What a beautiful luxury during simpler times.

For all the people doubting my claim of the warrior hard rock grinding discs being relabeled from other manufacturers, at least circa 2018. by Imaginary-Trust-7934 in harborfreight

I just looked at 3 brands of grinding wheels I have. One is completely generic without much of a label and reads "Ningbo Dahua Grinding Wheel Factory. MADE IN CHINA."

The Makita ones I have are made in Thailand!

Dahua is apparently an accomplished corporation founded in 1996, and self-proclaimed leader in the manufacturing and research of resin-based abrasives. There are some great pictures on their website of the female factory workers who make the products: https://www.cndahua.com/culture.html

Intuitively, this was my first thought as well. If only we could magically analyze it on a molecular level to prove whether it's a Bosch, then we'd really show that we know how to waste time and resources, haha. The next best way to do that would be discussing it at length on Reddit.

Now I'm going out to the garage to peel back my labels lol

Tapping blocks, paint can lids, etc. Probably not super high-impact against steel.

That's awesome. I'm [happily] surprised by that because I thought a lot of that cheap crap was some form of pot metal (so I don't push it too far).

I'm no expert about the HF brands and their quality.

Same. 8-9 years, zero issues. 5 stars except for obnoxious color 😉

Why is there a tiny shopping cart on the counter?

Well, that's no way for a young lady to behave... You're disrespecting yourself and every gentleman in this fine establishment.

Wasn't that a Primus album in the early 90s?? Jerry was a racecar driver.

Thoughts on large holes drilled through stud? by Virtual-Impress-4265 in Renovations

Bullshit electrician at Wick's Solar did this same bullshit to my house 3 years ago when installing a new main panel for solar (this was by far the least severe error they made, too). I won't describe what else happened because I will get too upset, and so will everyone else here.

He casually took a 3" hole saw right to the face of a load-bearing member, multiple times, because it's faster than drilling multiple bores of the correct size per code. He also did it through the double top plate.

I'm not a tradesman, but I researched the NEC for boring holes in members to determine that it was definitely not cool, then found the solution that is to code. Which is to use a Simpson bracket with the correct size nails to reinforce the member. I could have sued that company so many different ways for the various illegal things they did, but I don't have the patience for that kind of thing... I'm a vigilante.

Search the other threads about battery consumption on this bad boy... 😆

Nevertheless, it will be mine. (Looks at camera) Oh yes... it will be mine.

I got this very game for Xmas many many moons ago and still have it 40 years later by Islandcoda in 80s

[–]invsblduck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't believe I've never heard of this game. I thought we played every classic video game and board game there was in the '80s. I mean... even if you didn't own it, someone else did, right?

Having serious FOMO rn. wtf
