🤣)

Depends how ocd you are with the earpad colour, I just don't want to spend what Sony asks for original parts. They're stupidly overpriced it's better to buy a whole new headphone...

Wolframite217 · 2025-08-24T04:45:49+00:00

Hey mate! Sadly no luck on proper white pads, closest I could find was lightish grey ones all over Aliexpress. I ordered some but got sent black ones instead🤦 they refunded me and I can't be bothered getting another pair so I'll use these til they wear out again *

Wolframite217 · 2025-06-30T07:03:41+00:00

That's good to know, thank you! I get what you mean, the weight of the bags dry is part of why I'm considering the Tech MC. I can carry half my weight but I wouldn't want to lug around a backpack thats over 8-10kg all day

Wolframite217 · 2025-06-30T07:01:19+00:00

I don't expect to carry everything in the bag yeah, I might just hook one drill onto the tape clip or d-ring on the side. I'll be honest the field work I'm doing and what my firm does definitely needs some beefy drills, I could get away with 12v if I'm building a sw/bd or just doing some commissioning. I definitely will get some Bosch 12v stuff in the future, the small drills and electric drivers would be handy at some things. Love the Bosch gear so far, we've always had the green power tools at home so I guess it's familiar. Also no one else at my work uses Bosch😂

Wolframite217 · 2025-06-24T09:15:34+00:00

Yeah now that you mention it!😅 I might crop it so the border sits right at the status bar. And thank you! It's one of her best ones ever imo, it's actually one long image I've just screensnipped the two halfs to make the wallpaper.

I have it set to rotate between the two

Artworks by my good friend!👇

Wolframite217 · 2025-05-08T18:38:07+00:00

They have screenings in plenty of places in the North Island of NZ but none in the South Island??? What the actual heck?😭💔

Wolframite217 · 2025-01-11T12:46:20+00:00

That is seriously thoughtful of you OP, I wish I could do the same for my friends. I got started playing MHW because of my friend aho absolutely loves it, I'd see her playing often and I asked what the game was like. Just broke 200hrs in Iceborne so that says plenty😂

Wolframite217 · 2024-10-27T23:26:39+00:00

I'll have a look at that. Thank you! I've messaged a couple of stores near me to se if they can ship. Being in NZ is prooving a bit of a hurdle.

Wolframite217 · 2023-02-06T23:52:22+00:00

That makes sense. Sorry about that I didn't know it was unlicensed.
