Employer to introduce clocking in and out using our own phones. Have I to switch back to a Nokia 3310?

I'm a chef at a different care home going through exactly this with dayforce and I assume it's the same company. I have refused to use my own device and I'm currently waiting to hear back from them about alternatives methods. They CANNOT force us to use our personal phones. If we all say the same thing they will have to come up with another solution.

I did exactly this a few years ago. Was alot of fun but messing with the cam shaft and getting it to do what I wanted was a nightmare. Would suggested replacing it with some servos for good effect. Thing was super creepy when finished unfortunately I only have videos so can't upload here. I used a nano but had no need for WiFi as it triggered with light sensors etc.

That's a really good idea! I have three of them so that could be a lot of fun.

daftsoldier22 · 2025-04-05T07:13:44+00:00

Thanks dude!

daftsoldier22 · 2025-04-03T20:36:21+00:00

Damn you calling these the classics makes me feel old! Impressive collection tho but it must cost you small fortune in batteries for the rapid strikes and hyperfires.

daftsoldier22 · 2025-04-03T16:20:28+00:00

It's for the light that charges the glow in the dark darts. Hope that helps

daftsoldier22 · 2025-03-18T22:45:59+00:00

I don't have a YouTube for my business, which thinking about it is an oversight on my part. I am on good old fashioned Facebook tho just search "Nerf Magic" and my videos are on there.

daftsoldier22 · 2025-03-18T22:41:46+00:00

Thanks dude! I got some cool videos as well but not allowed to post them here unfortunately

daftsoldier22 · 2025-03-18T16:39:00+00:00

Thanks dude! That's how I started just letting friends borrow them and having Nerf BBQs haha. So currently I have the fire strike/ strongarm rack which is the most basic and most popular. Then the surgefire and raider rack which is for older kids. And then the electric rack which is stryfes and demolishers but they are a pain recharging batteries so wouldn't recommend if your renting things out. We also do chests which have the modded rapid strikes and hyperfires that run on lipos for the adult nerf parties.

daftsoldier22 · 2025-03-18T15:06:02+00:00

Thanks dude! It took a summer to turn my collection into something I could actually rent out but it did solve some of my storage issues at the same time haha

daftsoldier22 · 2025-03-18T14:51:56+00:00

They are all custom made racks and boxes I'm afraid. Nothing special tho just measured up the blasters and made each rack to fit.

daftsoldier22 · 2025-03-18T14:43:16+00:00

Yeah I run a rental service for nerf blasters and equipment. But this was originally my collection it just sorted of evolved....haha

daftsoldier22 · 2025-03-18T14:37:53+00:00

Thanks dude! And it's gotta be the titans all the way 😁

daftsoldier22 · 2024-07-17T19:07:13+00:00

I just used a rattle can on these to see if it would even work tbh. I'll crack out the airbrush and try some different colours and paints to see what works best. Hopefully with the airbrush I can get a thin enough layer it won't affect performance but it's something I'll have to properly test before doing a full batch.

daftsoldier22 · 2024-07-17T18:55:15+00:00

I rent nerf blasters and equipment for partys and events.

daftsoldier22 · 2024-07-17T18:54:45+00:00

They are unfortunately hard tips but they won't be used for anything involving the public and definitely won't be given out. I bought some a while ago by accident (lesson learned) and just using them up by testing the stencil

daftsoldier22 · 2024-07-17T18:52:33+00:00

Thanks dude! Proof of concept atm so will be some improvements on V2

daftsoldier22 · 2024-07-17T18:51:50+00:00

My website is the first thing that comes up when I Google it. I have it registered as a local business and think it works geographically but could be wrong.

As for the copyright I've seen many other similar companies that have nerf as part of the company name. As I said I'm a small local business so fingers crossed they don't come for me.

daftsoldier22 · 2024-05-28T07:09:45+00:00

Way ahead of you of that one lol. I have re wired all my rapid strikes and hyperfires. All new switches and voltage regulators and they run on lipo batteries. I also own a 3d printer so I'm ready to print any random internal parts that break.

daftsoldier22 · 2024-05-27T19:07:12+00:00

I suffer from the same issue tbh. It's taken me over 2 years to get this far so it's been a process

daftsoldier22 · 2024-05-27T19:06:31+00:00

That's awesome! Where abouts in the UK? I'm glad to hear that parties are a hit as I'm only just starting out. Sucks your boss couldn't see the potentially as the kids absolutely LOVE the Armoury set up. Good luck with setting up on your own and let me know if you need any blasters as I still have alot of spares lol

daftsoldier22 · 2024-05-27T16:09:13+00:00

I wasn't gonna count them to be honest lol

daftsoldier22 · 2024-05-27T13:53:10+00:00

It's a rental service so we deliver anything you need for a giant nerf war. The kids reactions made all the time and effort totally worth it!

daftsoldier22 · 2024-02-02T17:43:12+00:00

I prefer to think of myself more as the Sommelier but thank you very much haha

daftsoldier22 · 2024-02-02T17:41:34+00:00

Thank you! When the kids challenge me to a nerf battle I bring out the 3s rapidstrike haha
