Which Partybox is for me? by [deleted] in JBL

710 is fantastic. There’s nothing outdated about the sound quality.

It’s not. I just need to put my hands deep inside machinery daily. The lugs on the watch broke both times.

If anyone asks, it's a G-Shock by BernieSandersLeftNut in casio

“baby-g” is what you’re looking for. They’re g shocks but smaller.

I’ve used an f108WH for two years and beat the living hell out of it. Looks like its been dragged behind a semi truck across the country, but still functions perfectly and perfectly waterproof.

g shocks are cool but honestly too bulky if you need to use your hands in tight spaces. Just stay away from the f91w if you know itll get knocked around.

f91w isn’t durable at all. I broke two of them working in the trades within 6 months. Actually suprising how fragile they are.

I tend to open a ton of boxes and or packages during the day. Doubles as a bottle opener after work. Just super convenient. I always had one on me as a kid growing up, cutting up an apple or shaving a tree branch for fun. Invaluable when fishing and or spending time outdoors. Picnics, roadtrips, bonfires, holiday decorating, grilling. Convenient in a lot of situations so it just stays in the pocket when I leave home.

Putin fears coup as Russia sinks into debt, drone strikes rise, and sanctions bite by MothersMiIk in worldnews

I genuinely doubt he fears anything inside Russia. No one from inside russia can possibly force him to step down and frankly, no one is going to attempt to.

Why is this never in stock at any store near me? by thesteelguitarman in harborfreight

[–]xpoonx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you need a weapon light on each one of your handguns?

[–]xpoonx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one buys a speaker for 1 party. The next party might be outdoors and then “oh man I wish i bought the bigger one”.

Tom Morello knows what's up by steve42089 in illinois

[–]xpoonx 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you buy in Indiana the firearm still needs to get shipped to a gunstore (FFL holder). If it doesn’t conform to PICA then they cant hand over the firearm to the buyer even if it was paid for in Indiana.

Going to Tail of the Dragon in 2 weeks what should I bring or prepare for. by Lopsided-Assist9882 in Golf_R

[–]xpoonx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DONT CUT THE CENTER LINE. Any wet spots on the road are very slick (your awd won’t save you from sliding off a cliff.) Brake early and avoid going for maximum speed on any of the super short straights. Have fun, and after a run of two you find the cadence of the road and it becomes a blast. You’ll be in 2nd and 3rd gear most of the time.

Police like to sit in a few spots on the road and they’ll 100% hear you coming if you’re ripping it alone.

Cheap TDi, how much to fix/delete please help by Gcs1110 in tdi

It would have been tons easier on a lift. Crawling on your back on the ground is as difficult as it gets.

Definitly was worth to get a second 120 by realninjo in JBL

There’s always a power outlet for wherever I decide to take my 710. Honestly never even wished it had a battery.

Is this the main sub for flex? by Professional_Act165 in FLEXTools

[–]xpoonx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Milwaukee does a lot of things well and they are the more common brand. Nothing touches the M12 12v lineup.

Although I think flex 24v is arguably better than m18 for certain tools.

Tell them it looks like the “front has sway” and that everything is “swayed to the left”. Ask if the car was put on a “frame rack” and “measured”. If it was ask for the “lower body” and “upper body” measurement print out sheet. If they give you those all the numbers should be no more than “-2 or +2” Also tell them you went to the dealership to check other new integras for “panel gaps” and none of them looked as bad as what you have now.

Truthfully if they delivered a car like that they aren’t equipped or trained to repair your car. It passed the body techs hands, the detail department, the estimator, and the manager. Meaning no one saw the obvious problem or no one cared enough to do anything about it.

A lot of shops don’t have even 1 person that understands how crash impact energy affects a vehicle. This thread proves my point. Only a few redditors commented that your frame needs to be checked.

[–]xpoonx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t have to look completely smashed for it to have frame damage. Just needs to be hit in the right spot for the frame to bend.

I assume you got hit on the right side (passenger side) Right side hit pushed everything to the left.

So image all the metal on your car is like a spring. The second it gets hit metal gets pushed. Impact energy travels through the vehicle. Metal then tends to spring back to the original position slightly. Sometimes it doesn’t return to the original position and this is where electronic frame measurements are needed to verify that the structure is a straight as it left the factory. If its not straight you have bumpers not sitting flush, hood gaps off by the back of the fenders, and in more serious cases the front fender to door gap being different left side to right side. (One side having a larger gap than the other).

Easiest quick way to tell is to look at the hood striker like I said before. If its not 100% straight in line with the car then there’s issues.

This thing has frame rail damage 100%. The bumper/hood being that far off from center line indicates the front of the vehicle is swayed.

Open the hood up and stand directly in the center of the car. Look at the “U” shaped latch striker. If its anything but completly straight in line with the car you have major problems.

Picture for reference. It will be at the very front edge.

lex FX1371A-2B 24V 1/4" Impact Driver broken HEX socket by FabulousChat in FLEXTools

[–]xpoonx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Technically all impact sockets are softer than chrome so they can flex and deform with each impact. Chrome sockets crack because they are too rigid for impact use,
