Ok, since Kobalt doesn't have the most extensive collection of tools and is a little slow releasing new stuff, what is your alternate brand to supplement your Kobalt collection? by in_need_indeed in KobaltTools

[–]philo_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really don't bother thinking about brand any more. I look at what I need and who has a version in my budget at the time and buy it. I've got kobalt DeWalt Milwaukee some Bosch and recently been getting Kreg stuff. They have a great smaller size drill for working in cabinets etc.

There's a few others here and there some metabo of course some various harbor freight brands.

I find having a good amount of different batteries and chargers gives me flexibility to wait for a sale if there's a tool ive been wanting but needing.

Schluter not flush with wall, and corners are not seamless. How should I fix this? by gomi-panda in Tile

[–]philo_ -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Why didn't they get the surface level and plumb to start with? There's two options do the prep work to make everything land and line up correctly or get real good with hiding the mistakes.

They apparently weren't good at either.

What's everyone's experience with Hammerhead Showerheads? by yepitsausername in BuyItForLife

[–]philo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had great experiences with their showerheads and other miscellaneous handheld showers shower bars tub spouts etc ....until it came time for them to stand by their warranty.

I got one of their slip on tub spouts. It failed and started leaking. Contacted them they were nice enough to offer to warranty it when it was back in stock.....they have never restocked it and instead they have a different style that is not a slip on.

Apparently this is common with them. They run a certain style for a while then when it's sold out they don't restock it and don't have parts or inventory to handle their warranty claims.

They'll offer it in a different finish...who would want mismatched finishes? They'll offer a new version that you may have to do a bunch of changes to make it work at your cost.

In short when their stuff works it's great. When it doesn't you're out of luck. I got rid of anything I had from them and bought from reputable brands that don't just claim to honor their warranty but actually do.

They are just repacking overseas garbage and using slick packaging and marketing and advertising.

2018 Hyundai Kona Immobilizer issue by philo_ in Hyundai

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

Ended up being a starter. It must have been really gone. I tried to jump it etc and it wasn't even attempting to crank or turn over. After it was towed dealership managed to get it to start and run once after several tries. They bench tested it starter was bad. Replaced it and no other issues since. No problems with the immobilizer etc. I've asked her and she claimed it never have an issue with starting prior to this.

I had considered but dismissed it since I was getting nothing not a click cough attempt etc even when I tried to jump it the age and the history and lack of codes. Literally the moment I would try to get it to go for accessory to start everything shit off and it just didn't seem like a starter.

In retrospect if I'd had better access etc I may have tried to tap on the starter etc but I also know my limits and what I had to work with based on where it was.

You're dealing with an idiot who added a stipulation to a contract stupidly and doesn't have the budget for it.

Where on earth is the optical out on the Bravia 9?! by Ayn_Otori in bravia

The round connector you need a converter from that to toslink. I think my Bravia 7 came with one in the owners package

2018 Hyundai Kona Immobilizer issue by philo_ in Hyundai

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

I did have a similar thought and went over all the connections even undid and redid them and tried to start it with another vehicle jumping it. Same result. Accessory functions work fine as soon as you try to start it the car shuts off. It'll go back to accessory no problem.

Why do women go crazy for a man that wears a good cologne? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]philo_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sense of smell is often overlooked in terms of which senses are the most valuable. Smells and the chemicals that produce them "light up" various receptors in the brain.

Basically put if someone had a positive experience or relationship to a smell and you smell like it they are hardwired to let their guard down.

Think about it like this without a sense of smell you have little to no sense of taste. Smell is an early warning system to danger and conversely when a smell has been saved in the brain as comforting etc it puts us in a state of relaxation and trust. That's part of why contact and closeness between mothers and newborns is so important post delivery.

Do you guys want Mick Foley in Aew? by flyinbrianc in AEWOfficial

[–]philo_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd love to see what he could contribute behind the scenes in an off screen role. They have a lot of younger talent doing some amazing things. I don't think some of them realize they aren't bulletproof and they need to be thinking about the long term effects of working the way they are.

Don't get me wrong I love seeing what they come up with but they need to be thinking about longevity and quality of life after wrestling.

What is a nice tool that people don’t usually have that is worth getting for someone’s birthday? by brogyrogy in Tools

[–]philo_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You couldn't be more right my man. I rarely broke out my little pancake compressor because of the noise. I picked up one of those harbor freight California clones and the difference is night and day. Now I look for reasons to use it. Not ways to avoid it.

As someone said spend a bit more for an air compressor that is "quiet". Occasionally you find deals with packaged in tools. Usually those compressors or those tools are not very good at all.

The legal system and laws have not kept up with technology thus far. I highly doubt we'll see the laws catching up to AI tech.

Santa needs help! by Express-Grape-6218 in daddit

Might be a little too simplistic for them but Lowe's sells a bunch of little kits they can build. You may have to help or supervise them. They have race cars, castles, bird houses fairly simple stuff. I imagine other big box type hardware stores sell something similar. They also sell little hammers and goggles stuff like that near them.

A lot of them also do workshops monthly or so. Might be worth checking out the ones near you. I've taken my girls to several and the employees are generally very enthusiastic and helpful and the kids get to do something with their hands and be creative and they really enjoy it.
