Dark Purple, wtf?

Those are the fuckers that had the red Mark I wanted and would not answer the phone or respond to my emails.

That thing has an absurd body kit. I don't mind it aside from the grill, but I do sort of like the flat look.

If you guys want good spring clips, find a Snap-On guy or Matco. I've been using them for years with no issues.

Snap on tools are pricey, we have a truck come by and I see something and want it.. then see the price and I'm like fo-get-it. I mainly buy Chraftsman tools just because of the great warranty.. and especially if your snap on truck driver knows you break stuff a lot and decided to stop coming around, lol.

 

 

The clips are not expensive.

The tools are and damn worth it for people who make their living with them. Crapsman has it's place, but I guarantee if you did what I do everyday, you would pay the money for the better tools.

 

I have several craftsman tools, but honestly they are the ones that get used the least. I bought several over 20 years ago when they were still decent, but most have broken and been replaced by their newer shit that does not hold up. I have a set of standard wrenches (from ~9/32 to 1 1/2) that are decent, but the most common wrenches (5/16, 3/8, 1/2, 9/16, 3/4, 13/16) have all been replaced by MAC wrenches. All my Crapsman ratchets are no longer.

 

The vast majority of my tools are MAC, and I have about ~$130-150 grand worth of hand/specialty tools (excluding electrical, diagnostic, and scan tools). Honestly their ratchets break gears all the time. I have recently bought ~$750 worth of Snap-On ratchets over the past few months and I find they are much nicer. 80 teeth as opposed to 72 teeth, and they are really holding up under a lot of abuse. I put big cheater pipes on my stuff, and over the past 3 months I have had then they are really dealing with my abuse. I have snapped handles with the way I treat my ratchets, but these Snappys are nice.

 

But the MAC flank drive wrenches I have are ~15 years old. I have never broken one, but I have lost a few. I got the extra length wrenches, which they do not offer any more, and with 15 years of hard use they have lasted. All my wrenches are MAC (aside from my standard stuff) and I have about $1500 in wrenches, most of my screw drivers, all my pliers (again, over $1500 in pliers), almost all of my sockets (easily $7500 worth), my digital torque/angle wrenches and so many more hand tools are all MAC. Although my clicker torque wrenches all Matco (older stuff, before they artificially inflated their prices).

 

For home use Craftsman is OK. But for those of us who make a living from our tools and demand durability, there is no comparison between most Craftsman and professional level tools like MAC, or Snappy. Matco is overpriced now a days, and Cornwell... do they exist any more?

 

So I'm trying to catch up in the H0P but Sean have you ever looked into DDWRT for your router?

The router started giving me a lot of grief today so I went ahead and tried it out. One thing I noticed when I booted it up is it said my TX Power was 17 when default is normally 71. I tuned it up and noticed better gains with a wifi analyzer app on my phone.

Figured its worth a shot. It's stupid simple to do.

I've done jack

 

My new Dark Night router is the fucking shit.

If it were flat black and $10k less even with the funky body kit perhaps. The flat is sort of neat. Pretty obvious why they took pics at night though. That being said, who the fuck is going to buy it.

I like it. Color aside.

[Tirefryr 1,742]

I absolutely LOVE my 80T Snap-On ratchets! I will not buy from them anymore though as my local guy is a fucking asshole! Cornwell visits me every two weeks and i buy from him exclusively now just because he's a great guy and reliable.

[dem beats 1,223]

What do you like about the new unit Seth? Getting better speeds etc?

Are you using the antennas or just skipping that?

He upgraded from Dial up.

[dem beats 1,223]

I have a set of craftsman socket wrenches. They have done me well, but I am actually getting annoyed with them as of late. Not so smooth for action and a bit of rust on some of them randomly.

Is there a way to oil then up and revive them?

[dem beats 1,223]

Never mind yo

[jonbearsmt 919]

i cant seem to get my 80prs to auto shit.. .no EQ no TA...  it was used.. do i need to reset it?

[MKader17 332]

Stick around Deere for a while, you'll understand what I meant.

.?

[dem beats 1,223]

my 880 may have died. It has been having problems recently.

[dem beats 1,223]

I used a damn razor once and my neck is already broken out. Once yesterday and my wuss skin is acting up.

Damnit.

[dem beats 1,223]

And I need to buy more juice for my Brauns cleaning system. Fuckers. Might be time for a new cartridge too. They should last a year though right?

Not sure I tried the auto once, fucking awful.

[///M5 2,833]

Yes. Hell I haven't used the cleaning system in years. Forgot I had one, lol

Mine last about that long.

[Impious 1,476]

Had my stereo all planned out in my head for a year.....start working on it this week and my damn midbass aren't going to fit in my door like I'd hoped. Window regulator motor is completely in the way. Fuck.

[///M5 2,833]

That sucks Brad.

 but your a hard core SQ head... im a  just a wanna be... so i figure maybe it would be close enough.. and then i may get the ole tape mesure out another time...

 

 i have a show in the morning... maybe i should leave it alone for now...

 

 

 that is the best way right to take a tape.. and  measure from each speaker to my face.. one by one

[///M5 2,833]

No adjustment sounded better than auto...

Do you really need to be able to roll down your windows?

[ssh 924]

[dem beats 1,223]

I always use auto set ups in home HT to get a base. Then adjust.

Then I go back to no auto set up and adjust. I get different results. What that tells me is that doing it by your ear is the best way and subjective even to yourself in the same room.

The auto function for 5.1 is much much more useful than for stereo however.

Just my .02

[ssh 924]

Anything with a small neo motor in lieu?
