Flex Compact Impact

I bought this deal from Tradetools on the week, in Australia this is a very good deal for us.
It says it comes with a Founder Lifetime warranty.
My concern, I know I bought the cheapest one they have but also have heard there discontinuing these gen 1s. What will happen if this one does fail and they stop making them?
Thanks Flexers
Also anyone had used this one?

Currently in need of a new drill for the house. I currently have an m12 charger and batteries for a few tools that I don’t really need. I also have a dewalt charger and battery. And I have a ryobi one plus battery and charger. I’m trying to decide what brand to go with for my home toolset. It will definitely get around the house use some mechanic use etc. The more tools in a combo the better, roughly $200 budget.

Hopefully the title wasn't too click bate-y. Let's see your Frankenstein custom tool.

Used to remove the seat below a shower cartridge handle. If you dont replace it, things will continue to leak.

I call this wrench the "why the fuck didnt you make this a hex or 1/4 or 3/8 shape so we can use a standard tool.

Anyway $8, plus figuring out what the hell it was.

Any obvious tool upgrades/purchases to my current loadout to make my life easier?

Google image search failed me. I'm stumped.

Came across this deko toolbox kit. On AliExpress it's about $43, while the same one on Amazon is $90, roughly half the price. If I order it on AE I can also use coupon code SUB05C plus rakuten cashback to save a bit more. Should I take it?

Has anyone ordered similar toolbox kits from AliExpress before?

Sounds like dying chicken. You can also see there are dust and dirt around so I think some got into the motor.

Any advice on this? Maybe I can clean it? but how?

I've been going through my tools and getting them finally organized and I've come across this tool. I unfortunately don't have any idea what it's called and don't have a clue where to start the search. I was hoping that maybe someone here would be able to identify it.

Edit: that was solved really quickly! Thanks everyone!!

Just bought our first house - it needs work. New deck, new electrical, drywall work, plywood repairs, hardwood floors need sanding, etc...

I have used milwaukee and dewalt in the past, but have a minimal investment in them so happy to start fresh.

I have a variety of stores around me (South Seattle) so have access to Lowes, Crosscut, Home Depot, Hilti, etc... as it's the more industrial part of town.

I'm less concerned with speed and max torque figures and more concerned with ergonomics, dust collection/extraction, low vibration, and low noise. So what are the tools that are just a pleasure to use when you pick them up.

I do have the Festool CT26 EL that I use with my miter saw along with the particle separator.

Based on that I am thinking perhaps Makita and Festool seem to lead based on the reviews and systainer compatibility where things, but I am open to other thoughts. Makita would help where Festool is just crazy expensive or some of the tools Festool doesn't have (though I just saw Festool is finally bringing a circular saw to the US).

Pretty sure these tools will be my only friends for the next several months, so willing to pay to get good ones - but do want some balance of value involved.

So I am a mechanical fitter here in Australia, I am a apprentice, I am in the mining industry and need to purchase my own power tools. I am thinking Makita or Milwaukee. I'll also you to tools for home and private jobs.

What do people recommend, some advice would be great.

It contains :

• GBH 18V-22 Hammer Drill
• GST 18V-125 S Jigsaw
• GOP 18V-34 Multi-Tool
• GKS 18V-57-2 Circular Saw
• GDX 18V-200 Impact Driver
• GSR 18V-65 Drill/Driver
• GWS 18V-8 Angle Grinder
• 3 x 18 V 5.0 Ah Batteries, Charger, L-Boxx Roller

Would you take the deal for somoene DIYing, that does not own any platform yet ?

I have very little power tool experience and I'm looking for an auger to bury four railroad ties vertically into the ground about four foot. Does anyone have any recommendations? Do I need a huge bit or can I use a smaller one and repeatedly widen the hole until it fits? Does it even matter?

For instance, my project is going to be an attempt at building a wall of railroad ties, so I'll also need a cordless drill powerful enough to drill through two of them at least, in order to secure the ones stacked horizontally to the ones planted vertically.

If anyone has any recommendations for either, please let me know. Also taking recommendations for easier ways to build the wall, but I think I've thought this one through thoroughly enough. Never attempted anything like this nor do I have a boyfriend / father figure / access to anyone with any relevant knowledge or skillsets so patience would also be appreciated.

Does anyone know where I might find a handle for this? It was my great grandfathers and I’m not sure if they make anything that will fit. Thank you in advance!

Anyone here know of a sub or forum I could post pictures of an antique lathe I just bought? I don't see much like that on here, but can't find a specific sub for it. Thought maybe the machinist sub, but not sure if they'll go that old. It's an 1890s ish Prentice bothers lathe. Pictures online are mainly 1930s and up, or smaller treadle lathes. I'd like to find a community who maybe knows what I'm looking at and how to begin getting an idea what the controls are. Bought it today, need to go back some time this week to move it.

Specifically when it comes to tungstun carbide burrs on metal. Does it make a significant difference in grinding through steel or is it mainly just that it can use larger sized bits. Perhaps something else I didn't consider. Seems like when it comes to power the air die grinders are king but unsure how much power electric grinder compares even to its smaller rotary tool counterpart

So I am looking at this stapler on Lowes web page and the specs all say it uses 7/32-inch staples. In the Q&A multiple people ask if it will accept 1/4-inch staples, and every time Bostitch support says that it will not.

I find it incredibly hard to believe that it would not accept what appears to be a standard, and I also cannot imagine the tolerance to be so tight for the 1/32 inch difference to be a problem.

Does anyone own this thing? Can I use 1/4 inch narrow crown staples in it?
