Eh fuck you bud, I’ve been doing heavy equipment for years now. I’ve made well over 100 thousands of dollars with their “shitty tools” yeah the Allen keys and torx bits are a waste. But Sokets and wrenches? I think I broke one socket and never broke a wrench. Need good cutters or Pliers? Don’t be a cheap prick they sell the knipex. Need a good knife? Yeah they have the olfa too. Screwdrivers? $30 bucks on regular sale gets you set for about 6months only because you loose them all not broken. Measuring tapes? They got house brands, Irwin, Stanley.

Mpatch@lemmy.worldto Canada•Not employed, in education or training: Canada’s male ‘NEET’ rate ticks up714·6 hours agoGet a new job. Change your life. Don’t go around blaming everyone around you with this nonsense. No work isn’t worse than dying. If you aren’t motivated enough to make things better for your self then obviously things aren’t that bad and you are just being a fucking drama lama.

Mpatch@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Gas stoves nearly double children’s cancer risk, Stanford study finds1·10 days agoThese fucks and their prop 65 bull shit. Everything causes cancer. But it’s okay for my kids’ clothes and bedding to be filed with flame retardant? Why? There’s a higher risk of them spontaneously combusting rather than getting cancer?
I have seen 2 of those in the wild they were in mint shape. They were also in scrap yard. Turn out the 8.1l had a fuel economy of, how ever long is the fuel hose at the gas station? Those poor shleps that got suckered into those trucks.
Can you imagine. Putting together an entire assembly line. Logistics. Parts outsourcing. From the die stamp machine with tolerances of 0.0001" to make those shitty stainless steel bodies to how many rolls of toilet paper there should be in each stall, or the type of soap in the luch room. All those intricate details. To only sell 39,000 of those shitboxes.
Yes and it’s fast, and quiet in comparison to many other sabotage.
Because if they get the money now. Good luck getting it back/ persuing any other action. If canada holds the money now and they are guilty. There is no money period.
Do you just hate yourself? Do you feel unresolved guilt for something the past that you should punish yourself? I’m in for a puzzle. But this… this is just well, I’d guess like sorting fly shit from pepper flakes. A Hell that doesn’t even work because in the end, you would at least have some good pepper.

Mpatch@lemmy.worldto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•AI-powered 20 foot robots coming for construction workers' jobsEnglish9·26 days agoI do equipment repairs for my bread and butter. And if they wanted to yes they most definitely will make equipment that is reliable as fuck and can be used and abused indefinitely. The worst part of it. All it takes is one ceo from deere, cat, komatsu, libberhr etc to say you know what, that construction guy pissed me off. It may sound petty but I have seen a local ceo buy out kenworth just because the sales guy was late and then fired him.

They aren’t making a truck but hybrid kits to re fit into existing platforms. Using cummins 4 cylinder diesels. Plus they got topsy to hit the market soon.
Yes I am dumb normie. Who has set up for doing things a certain way. I have my cnc plasma tables, my 3d printers and cnc mills. They are essential to my business. I need to be able to run the cad programs, communications and links. I have spent alot of hours already establishing this, learning how to do this. I don’t have time to re learn all this because I “should switch to linux” I don’t have time to learn new cad programs because the ones i use aren’t Linux friendly. Many of us normies just don’t have that spare time to go through the process. I just need something that I know will work.
I do heavy equipment/industrial/marine maintnace and fabrication work. The ability to overhead load things into the bed. Rather than being limited to what is on a pallet with a forklift. Being able have cargo that is longer than the bed of the truck and not have to drive with cab doors open. Being able to install a 5th wheel trailer to tow more than what the standard ball hitch allows. You shure aren’t going to make a tow truck out of a van. Bulk cargo? Just show up to quarry or dirt pit load a bucket full or 2 and of you go. Lots of reasons. These are just the basic examples. There’s lots more. From welding rigs to just being able to put a skid of drywall in with out hassle.
Yall don’t have bluetooth trailers yet? Must be a canada thing.

I use Mastercraft sockets ratchets and wrenches daily on heavy equipment and industrial. In the past 10 years I have broken one socket and zero wrenches. Couple of ratchets. But those were well abused with a 4ft pipe on em.
Allen keys and torx bits/ sockets I’d stay away from though.
