I can’t resist bright orange plastic.

I’m more of a Slytherin myself
cries in Hitachi
And bosch
TIL they make more than just
vibratorsmassagersthey don’t make those anymore, they didn’t want to be associated with the image so they sold it off. they do make excavators and submarines though, in case your mom is looking for a replacement
I like the philosophy of buying the cheap color first and then buying the sturdier color – if the first one breaks.
Same! I have a ton of harbor freight and Ryobi tools that work great. I’ve replaced a few over the years with fancier versions as they wear or break.
I want a makita impact driver. Deeply. Tho that teal thrills me not at all.
Teal is my favorite color and yet I own no Makita. I’m very agnostic otherwise. Have things in all the other “houses” plus Harbor Freight brands and Kobalt.
Cheap > breaks > upgrade is my motto
Here’s the thing. There’s more to good tools than breaking less. They also work better. Stronger motor. Smoother action. Longer battery life. Less stripping.
Dropping $300 on the makita impact driver kit is worth it. And I intend to do it.
needs to be an opposite color to whichever drawer they’ll be stored in.
About as important as with people.
You are obsessed with race. It’s very popular in the usa right now. Sometimes I do it ironically.
The brighter the better?
is a dildo a tool
Not at all in itself. But the blue bosch (professional grade, as opposed to the consumer grade green) is generally pretty high quality, so I stick with that lineup for tools that I need beyond the stage where any cheap brand will do.
I do like Bosch. Tho that blue never did much for me.
I have one of their little 12 v driver combos. Impact and drill. It’s pretty sweet.
Is that the flexiclick system thingy where you can switch out the head?
I’ve been looking at buying that myself when I finally need a drill for myself but I keep being tempted by the 18V version which has the same system but also has battery compatibility with a larger range of their other tools (at a much higher pricepoint…)
Not flexiclick. 2 separate drivers sold together (with 2 batteries and charger). One drill, the other impact. I recall it not being too crazy expensive. But ya, only 12v.
Their green lineup is fine. But as someone who used to go through multiple drill batteries every day at work, I’ve learned to appreciate the 18V stuff. So when I needed to replace my cheap drill at home, it was a simple choice. And I later bought a circular saw, and it’s nice to have interchangeable batteries and only one charger: All of my tools have their own battery, and I always have one extra in the charger that is good to go when needed.
I just recently broke my craftsman impact driver. It was 20v. Good for the $80 tho it didn’t carry a charge too well. Strong enough. Lasted 5 years. Snapped something inside it 4 days ago. Crass, cheap red with black detailing.
I feel like it’s a set up for a joke.
I always insist on colors within the visible spectrum.
I usually don’t care what color the person that sells them to me is, but I could become concerned about their health if they have blueish or purple hues and might refuse to purchase products from people who are orange.
You’re going to have to answer to the blue man group.
I just bought an 8V USB-C chargeable drill set off AliExpress. It just happens to be bright pink. Not sure if I’m giving the right impression at the men’s shed.
Pink is fine. 8V power tools from AliExpress is not.
Colors you can differentiate from one another by type (power vs hand vs misc) and see from a distance so they hard to misplace. I use dewalt for powertools, kobalt for hand tools, and bright, but different colors for everything else e.g. pony clamps, neon craftsman levels. This makes it easy to put everything away, and spot when you are looking for them in the middle of working and you don’t know where you put something. Several thumbs up for a random, but interesting question!
i don’t want anything to have colors on it i want it made of metal and electrocuting me constantly
I like Bosch green and Kärcher yellow. Not really pretty, but kind of iconic.
All the bosch here are blue. I keep hearing about the green but never saw it. Maybe it’s a European thing. Or maybe our eyecells differ.
Okay I looked it up. Holy shit. Yeah there’s green ones I never saw them before
Doesn’t matter. Long as the tool lasts and does its job.
It isn’t.
It’s a tool. Not a fashion accessory.
Are you sure?
