I hate the screw fixing team by me… if you can guess who I am talking about… they told me 0.75mm was sufficient… I always go bigger than what they say, or come here… I think they also said 2 core… they also told me that I need a pro to change a blade of a circular saw and we had to send it...

Yeah, this is what I read, with the drilling a smaller size so the screw teeth have something to bite on. I plan to have a guide of screw size to drill bit size, so hopefully I can print that off and laminate it and I can then leave it somewhere handy. Regarding the drilling, yeah I get a...

I was going out late Wednesday after school run ends, I hate children when they leave school or go to school. Being autistic I need everything worked out before I go to the store where I know I can get bits checked over by someone, checking I have correct size etc. only then I turn to places...

Helllo, it’s not that I didn’t google, my wording makes bad results. My hole needs to be 4 ø and 120mm deep. The drill bit is that long yes, but it won’t drill that deep… it doesn’t say on this site, but amazon do for other drill bits and by Bosch blue multi mater bits they call it work length...

I am thinking of putting in a roll out work bench, and that work bench to be a wood storage area, with a smaller shelf that I can store some 2x4’s that I would be working on. This is going to be on the car port area against the fence and right next to next doors garage. So the wind and weather...

I have seen videos of people upgrading the usb port, but to me it is a complete hack and surely the chip controlling that port won’t work well with the usb-c as it wasn’t programmed too in the beginning. somehow the battery was perfect until I took it away on holiday via aircraft and somehow...

Hello I have a really good, but unfortunately semi broken speaker. I can't remember the details of the make or model, but its a really good sound speaker. The problems is, I somehow broke the micro USB port. So, the only way to charge the speaker, is to have the cable in a certain position...
