what situations do people actually use chinklights

work,edc,dog walks

all hail convoy

I work at a big box home improvement place, and it's always well lit, so it's hard seeing stuff in shadows, like if someone drops stuff between registers, wiring underneath stuff, or trying to see inside a water heater box to see which side the crushable bits are on when we're laying it on its side in someone's vehicle. Or when they turn the lights off after close to get customers out and then don't turn them back on.

I use it to fuck with my neighbours

Today's package, drill saws. Because it seemed like such a terrible idea that I had to do it.

They're mildly functional, but there are so few times they would be the viable thing to use.

Which is about what I expected, so mission success I suppose.

What exactly does it do?

Chink HSS and carbide has so far not disappointed me

@Phatique Hows your redmi note 5, did it come in? My tracking info hasn't updated in forever. And it's a singapore tracking number but now its stuck in hong kong <:thinkjojo:333980344044879872>

@Deleted User End is a drill, middle is toothed so you can use it as a saw. Drill in and keep drilling sideways, like a center-cutting end mill basically.

I like the couple of carbide things I've gotten, HSS outta China hasn't really impressed me much, I've had some good and some bad.

Carbide they can make a mold for once and be done, HSS requires heat treating and machining, and never trust Chinesium to be properly heat treated.

@ChairmanKaga it arrived yesterday. Its Singapore Post? It updates as soon as they ship it from sg, takes a long time from China to Singapore for some reason.

Sounds fun, but indeed pretty useless outside specialty uses

I want to find more fun tools. Anything neat you've found? I've got some NWS knockoffs that are pretty decent.

Impressed by the 10inch screen that came with my raspberry pie. It's actually 1080p and 59hz

@Phatique Maybe I'm just being impatient, but I live in japan fug

I had enough time to buy ship and receive my taobao haul while waiting for this

@kaetaa how much was it?

Yo,my item arrived defective. I did not confirm goods received yet,how do you go with "warranty" claim. Open dispute and send video of non working thing?

aliexpress

@timsandtoms it came with a raspberry pie 3b+, charger , case, HDMI cord, the 10inch screen plus power cord, heatsinks, a wireless keyboard controller thing, a mount for the TV etc. For less than $100 US

Damn, that's a pretty good deal

Yeah I thought the screen was going to suck but it's pretty good

Buying bundles in China is the way to go

are ther eany cheap knock off peli cases

There are, but ymmv

Some of them are top notch, others only look top notch

i might just get a peli tbh lol

@midori confirm received, then open dispute

and get a non autistic discord name

@bentech You in the US?

Harbor Freight has nice knockoffs. I like the foam better at first glance than the Pelican stuff, because it comes in layers. Apache 1800/2800 and Pelican 1520 pictured. I think they were like $15/$30 for the Apaches

ooo ooo

There's a third, larger size. I think it's around half the difference between the 2800 and 1520

nice

sadly i bet i cant get them in europe

Probably not without paying an arm and a dick for shipping.
