Leeroy Jenkins commented on Daytime Running Lights - They Suck
I'm less worried about these guys than those dumbarses who steer into the opposite lane before they turn.

That's an excuse for shitty user interface design. A well designed system will try to help users do the right thing.

Leeroy Jenkins commented on Does Ryobi Do Any Decent Sales These Days?
The lack of sales also stands out to me. I have some Ryobi tools, like blower, whipper snipper, impact wrench, but I've recently gotten…

If you get them to shave all your hair, it's usually under $20, while the going rate in some of the barbers here are about $35. It can…

My orders from Amazon almost always arrive when they say they will arrive, be it same day, next day or in 2-3 days, it's basically never…

Whatever happens, it's always the honest, law abiding, tax paying citizens that get (profanity) over. I was once robbed by a couple of…

Cm vs mm lol! I'm not sure how to calculate weight distribution when lifting a corner, pretty sure it's not 1/4 of total weight but I don't…

LOL that Kinchrome is 1100kg, definitely sounds like it's for lightweight sports/race car. I quite like the Costco Arcan jack. 2000kg load,…

Leeroy Jenkins commented on Ozito PXC 18V 2.5Ah Battery and Charger PXBC-25B - Kit $19.98 @ Bunnings (in Store Only)
This is great! I just grabbed one of these. Now my Ozito journey starts...

Thanks mate. I got the Ryobi one and I'm happy.

Height Lowered: 112mm That's a dealbreaker for lots. Definitely shouldn't advertise it as "low-profile".

Edit: deleted my comment cuz it might not have been good advice.

Yeah, it's pretty powerful for such a light and small tool. Even with battery, it's still lighter than the IR rattle gun I have.

I'm using an impact wrench to get nuts off, not put them on. I have a breaker bar. But it's like using a scissors jack vs a hydraulic floor…

Haha the car I tried it on has lig nuts tightened at 120nm. I just made them a little tighter to test the new impact wrench.

When I went into the store to buy the tool, I saw the one you have, it's actually not big at all. So I actually debated buying the mid…

That sounds like a much better experience torquing up stuff! Thanks!

Not often. between working on my own car and helping others with theirs. I think on average once every couople of months sounds about right.

Yeah I was looking at Ozito offerings and they are more affordable and it seems a lot of people use their stuff and are happy. I have Ryobi…

That's actually a nice idea that opens up my options. Thanks :)

I've not worked on really tight stuff that I can't break lose with my 1m breaker bar. That said, there are still a lot of parts on the car…

Thanks for the insight! Working on cars is definitely just my hobby. A few years ago, I would have splurged on expensive tools just to have…

Price is the main reason I don't wanna go with Milwaukee, they are very expensive, also I don't have batteries, so battery and charger…

The one you linked is advertised to have 360nm of torque, but the compact brushless is 450nm. I suppose the compact one is more powerful?…

It's the big one in the middle over the hub assembly. Needs a 32mm socket to remove.

Do you recommend Milwaukee because of its reliability or sheer torque it outputs compared to similar Ryobi model? Whether it can crack the…

This is the mid torque model if I'm not mistaken? It appears to be bigger and heavier. Maybe I should not worry about the size and weight,…

Leeroy Jenkins posted a forum topic Need Input on Impact Wrench for Car Maintenance
Hi, I'm in the market for an electric impact wrench. I don't need it to be superpowerful, as long as I can take off wheel lug nuts and…

Yeah, ratchet is easier to use, but the ratcheting mechanism could fail which has happened to some stands. Definitely pin > ratchet

I've used one 4AH knock off bought from eBay for 4 years now. Use it regularly and exclusively on a blower, and it's still going strong.…
