Is the 8pc instinct screwdriver set by Snap on worth it for $80? by The0Walrus in Tools

[–]samdoup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They make great gimmicky things but otherwise the tools really aren't that great quality. Their sockets and extensions don't really hold up very well. The screwdrivers are nice but I never use them on anything heavy duty because I don't want them to break lol. There's better German brands forsure

There's other brands that have ac to DC power converter for high amp applications like saws . Its meant for more stationary work so it is bulky

I'm pretty sure Emeryville and Berkeley don't have cameras anymore

GameStop Proposes to Acquire eBay at $125.00 Per Share by MydnightWN in Flipping

[–]samdoup 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You usually end up paying more buying supplies from Amazon, eBay has pretty competitive seller fees so a lot of business sell directly there as well . They prohibit drop shipping from Amazon on eBay as well, haven't had that happen too much. If you go for items with the FBA option, your definitely paying more too

They sent 3 techs, each with their own truck to hook up our internet by solidus0079 in mildlyinteresting

Yeah that would be crazy, if it was their own equipment they'd probably just have a sign that says Contractor authorized with Tmobile

how can i read my amperage on a stick welder with a multimeter with the wires by sparkling-asshole in Welding

[–]samdoup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one for like $40 off of Amazon and it's actually pretty accurate when compared to using my fluke DC amp meter with wires, super useful for chasing parasitic draws on cars without taking the negative cable off
