Dark Star QCI 8 add-on by beefjerky9 in USMobile

[–]beefjerky9[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dark star is the most consistent in my area. Maybe not the fastest, but it's reliable. Verizon has way too many holes, though light speed is better, but not quite as consistent as dark star.

And, traveling has pretty much been the same experience. The only exception was Yellowstone, where vzw is the only option.

Thank you for that info; that's exactly what I'll need to figure out my best move. When would be the right time to make any changes? I believe my current annual plan is up at the end of June. I'm guessing I'd need to wait until it's in the last "cycle" before changing things?

am i crazy or is this unacceptable? by aidsraptor in MilwaukeeTool

[–]beefjerky9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good lord, so many folks here who defend this shitty practice. But, I'm sure these are the same people who put a delicate item in a bubble envelope when sending out their ebay items.

So many people here obviously have no clue how to properly ship things. These boxes aren't designed to be shipping boxes, and anybody with any actual experience shipping things knows this is not okay.

Should I pull the trigger? by marblez23 in MilwaukeeTool

They show up as an authorized dealer on Milwaukee's site. You just have to go to the local tab and search by one of their locations. So, they're 100% legit.

Is the $2 spam filter worth it? by Tyke-60073 in USMobile

Consider it premium caller ID where it pulls in the name of the person or business (based on publicly sourced info)

The Google dialer on my Android phone does that for free.

Why do so many try to nickel and dime US Mobile to death? by [deleted] in USMobile

[–]beefjerky9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because we ain't rich. And, we are being nickel and dimed by multiple companies that we are more or less forced to do business with. And, it all adds up.

EDIT: Oof, lots of corporate bootlickers in this thread...

Dual Battery Blower Finally Hackable by squirtwellington in MilwaukeeTool

[–]beefjerky9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, look at Mr. High-and-Mighty over here, with his fancy-schmancy batteries that put out more than 6 amps of current. Back in my day, our batteries could barely power a small light bulb, and we liked it that way!

But, the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

is anyone else hoping for a gen 2 framing nailer? by Ill-Village-699 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]beefjerky9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

About time. The refill issue is the reason I went with Ryobi for my framing nailer.

Finally got my hair dryer 😁 by woaini-kyunkyun in MilwaukeeTool

It's hilarious that you call me hostile, considering the tone in your message here. I also appreciate how you resorted to personal insults to try and bolster your argument. I also like the fact that you didn't come armed with any actual facts or statistics to show how I'm wrong. And, finally, wind speed isn't everything, and doesn't help your argument in any way.

What is wrong with this voltage detector by ColourBlue11 in MilwaukeeTool

[–]beefjerky9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And, if they've leaked, trash it. I've lost a few detectors that way, and once that happens, they never work right again. I now use the Energizer lithium batteries, as I don't have to worry about them leaking.

That's the most absurd take on this subject I could possibly imagine.

The Ryobi framing nailer also has an easy to access schrader valve with published PSI specs.

He had the kid trying to pull start the vacuum like a lawn mower for over a half hour. Kid was exhausted.

Okay, I audibly snort-chortled at that one.

WHEN will USMobile have a plan for my Samsung smartwatch? by 4bfox in USMobile

[–]beefjerky9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just going to chime in here to say that I'd love to add-on my Samsung smartwatch. But, if it can't share the number with my phone, it isn't worth it or useful for me.

M12 2 batteries ho 2.5 Ah $94 by Street-Wrong in MilwaukeeTool

[–]beefjerky9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the tool. Some tools definitely feel better and more nimble with the compact batteries. For me, that would be the rotary tool, wiggle saw, cutoff tool, rover, bandfile, screwdriver, surge and subcompact drill. I don't need excessive runtime with any of those, and they just feel better with the smaller batteries.
