Welcome to the IHoP v.2

[Julian 641]

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 I bought several over 20 years ago when they were still decent, but most have broken and been replaced by their newer shit that does not hold up.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(from ~9/32 to 1 1/2) that are decent, but the most common wrenches (5/16, 3/8, 1/2, 9/16, 3/4, 13/16) have all been replaced by MAC wrenches.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.

We have a hodge podge of tools. (I work on air crafts) of snapon, bluepoint, Craftsman, and matco and honestly I think ive seen more broken snap on ratchets than anything, just terrible. The CM ratchets arent that great but I do like, the rarcheting wrenches.

Its more of a preference any tool will break. But I think snapons warranty is like.. 2 years? I cant remember. If I break a ratchet once a year thats fine doesnt bother me as long as I can return it no questions asked lol

[Julian 641]

Fucking protein shake bottles. I swore the lid was shut. Starting shaking and shit flew everywhere in the kitchen.

Been there, done that haha.

What protein do you take? Ive been having a hard time finding protein that actually agrees with my stomach. Most just are heavy and make me sick

[Julian 641]

I will add all three times are at about 5-5:30 hours post Vicadin.

Well I know that I would be taking it every 5 hours then. Hope you feel better man.

Going to time the Ibuprofen to be at peak during the last hour. Figure that might help. And make sure I do no movement hardly at that time.

I would have suggested this if I knew you could take IBU also. Usually when on vicoden they don't like the Tylenol and ibuprofen mix.

its hydrocordone. My wife told me it was vicadin and I didnt look until 5 min ago, lol

I had the worst experience with hydrocodone. I took two on a semi empty stomach, my world started to spin and spin, then I just vomited every where. Just terrible.

An inguinal hernia.

That's ironic. I was contemplating making an old man joke about going in for a hernia.

 

I figured he broke a hip...

SnapOn is lifetime warranty.

Not sure why I thought that. 20 would make you rather young since I am not 40 yet...

 

I said I am 15 to 20 older... and I am if you aren't yet 40.

 

Ha, ok then. Not sure why I thought you were 38. Reading on pain killers > me.

You had to own some uber slow dial up then.

 

 

 

Dude, I remember when we didn't have internet... or Windows. My first "computer" was a Commodore VIC20. We didn't have CDs or DVDs, it had a fucking tape deck for media/storage.

 

My first computer had a C1P processor in it.

 

Ha I remember turning the antenna outside to get the tv less fuzzy. We only had one channel on tv and when is was stormy out, you were outside holding it so other could watch tv.

Advil and rum is my friend tonight. Body is sore as hell from working on the damn haunt!

Why in the world would another manufacturer go to another's section and critique their work?  If my competitors made shit product I'd keep on letting them.

Idiots, they're just testing your patience and knowledge.

To be fair, most everything going on in my early were holdovers from the generation before.

Things move a lot faster in small towns now because of the Internet

I take NOW whey isolate. It's unflavored and mixes well in water. You shouldn't have any problems with it. I bought 10 lbs of some cheaper whey isolate from true nutrition and it made me sick to my stomach like you said.

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

My grandpa found out at a yearly check up he has leukemia.  He's 78 years old.  Doctors said he may have had it for years. hasn't progressed one bit over the past few months

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

Suit people, I need some ideas for wedding tux.  Something "casual" looking like a 007 Tom Ford suit.  Budget is around 3k each from head to toe.  I know NOTHING about attire besides blue jeans and  t-shirts.

I used to take muscle milk with milk and that was Ok, but just way too many calories/sugar. Mixing most protein shakes with water IMO is terrible.

Because you are threatening to them. Simple analogy. You behavior is akin to Don's in the world of deadening and everyone else is the Ben Milne/Kevin of the world. The thing that I find funny is that they are stupid enough to question you as that shouldn't end well for them.

*I know nothing of the tool from Tantric though and had to actually look up where he was from.

So that being said consider a compliment and funny. $10 says they don't have the balls to do it here.

Tape > 11" floppy, lol

I'd say. That or I don't get it.

FUCk. Hope it continues to not progress!!

...and my dad will be 77 this year.

If you know nothing why buy when you can rent? I'd only buy if it were something I could wear for something else. That being said I still wear my wedding suit 10 years later, but I just got a nice Boss Black suit.
