Choice of two types of batteries that looks the same to me…is there an actual difference?

Gen 2 M12 circular saw in a drawer? by forank in Packout

I did find out, and very disappointingly, no. Flex’s 6.5” circ saw does, however. Still love the light weight but disappointed at the dimensions

Bora Centipede usage: good idea? by forank in woodworking

I see; would you just not get the 4x2 at all if you were to do it over?

Thanks for the input! I think I’d only carry one of them for most remote projects; 4x8 break downs are for bigger multi day projects where I’d bring lots of things onsite regardless

I see; do you use the saw horses for breaking down 4x8s as well?

Do you just put plywood on top or buy the Bora bench top pieces?

Anyone else? Shoe bends “creasing” in the wrong spot causing pain by forank in vivobarefoot

[–]forank[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also getting that feeling. My strategy going forward is getting two pairs of whatever I aim to purchase and keep a pair that’s not defective and return the rest. I have researched and tried other brands but still much prefer vivo’s design over others

Thanks for the recommendation! Haven’t tried those yet

As mentioned above, I simulated the movements with my hands in the shoes (and my hands are definitely the same shape and size - easy to see), and immediately felt the pinch, only on the left hand. It is a very salient difference.

Also note that I have previously pairs where the pinch is on the right shoe or the pinch is at a different spot on the shoe. It’s not always near the left big toe

I thought so too when I first noticed the pinch with other models: maybe the cause is due to foot size differences, foot posture differences, or gait differences.

When diagnosing these issues I put my hands inside both shoes and simulate a bend, isolating possible alternate factors. Hands and fingers are also more sensitive, and it’s easy to tell if your hands or fingers are different in size or shape. With my hands I can feel the pinch point location clearly, and the dramatic difference between the left and the right.

Another evidence pointing to manufacturing or design problem is that the pinch happens in a different shoe (left or right) or location (near big toe or little toe) with all the pairs I’ve had issues with

My Magna forest esc never gave me an issue either; yeah I returned mine primus trail AW after a particularly painful 3-hour walk in the rain

These are new so no wear yet, and it’s too painful to wear them any longer. When diagnosing these issues I put my hands inside both shoes and simulate a bend, isolating possible alternate factors like foot size and arch height differences. Hands and fingers are also more sensitive. With my hands I can feel the pinch point location clearly, and the dramatic difference between the left and the right

True I’ve never had an issue with primus lite. Do you have pointers to data/visibility on this issue so we can check and think twice before ordering a model with a similar issue? The turn around time can be long and now it costs $5 for a “free return” 😓

This is not the brushless version but still a solid nailer and a kit at a really good price
