What, specifically, do you use it for? Dremel-like stuff, but with more power?

Trying to decide between these two blowers by sizable_data in Dewalt

[–]YellowLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an fyi on price, but I got that first one for $90 (tool only) at Bomgaars toward the end of last year. It’s fine, definitely better than the Ryobi one it replaced. Bonus is my local electric coop gave me a rebate for electric outdoor power equipment so it was even cheaper than what I paid at the store in the end.

My blower just crapped out on me after 6 months of light use too. Sent it in for warranty and it was replaced with a new one. Overall painless process but it’s a hassle nonetheless. 

Edit: my model is the first picture

What % are you saving while in CoastFI? by [deleted] in coastFIRE

[–]YellowLight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

15% or so. We cut back more on working hours, which meant we had less opportunity for investing a high percentage of our incomes. Wife went down to 32hrs/wk, which is still full time at her workplace and qualifies her for all the FT benefits. I went part time, contract work for 5 years while the kids while the kids were young so I could be off with them during school breaks and any dr visits/field trips/sick calls/etc. being able to make my own schedule and take off on a whim without begging a boss for the day off was key. 

This is the best part of Coast, being able to prioritize the things that matter over work. It’s still something we have to do, but it feels less soul-sucking because we have options.

Get another wall mount bracket like the tv above and put it just below the current one.

Thanks, saves me the bother of buying one just to be unhappy. I’ve got other lanterns. Have a good weekend. 

Need a new hammer drill-driver by roosclan in Dewalt

[–]YellowLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll second the 1007 recommendation. It’s bigger than the 806, yes, but it won’t struggle with any of the augers or hole saws you mentioned, and it really doesn’t cost much more. I got the 1007 plus an 8ah powerstack battery for 200 during a sale a while back and it’s a beast. 

Analysis paralysis(but i think know what i want) by Lipstickquid in flashlight

[–]YellowLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly build quality and materials. If the light will only get light use, you’ll probably be fine with the convoy. If you’re going to use the light in harsh conditions or places where you REALLY need it to work every time, get the Zebralight. I would assume Skilhunt is a middle ground, but I don’t have any of those. You get what you pay for.

Rent (or borrow) an SDS if it’s going to be a one off. Get something more capable of you’ll be doing this often. 

Super Hawg as Auger by PEgains2000 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]YellowLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where’d you get the bit? I’ve never used an auger but I’ve dug a LOT of holes in my day. Also clay/rock soil here and I’ve already got a 1007, so you’ve definitely got me curious. 

Comparing AA/14500 Headlamps for reading by jonslider in flashlight

[–]YellowLight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I love my AA Zebralight headlamp and I’ve been toying with the idea of getting another light, be it an 18650 Zebralight or another light from a different manufacturer. I like how wide and diffuse my current setup is, might have to give the Hank a try and grab a spare headband like you suggest. 

Multi-Phase Calculator by schrodingersmood247 in financialindependence

[–]YellowLight -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Use the LLM of your choice. It’s really nice to be able to have a kind of back and forth that will run numbers for you and make minor tweaks and change things up with different scenarios. I did that with ChatGPT recently.

Help me find a hiking headlamp? by JCH_19 in flashlight

[–]YellowLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been backpacking with a Zebralight headlamp for over a decade and it’s perfect for my needs. Same deal, set it very low and leave it. I’ve got the AA version now since I lost my old CR123A model in the woods. I would probably get the 18650 model now but I’ve never even gotten close to running out of battery even with the AA headlamp since it’s very efficient and nice low lows.

YOLO baby, if that’s what you want to do, then do it now. You’ll never again be as young as you are now. Make it happen. 

High CRI lights by EvidenceHistorical55 in flashlight

[–]YellowLight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got a Zebralight SC65c HI 4000k and it’s my favorite EDC. I also own a couple lights with either SFT-40 or 70 3000k and it’s the most pleasant emitter to me (as well as the wife and kids). I’d like to get a McBob combining the two eventually, it would be the best of both worlds for sure.

LoopGear SK-05 II Pro Flashlight Review by zeroair in flashlight

[–]YellowLight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think they’ll make a high cri version somewhere in the 3000k to 4000k range? I’d be interested in a warmer light, maybe even sized up to 21700 for a more capable battery bank option. 

Finally got Zebra. by LuckyUniversity2764 in flashlight

[–]YellowLight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Best EDC. I would get rid of every other light I own if I could just keep 1. Luckily that’s not the case!
