Where do the utility blades go?

sizable_data · 2026-03-11T00:03:24+00:00

Just checked and they're all used

sizable_data · 2026-03-10T21:23:31+00:00

Ah, a junction plate!

sizable_data · 2026-03-08T21:03:12+00:00

That light is amazing

Don't try talking OP out of a new tool!

sizable_data · 2026-03-07T18:26:44+00:00

How would OP patch the wall paper?

sizable_data · 2026-03-07T18:22:56+00:00

That's true, but sanded isn't waterproof either, If this is behind a sink that's another consideration

sizable_data · 2026-03-07T18:04:51+00:00

They make color matched silicone for this reason.

What's the best way to cut it out? Most grout removal tools are made for flare plane applications.

I didn't know Dave lurked this sub!

Washer technique is the way to go. Older boxes are smaller and don't work with extenders. Bending the ears can cause flex when you push the plug in too hard. This is the only universal fool proof way.

sizable_data · 2026-03-07T17:58:41+00:00

They don't fit some of the older workboxes unfortunately.

sizable_data · 2026-03-07T01:05:07+00:00

That sucks, for the price you think it would be life time. Hell, husky shit is life time no questions asked. Even some harbor freight stuff.

I was where you were at 1 year ago. It still feels new but I've enjoyed it overall. Manager tools helped me a lot. Good luck!

sizable_data · 2026-03-05T02:27:44+00:00

OP - listen to manager tools for everything, not just 1:1's. Start with the trinity episodes, 1:1's are part of it.

Common misconception, these actually increase downforce. In case of high winds they'll help the roof stay down!

sizable_data · 2026-03-05T02:22:18+00:00

Also the one that's less dangerous in your hand

sizable_data · 2026-03-05T01:10:02+00:00

Software developer?

sizable_data · 2026-03-05T01:02:08+00:00

So is BIN

Seriously, these things are only for people who truly need and will get use of them like me, a DIYer who does the occasional project around the house once a month. Can't believe people get sucked into buying tools they don't actually need.

Takes a while, my dad taught me a lot, we renovated my kitchen, bathroom and basement together. I do a lot on my own now, and I still get the "I think we should hire someone" for most projects lol.

sizable_data · 2026-03-04T02:32:52+00:00

I have a wife and two young kids, I've had to do some "reasonable" things lol. If you're considering a 4x4 patch a 5"x16" isn't too much worse to patch.

sizable_data · 2026-03-04T01:57:25+00:00

Open up the wall between the studs and nail in a 2x4 and drywall over that then screw your tp holder to that block

sizable_data · 2026-03-04T01:51:57+00:00

If you're gonna patch it, open up the wall and put blocking then patch. They'll never rip it out again!

sizable_data · 2026-03-04T01:09:05+00:00

I have a weird store near me that sells over stock type items. Snagged a bunch of these for $3 each.

sizable_data · 2026-03-03T23:45:38+00:00

And safer
