    Have you chosen one brand's power-tools platform?

    Me and a friend of mine plan* to try our 230mm angle grinders to chop up an old and rusty trailer he has laying in backyard. ...That is, we did plan (now past tense) to use both (we have one each) at the same time until we saw the specs. on them. 240 V, 2000 W. Times 2. And he only has 10 Amp...

    Have you chosen one brand's power-tools platform?

    The algorithm works in mysterious ways. 🙂 Thanks though, I didn't know wire cups and wire wheels existed for angle grinders well. I just ordered a bunch of them for a drill. And not sure what this is, but I ordered a pair of these as well just to see what they do. If this is a "flap flat"...

    Discontinued things you still wish were made today

    Yes! Where are the modern equivalents of that!? You keep that Gorenje baby pampered. That's one of the good ones. Ours is a Zanussi FLS 1224 C - and it's so old, Google doesn't even have an image of it. Newer model, but this is the closest I could find. The 2 dials are Temperature (goes up to...

    New Fireflylite Flashlights arrived! They are absolutely amazing!

    I have a trio of their older PL47MU. E21A 3800K mix mule light. Current equivalent offering is the L60-Mu Aura. Close-up here, and for scale here. FireFlies is actually the brand that introduced me (and got me hooked) on the Nichia E21A. Excellent lights, but they get quite hot - it's 9...

    Discontinued things you still wish were made today

    A question on the first part. I got a Convoy S12 850 nm IR - is the light from that supposed to be visible? Because I think I got some IR sensitivity too. I hadn't tried it before, but based on what you said, I brought it with me into the one completely dark room we have in the house. And I...

    On that note, I found this video interesting. "Which Sunglasses Color Is Best?" EDIT: Red tints are mentioned @ 10:00 presicely for snow sports.

    Discontinued things you still wish were made today

    Don't remind me... Today it's all detergent auto dosing, automatic water usage, smart weight sensing program selection, the machine starts on its own whether it's ready or not...and you are notified through the app when something breaks, but not saying what is wrong or what to do, because the...

    Poor man's Gatorade.

    I used to put ketchup on just about everything before. But my stomach did not like it at all. Turned out I am intolerant to vinegar, and pretty much everything containing vinegar. It's too acidic for me. So now I have switched to red pesto.

    Poor man's Gatorade.

    After some longer sessions working outside in the sun last summer, my go-to remedy for replenishing whatever was lost to sweating was a bottle of tap water (we have a local pumping station, delivering water from a mountain lake to the surrounding rural area - the water coming to our taps and...

    Who Is A Fan: Rosy

    Unless I am missing something, you can safely leave Team Greens mantle in the dirt where it belongs. I don't think we're discusing preferring a Positive DUV or Negative DUV, and a Green tint it not a Yellow tint I would argue. I definitely prefer a Yellow tint (Positive DUV), which as you say...

    Who Is A Fan: Rosy

    Ooh, that sounds like fun! ^^ Mind you, the trippiest experience I have had was when I was a kid at a LAN-party. And after ~36 hours awake and having spent the last 16 of them playing Counter-Strike...when my mother had come to pick me up Sunday night and we were driving home, a car approached...

    True, true - where there is no innovation, there is also little need for discussion. I am not following the emitter manufacturers at all though. So whether they innovate or not, I have no idea. Come to thnk of it, I haven't even checked when the 519A or E21A was released - or what the newest...

    Your example sums up the experience I have gained here over, I would say, the last 3 years. In my case, my personal economy changed to where I could actually buy the lights I wanted and got recommended. Before that, what good would the knowledge do me, if I couldn't act on it. Partly hence my...

    I stand firmly by my opinion that everyone should have a hobby. Doesn't matter what it is, so long as they enjoy it. And every hobby I can think of, once it gets serious enough, is expensive. Whether it's stamps, pieces of art, cars or flashlights. And that is fine, because if they can afford...
