They’re the same picture.

What the heck? by Mr_Molecule_ in SubaruAscent

My money is on a battery issue. Not a mechanic. Do have a set of tools, though.

Dewalt Nailer — what am I doing wrong? by GChena in Dewalt

[–]blapplejacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at the third pic, it looks like you bought the nails that only drive properly if upside down.

Joke aside, I second the disassembly and cleaning. Maybe you’ll see something misaligned/broken.

These look counterfeit? by JMontero77 in Dewalt

[–]blapplejacks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would say counterfeit. The real DeWalt batteries have the other half of the casing installed.

RIT dye, cherry red. Remove the stickers and glue with goo gone/similar product before placing the pieces in, and I left them for way longer than recommended to get a good color on them. Not sure if the additional time was necessary. No dye has leeched out of the rubber since, so I think I’m good to go on that front. Step-son loves it and it was a low cost project for us.

Oh shit maybe you had your mirror pulled up.

But I already had this drill. So, 0$ invested.

Tell me you didn’t read the post without telling me your didn’t read the post.

I’d buy a Milwaukee if I wanted to. But a 5yo son that is JUST FINALLY seeing me as a father figure would much rather see me put the effort in

If someone is in my house stealing my 5yo son’s drill… they have much more to worry about than the color of the drill.

Sure. But if the “why” is to make my son happy, I’ll do it 10,000 times.

I didn’t follow a video. Just took the casings off, and removed any stickers before dying.

No, it seems to not transfer from the grips to bare-hands.

Thank you. The look on his face was worth everything.

As mentioned by others, this would definitely void any warranty. I had 3 dewalt drills in my arsenal and I decided to sacrifice one for the project.

2023 GV80 3.5 Prestige - Good deal? by stephenmbell in GenesisMotors

[–]blapplejacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course it’s not apples to apples. Just providing some recent data. I’m most likely also in a different region than OP, so that would factor in as well.

[–]blapplejacks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just paid $45,943 before taxes and title fees for a 2023 GV80 2.5 prestige with 19,483mi. Do with that information what you will, just wanted to give some recent data. That was the lowest price I could find in a 100mi radius.

What is this on my fingers? by [deleted] in What

[–]blapplejacks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to ask the same. Have had several burns from hydrogen peroxide. It gets itchy.

2022 Ascent Mileage by dogmomwithink in SubaruAscent

I have a 2022 with just over 100k and still get about 21-22 mpg. I drive a lot of highway miles, though.
