    Got a 'new' car yesterday. 2017 VF Series II Holden Calais. Big upgrade over the old 2001 VX Commodore I was driving.

    How would this help him at all?

    Not sure how far you would be willing to go but looks like they are made out of nylon so would be able to stop it from fraying pretty easily. From the looks of it you can get the break away hardware and kind of make your own.

    Cause you know getting a new 15 Pro Max wasn't enough. Needed a new Apple Watch (Ultra 2) & some new AirPods (Pro 2) to go with it..

     
    Also got some new tool sets. Supercheap Auto had a half price sale last night on the spanner set, so it would be rude not to.. and the socket set was a clearance special, also somewhere around half price.

    Went to Thingiverse to look for something else and found this, a ripoff of the LTT screwdriver that can be printed. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6189411

    Figured may as well buy some MORE Dbrand stuff as it's been a hot minute. Got an iPhone 15 pro max coming, and that new clear case Dbrand has is nice, and i've wanted Retro Dark Plates for ages, figured may as well.

    New Matching Microwave, Toaster and Kettle set from my work.  When they first brought these out a month ago they were £115 for the whole set.  They sold out before i could get one though.  They just brought them back with £11 off the Microwave.  £5 off the Toaster and £6 off the Kettle.  Plus my 20% Staff discount..  They ended up costing me £74.40 for the set 🙂

    Virus__ reacted to PuG1 in DIY Milwaukee LTT Screwdriver Bit Case   
    I bought the screwdriver & all the extra bit sets early on, but wanted to put the bits in a case. It took a while to find one I was happy with, and then I was extra happy to figure out a good way to do labeling on it.

    Of course I'll have to look at a larger case once they release the Pozidriv and/or any other bits, but that shouldn't be a big deal since Milwaukee sells bigger bit cases.

    Virus__ reacted to LinusTech in What about a European Warehouse ?   
    You are under-estimating the complexity of our business. How many SKUs do you think we have? (hint: it's well over a thousand)

    That times however many regional warehouses will need to be taken care of on at the least a bi-weekly basis. If we over-do it we could easily create a lot of overhead and cost for us.

    Also, FBA is NOT cheap, especially if you leave slow-moving stock in their warehouses and you have to pay for storage.
     
    The plain and simple truth is it's not just a simple thing and we have a lot on our plate right now.

    I mean...unfortunate sure...but it's a screw driver. It's going to look like that shortly if you actually use it for what it's designed for 😉

    2 different LTT orders & one from Mighty Car Mods. The JerryRigEverything knife is surprisingly solid, a bit pricey? I guess. But honestly for the solid build quality, not bad. A second LTT screwdriver, cause why not. This time silver shaft, as I got a black shaft. Also got extra bits. LTT Backpack & Techsack, great feel for them. Gonna be very useful when I travel later this year. Plus I needed a new quality backpack. And a hoodie from my favourite Aussie YouTubers Mighty Car Mod, even if it is coming into the warmer months in Aus.

    Anything with lots of littpe hanging pieces should be placed inside a mesh bag before putting it in the washing machine. This is as much for thr safety of your washing machine as the garment. 
     
    I don't think we officially advertise our bag as washing machine safe, but I'd be blown away if anything bad happened to it of you run it on cold. 
     
    Do NOT put it in the dryer.

    I too bought a screwdriver and I bought a backpack. I have no complaints and it was well worth the money. If you want quality products, you pay from them. Thats why I always laughed at people complaining about the price.

    This topic will likely be locked/deleted but I want to make sure anybody reading this understands LMG is more than just Linus. If you want to buy the products, buy the products. If you want to still consume their content, do so. There are 100+ other non-Linus people working for LMG that likely are not part of the core issues being addressed right now.
