I don’t seem to have a problem with Torx stripping near as much as phillips, but I have seen others have that problem. As long as you use a good bit you shouldn’t have an issue with any of them stripping really.

As for paper puncture you don’t need to have a drywall gun wth a cone to get good dimples with out puncture, there are various bits and bit holders that will give you the right depth for a good simple.
Might had to look try some cement board screws though…

I always use a dempler tip with drywall screws, but if there’s any gap between old house framing because most of the old conch houses were stucco and lath so tolerance wasn’t necessarily very close, punctures are much more common.

Very true… Nothing worse than hanging new drywall on an old bowed wall

Those are DeWalt pilot point bits, and two of them are screwed. The 3/6″ broke…well, shattered is more like it, and the 1/4″ was bent straight out of the box. HD is supposed to be sending replacements…

Paracord is useful for a lot of stuff, especially if you’re needing rope for something. That’s a keychain I made, nothing fancy. I have a bunch, and I have a couple of bracelets. It’s something I do when I’m bored…among a lot of other stuff I do to keep from being bored.
Depends on how big your wrist is, I just can’t make it blindly, it might not fit…
Added a clip to the Klein…

Rotating belt clip would be awesome to use as well
Couldn’t do it, I barely had enough room under the battery cover for screws. Had to clip the ones I used. I only wanted something to give me the ability to carry it hands-free, so I wouldn’t have to lay it on the floor or anywhere goofy while using it. It’s new, I want to baby it…
I like the paracord on the thumb drive idea, thats great!
If I’m in the mood I’ll do a little paracord video to show how they’re made. It’s really easy and once you get used to it you can do it pretty quick.

Paracord video coming up, no voice, don’t need it. This is a basic weave, all you’re basically doing is tying a standard knot, only it’s being tied around another piece of cord. This weave isn’t “quick deploy”, if you want to untie it to use the cord you have to pull the center cord and then untie the main. The second weave done with the keyring is a tie that you can’t pull apart. This is for if you just want a fancy lanyard and don’t want to take it apart. I run a few weaves, then I slow down for one so you can hopefully see how the cord wraps and weaves. I do an “under/over” weave, but you can do an “over/under”…it creates the same pattern.
Pardon my hands, I haven’t washed-up from work yet…being lazy today…Basically you start with two pieces of cord, any length you want. Doesn’t matter, you can either measure out for the length you want (measure the core cord for your length) or you just make it how long you want and then cut off what’s left. Burn the ends with a match or lighter so they don’t fray apart, and you’re all set. Put one cord under or over the other, then wrap one “leg” around and pass it through the loop made by the same cord. You do nothing with the core cord except tie knots around it. You make one knot, then create another loop on the opposite side, making a new knot. Once you see the pattern it’s a piece of cake, each loop made, the new one goes on the opposite side. With this basic weave you can take the keyring off and pull the core out, allowing you to untie the knots and have a length of paracord to use for whatever.
I’ll make a vid sooner or later showing a quick-deploy lanyard, which when you pull the core the weave will just let out, you won’t have to untie it.
Green look pretty sweet

Uh…yup, Festool, that’s it, Festool. I made it for Festool…silly me, typing “Ryobi” when I meant to type “Festool”…they don’t even sound the same! [External image (i15.photobucket.com), not copied]

When my keyboard dies, that is a happy day for me. Thats when I get to go out and buy a newer and better one! I tell you this last one I got is the shit, its got built in illumination for the keys, and I can change the color of that illumination. Its a nice size keyboard as well, and the key presses are soft sounding, in other words, don’t sound like I am on a type writer. Remember the first keyboards? OMG right cha ching HAHA
I like the wave style keyboards these days. I just like the way your hands and wrists wrest while you are typing.

Making it look good is easy, not needing it at all is the hard part.
I am very safety-conscious, but at work it’s a bit of an obsession. For some odd reason O’Reilly adds Risk Management and Security to the Maintenance department, which means I have to be the safety Nazi around the place. It’s not fun when you have to do it in a workplace filled with imbeciles, believe me. I train the metal detector attendants, I train the guys to do the safety inspections and rack inspections, and I’m always the one who seems to find the stupid shit that people do. Like blocking fire extinguishers, blocking man doors, standing pallets on their sides, etc..
I can’t walk through the place without seeing some kind of safety violation
Metal detector attendants? What do you mean? Some sorta high security O’Reilly? Why is stacking pallets on their sides a problem? We do it all the time. Well it is more of a mound of pallets than a stack or pile. And then we light a match and walk away.
Warehouse = Theft. Metal detectors (body scanners) help to curb theft, and also keep team members safe by limiting metal objects, such as knives, guns, etc..
Pallets on their side (leaning them against a wall, guardrail, etc.) is an OHSA violation, each pallet calls for a $500 fine. So, if you have 5 pallets standing on their side it’s $2500.
OSHIT, I’m glad they don’t come poking their nose around here at work.
