  • What are some tools you need when starting to do basic DIY Mechanical work and possible home improvement in the future.

  • I bought most of my stuff from there so far. A friend told me to look around forums to see what the "good tools" there are. I got mainly Pittsburgh tools since I'm just starting and they're cheap, but is there anytime I should look at their more "premium" brands?

  • Took me awhile to find a torque wrench when I was working a few weeks ago. Wish I knew tool libraries were a thing!

  • My grandpa was a painter so I understand how awesome painters tape is lol.

    I was gifted a 3FT level and have some long needle nose pliers. Got some flexible extenders at the store when I was buying stuff for the last project. A good headlamp or bright lantern is definitely on my list

  • I am starting to get that. I had to borrow a few things last time so I have an idea of what I need, but no need getting other things until they are in use.

  • No wrench set yet, but hoping Santa brings them this year. What should I be looking for in a set?

    And I have a few flashlights after lockdown prepping. Looking to get a good headlamp now and lantern style light.

    Milwaukee is one of the brands that has my eye for power tools. I've only used Mikita or Milwaukee power tools in my life, just because that's what we were provided at an e-recycle/electronic refurbish shop I worked at years ago.

  • I brought it up with my family, my tech friends and coworkers and half the them just blankly stared at like I didn't know what was happening. Both are important, one more than the other though.

  • What are you tired of helping and educating people about because you know they'll just be ignorant anyway?

  • That's the difference from a good support tech and a bad one tbh. Bring able to gauge someone's tech literacy and taking in all troubleshooting done before is literally the first thing you should do. So many escalations I've received just has "had user reboot, had them disconnect and reconnect to network. Checked and device has no pending updates, sending to L3." in the notes. Half of the time a reboot really wouldn't do anything, and they really just needed to be added to an AD group (most of my tickets last week). I'm just glad I'm shifting out of support and more into projects.
