>They can be used to build all sorts of things
Such as?

>>2792505
Anything that requires two metal tubes to be joined at 90 degree angle

can i make one myself? why shouldn't i just weld my metal tubes together at a 90 degree angle?

>>2792481
nice fat backend for roll stability on my hilly, rutted road

>>2792483
Fill the tires up with bull semen for more stability.

>>2792465
do you have a "farm store" in your area?
and yes, t posts have gotten retarded expensive in last few years

>>2792467
Yeah i would have thought the one i posted would be it
Where do construction sites get them in big bundles?
At that price i will quickly blow my budget

Jesus. Last time I bought new ones they were around $7 each if I remember right. Damn glad I have a surplus of them and every time I tear out an old fence i can salvage about 98% of them for re-use.

>>2792465
did you even bother looking around

>>2792542
Im leaf but it might be worth a trip

>>2792463
thanks for the detailed breakdown. I'll probably be ok, but if I run into trouble I can't imagine reciting all that to a perfect stragner. Maybe I'll reconsider the personal project and look around for one that doesn't involve a deep knowledge of technical matter.

>>2792461
don't worry, the part time, minimum wage kid or mexican working at lowes won't have a clue even if you know exactly what you're looking for

>>2792468
yeah this is the truth. the worker will point him to something pretty much unrelated and op wont be able to get out the poor suggestion and will buy it to then drive to a different store with a different layout completely unprepared and the situation will be 100 times worse. good luck op you shouldnt have gotten out of your pod

>>2792461
find an independent hvac contractor shop and swing by on a friday afternoon (kill the clock time) and hopefully they'll have the roll up door on the shop open. introduce yourself as a fucking idiot trying to figure shit out and you'll probably get a good 5 minute course on the subject. have a sketch of what you want to do and be open to suggestions. the cost of this primer will be the shop rats will have a good laugh at your expense after you leave

>>2792461
you can just ask here you aspie

>>2792485
then why did you say "at best it just spins". find someone who has held a wrench to learn you some skills

>>2792490
How about you put down the wrench and learn some reading comprehension.

Imagine faking manhood being this inept

Take straight pin push in groove under broken clip
Push clip from other side …bingo
Go away

>>2792548
Doesn't work you absolute shit for brain.

If that pic is inside your house I'd say you've already maxed out the potential and can spend all that spare cash on sex, drugs, and rock and roll.

>>2792436
buy neighbors house and demolish it and turn that property into a gigantic fenced off back yard and get a big hot tub and make a small skatepark and learn how to shred a half pipe. and put a slide from my bedroom window into the backyard.

I have a handheld one that's just for spot cleaning, can use it on anything, carpet, upholstery, clothing. It might ruin some delicate fabrics but cotton does fine.

>>2792423
Same as this anon, a green one. It’s okay. It’s gotten pretty gross over the years but it keeps my fabrics pretty clean as long as I use it quickly after the stain occurs. For stuff that’s set in it helps but I think you need something more powerful and/or to accept the limitations of reality?

I'm okay with it.

The ceiling sperm is watching you...

It's pointless the only solution is to burn the whole thing to the ground and build a new one.
OP is just in denial about reality.

>>2792406
No Jerome. You can't go in.

bait bait bait fucking bait. they put those things up during construction for safetl/liability but they have to remove them and put proper steps or deck before it can be sold.

>>2792406
If need help to remove this you do not need to he installing stairs. If you are having someone install stairs for you they will take it off.

It is a dont sue me because your dumbass face planted out the back door

>>2792429
plastic to metal is horrible bro if you use similar metal connection you can cross thread plastic to metal is worse.

I just don't wanna fuck up my eley reel cause of some shitty anodized aluminum connection.

>>2792437
>>2792471
>electrical insulation a primary concern on a fucking garden hose
The Nigga Whats are off the scale, Doc.

>>2792472
If you're super duper cereal concerned about galvanic corrosion at the connectors then don't mix metals. Steel to steel, brass to brass, aluminum to aluminum, plastic yeeted directly into the nearest dumpster where it belongs, etc.

>>2792478
Yes this a high IQ thread discussing electrochemical effect and currents that happen from two dissimilar metals and charge balances.

>>2792471
>worrying about fresh water conductivity
Get a life, breh.

>>2792396

I avoid them like the plague. Galvanic corrosion is a bitch, and the fitting WILL be (possibly permanently) seized if you leave it attached. Unless your hose bibbs are also aluminum (in which case lol), it's absolutely worth looking for brass connections specifically.

Even plastic is better. Not great, but at least you won't have to get the angle grinder out to remove the hose once you need to change it. Already had to do that twice. Even the thickest anodization won't save you. It WILL scratch (a significant portion of outdoor dust is made of alumina, so the hardness of the anodized layer doesn't matter), and, once that happens, corrosion of the rest of the fitting follows fairly quickly.

>>2792379
Ok, yeah, I did think so, drill bit and spanner bit for recessed heads, dremel for accessible heads

But what if you have, say, an M1.0 screw, in a recess? You'd be fucked

That and the manufacturer does not deserve my transparency

>>2792381
Use the one with holes in it for those Allen sizes

The security hex and security Torx will also take off hex and Torx without the security nub

I use my ifixit kit to modify snap-on dual 80 series ratchets

Allow me to clarify: I want to aggressively go to the limits of the law, to solve problems I have not yet come across, to spite all manufacturers, including those I've never heard of.

I want all the data on all the screwdrives, especially those used on consumer products, such as the ones in the image, which is used in Toyota electric car batteries iirc

>>2792395
Look up patents. There will/might be scale drawings in there.

Also there is no "law" to prevent you from owning any type of tool for these. If you want to really become all capable invent a self stopping milling bit capable of eating itself into any fastener head till it stalls to then be used to unthread the fastener and throw it away.

Buy the bit you need when you need it.
Then you never have extra shit you don't need, but you have everything you've needed at least once.

That's my tool philosophy.

>>2792349
you know you can't expose pex to the outdoor sun right? why do you even need hot to your door kitchen to come from your house? just buy one those cheap camp boilers for hot water and connect a small tank just ensure your water lin is below frost line.

OP not just gay but retarded as well

>>2792307
>rent a chainsaw

Jesus. What kind of manlet doesn't have at least one chainsaw?

>>2792307
No, you'll probably kill or maim yourself, chainsaws can be pretty dangerous beasts and trees are trickier than you think.
Get a silkie saw instead. much harder to kill yourself with.

>>2792305
I can help you as long as you give me the information I ask for and take pictures of what I request.
First things I need from you are:
who makes that? looks like briggs & stratton.
the model number which is a series of number stamped in to the cover. could be on the top near the spark plug, could be on the sides, could be on the side opposite the spark plug.

I think that is a pulse a jet carb.

>>2792283
your landlord or maintenance guys are gonna steal the tools from you anyway.

>>2792283
>I can't move

Ever or yet? I suggest doing what I did and do which also prepares you for the future. It's easy to optimize compact shop equipment that's highly mobile by putting your tools,equipment and supplies in/on apartment-friendly industrial plastic carts with non-marring casters and especially medical carts (which sell for thousands new but dirt cheap used) which have features like display arms, backup batteries and space for SFF computers.

>>2792302
>Ever or yet?
Not in the foreseeable future no.
>Corded
>Jigsaw x2
>Drill x2
>Angle grinder
>Drill press
>Circular saw

>Battery
>Drill
Besides the press I have every other tool in their original box, then a bunch tool boxes with hammers, pliers, screwdrivers, spanners, ratchets, etc. a cart will be another thing to occupy space.

>>2792283
Find an affordable 24/7 storage unit place nearby. I know a lot of tradies that live in small apartments but store all their tools in a storage unit. Most have electric outlets.

>>2792283
Why'd you spend all your money on tools you can't use instead of saving it to buy a house?

>>2792281
Good idea. What if someone's too tall and can't fit under the table?

>>2792282
Cut their legs off

>>2792277
he is a degenerate. What did you expect? he spent his life watching porn not learning useful skills.

>>2792285
Actually nvm you could just have them do a upward facing dog position with their hands up and locked in. It'd just be really uncomfortable

Jesus youre weak. Try shoveling 16 ton-of 2” clean in 4 hrs….

>>2792257

yeah sounds like what i thought i saw when i looked into possibly moving there awhile back.
would love to live there if i could afford it.

>>2792427
>>2792469

I did 4 cu yards of mulch today. Shit sucked. However make sure you have a mulch fork and it will go way better than a shovel. For dirt that only really works if it's not super dry though.

>>2792248
i bought the chinkshit variable speed version off amazon (wen brand.) it works fine. i wouldn't waste money on official Dremel™.

>>2792255
Cordless or no?

>>2792258
Almost all of the cordless ones are gutless unless you go with something like the M12, and they also have die grinders which are like a slightly larger dremel. Once you get a 12V battery pack on there though, it’s going to be a bit more bulky for what is considered a precision tool.

Also the Wen might be straight for your uses, but the nice thing about the name brand Dremel is all of the attachments they offer. If you do go name brand Dremel tho, don’t get the cheapest one. It’s not worth buying the name brand if it won’t work with the flexi shaft and router/plunge base and all the cool shit they have. The father in-law had some cordless NiCd one that was fucking awful and I had to grab mine to finish the job.

>>2792258
Never buy cordless. You dont need any flexi shaft or nothing. Just buy a cheap chinese one. It's just a motor in a tube, don't overspend. Make sure it comes with different sized collets for smaller chinese attachments. Always wear eye protection.

>>2792248
Die grinder if you need something with more power than a standard rotary tool. They make corded and pneumatic ones.

>>2792227
what about him? you want him to notice you and kiss you?

>>2792227
But can he edit a Wera unboxing video?

>>2792227
Wera stuff is for these types of dudes

I’m a snap-on/Matco for lower end stuff and nepros for higher end guy myself

I noticed that most guys that are into tools tend to be less informed/dumber

So it’s really easy to build up a tool collection to flex on them if you take advantage of all the discount/review and other programs

>>2792271
>>2792290

You're both tool polishers in every regard.
