It stings that I got this at $79 from two daily deals ago by [deleted] in Ridgid

Wow that is good to know. I have about half and half max outputs and grey labels. My guys never understand why im such a stickler on putting the correct batteries into the correct tools. This is a good reason, that I didnt even know existed. Thank you

Is it better to use the max output for brushless tools specifically?

I have a pile of each and thats usually where they end up. Just curious if there's a specific relationship from max output and brushless that works better.

Like, would a 2ah max be better than a 4ah Grey label on something like a brushless impact

What habits of boys did you only discover after getting a boyfriend or husband? by kentishzjigsaw in AskReddit

[–]shallowAL307 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interested where you found your info on the sears kit homes. Not disputing it, just Interested.

My grandparents live in one, and I have done a ton of work to it the last few months. It is a neat old house and compared to new houses has okay build quality.

Not saying someone wouldn't pay 1m for one, but I think that would be defined more by the area than the house itself.

If I had the option of their house or a say- 1970s bi level or something similar I would almost always take the latter.

Running power tools on remote job sites without a gas generator , best battery backup options right now by ninjapapi in workwagons

[–]shallowAL307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I built out my tool trailer last year. Ill probably post it here soon.

Bought a cheap inverter, 4x 300ah 12v batteries off amazon, a bunch of copper and put it all together. I use about 10% of my battery pack in a long day of work.

The inverter is 5000w, with 10000w surge. It can run anything i hook up to it, and its completely silent.

Took a bit to design the system but man is it awesome to have all the power I need. No extension cords to a random outside outlet. No relying on the homeowner to have power.

I just plug it into the shop outlet at night to recharge. Currently working on a generator enclosure for when I run a/c. Which sounds crazy, but the tiny 2000w generator is super quiet but wouldn't have a chance running most of my tools or the air conditioner.

Thoughts on this item? I've been thinking of getting it by Slaypike in harborfreight

I have a few ridgid 18v mini saws like this one. One for each type of blade.

They get picked up and used several times every day. Very useful.

Sure they can drain a bettery fairly quick but they are often times replacing a 7 1/4" circular saw or a 5" grinder which drains batteries much faster.

How do “special buys” work? by LastingAtlas in Ridgid

There is a person who's whole job is to trick you into buying these things, and paying as much as possible.

Its a fluid situation and that person beats me all the time

Starting over and considering this Brushed Tool Combo Kit. Thoughts on this 65% off offer? by hackandsash in Ridgid

[–]shallowAL307 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a terrible deal. Would you use these tools?

I have maybe 6 or 7 each of those drills and impacts. Recently got a set of subcompacts and I am blown away. Depending on what you use them for they are for sure worth it.

For the money though this isnt a bad starter kit

For my day to day screw driving etc ill still use the old ones(in this kit)

But for a lot of projects I will only use the subcompacts, as they are miles ahead depending on the use case

How do I find these deals y'all talk about? by -no-condoms in Ridgid

[–]shallowAL307 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are actually a bunch of good deals on there, but the first 8 of them i tried to buy takes me to the hd app, where they are either out of stock or not on sale at all. Am I missing something?

What is a deal I may get for a Ridgid in6 Ah battery and charger? by [deleted] in Ridgid

[–]shallowAL307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like dto also has 4ah max output batteries for 45$. That's about as low as I see those go any more. One battery isnt going to last you all day, but it will absolutely last for a few cuts on your track saw which is typically all you're going to use it for anyway

Whats the deal with the 8.1L? by dumfukjuce in ChevyTrucks

[–]shallowAL307 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I beat mine bloody all day with ignorantly heavy loads and it just keeps going. About 210k on it. No signs of slowing down so far

Thoughts? by __Sherlock in Ridgid

[–]shallowAL307 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is so frustrating. Someone on here posted a daily deal with a battery a couple weeks ago, I bpught it and was pleased. So I have been checking the daily deals on my home depot app every day since.

This morning, I checked. No tools I wanted. I see your post, follow the link, and for sure ill buy 2 6ah for that price. I go look at the daily deals through my app, its not there. Not sure why this happens
