  7. My mini Wera screwdriver review

    in Hand Tools

    Posted

    I really like that the Wera(and Wiha) have the thumb wheel, the Felo does not...I can push on the back to apply force to allow it to ratchet but the thumb wheel would make it even easier. i actually already have two bit ratchets, I have a cheap Neiko which is just super thin for really tight areas.

  13. Powerball sets new record, what are your dreams?

    The drawing is balls in a mechanical system still. The IT guru's still haven't figured out to have a true random number generator they all end up having some kind of bias. All the power ball has is a database of the numbers and the terminal that sold the ticket. It's so someone can't print a fake ticket. They also have a barcode with information on the ticket its probably time and terminal also. When smart phones first came out I wanted to do an app that scanned for winning lotto numbers.

     

    There was actually a lottery scam in the 1980s where they messed with the balls to make some weigh less than others, it was organized by the host of the lottery show!

    A few years ago; Top Gear, haha. Not really, UK prices are pretty high for a lot of things, from tools to cuban cigars. I did have a snorkeling mask in the UK shipped to me for a friend's birthday. There's no distributor for those, they sell for under $50 in the UK but re-sellers sell them for over $200 in the US.

    Are you doing a test of the bits then ? Yeah the fitment is key for me , I see you lot speak about Robertson sq drive we don't use them in the UK but they must be good the way you lot mention them a lot

    I was planning on doing some impact tests on all the bits, bought extras of each for this specific purpose but I've been dealing with some lingering injuries and haven't been able to do much after work. Yesterday I could barely get any work done at work because of it :(

     

    It's coming though, eventually.

     

    I like Robertson a lot, it's easier to deal with than torx but doesn't cam out like phillips. It's a little different than square drive, the bits taper so it's easy to seat them like a phillips. I believe Robertsons were invented in Canada, they use them a lot up there. Notice our resident Canadian was the first one to bring it up! If I'm buying screws for a wood project, it's going to be Robertsons if I can.
