maya finally met the world

she's bloody earned this

That dress is absolutely stunning! Damn she looks good!

it’s been so wild watching her since her disney days 😭 i feel like a proud mom (she’s older than me lol)

she is stunning! i’m so proud of her. i’ve been following her since girl meets world and i feel like a big sister in a way (parasocial whatevef). man’s best friend is brilliant and i’m just so happy to see that she’s finally being appreciated after being around for such a long time.

I would throw a vote in here for Sirenroot. I think the writing was well done and the voice acting was consistently very high quality.

Im actually liking the "Khajiit will follow". Lore-friendly, completely SFW, 15000+ dubbed lines between all four followers.

Kinda pushing the definition of "mod", but Enderal.

Xelzaz, honestly.

Legendary run man

Drill artist with 681Ms is diabolical. Only other NY 'drill' artist to top this is Bobby Shmurda, 1Bs for Hot Nigga. Everyone else is a distance second, I think 6ix9ine got 500Ms for Gummo, Sleepy has 200M for his 2055 visualizer & Kay Flock with 100M for Iz Ya Ready. That's an achievement in itself. Rest up, Pop.

Having a Vive Pro, Quest 3 and PSVR2 currently it’s very hard to answer. Used to have a Valve Index that was probably my fave but they all have their strengths and weaknesses so could not even pick my fave of what I currently own. Vive Pro is OLED and I use the Index controllers with it but the Quest 3 is sharper with no screen door effect but lacks the deep blacks of the PSVR2. PSVR2 is a softer image but has awesome FOV and amazing controllers plus arguably the best content available on it. Quest 3 is the most versatile but mostly use that for playing VR golf with my cousin. I do love it but the PSVR2 is a more immersive experience and you feel more “there”. Vive Pro with Half Life Alyx is hard to beat in terms of deep blacks and immersion. Using Sony Pulse headset with the Vive Pro and PSVR2 and no complaints.

It's still the Quest 3 as the best all around VR headset. The more expensive VR devices are expensive because they're niche and full of compromises. Similar to how even billionaires use flagship Apple and Android phones. You can have all the money in the world, but there's nothing better you can buy. The quality and support actually depends on high volumes being sold.

If money doesn't matter then I'd get several different headsets because there isn't one that is best all use cases.

Tried most of them, and while you have the high end stuff like Pimax and Index offering great experiences at a price to match, the Quest 3, which is possibly the cheapest, is also one of the best. Great visuals, immersion, comfy for a few hours, and a massive library, especially with a PC and Steam. If you’re new to VR, you won’t go wrong with a Q3 to start. If you really take to it, that’ll be the time to consider a better headset.

I'd say that beyond 2 for how small it is then get whatever else you need to use with it.

Up to you. Rumors for the Quest 4 are next year at the earliest. There’s a good chance Valve will announce their new Frame VR in the next month or so. Unknown when it will be available and if it will be better than Quest 3 or have its own compromises.

It just doesn’t have the power it used to. I have 5 different batteries that it can use and swapping them doesn’t make a difference.

I was helping my dad with a project and used his Milwaukee and the difference was insane. I’m leaning towards the Milwaukee right now but I want to make sure it’s worth it and I’m not buying it for the brand name.

The DeWalt and Milwaukee are a common mid-range that is popular and proven. I consider makita to be one tier up over them, but they cost more.

Milwaukee M12

When I gave away my last 18v I found the new brushless 12v made the same power in a much smaller package. 

I am very happy I did.

Dewalt 20V Atomic is $99 also at Amazon and some independent dealers - https://www.amazon.com/DCD794D1-COMPACT-Brushless-Lithium-Ion-Cordless/dp/B0BY1BQ285

Older model with 2Ah batteries - https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-Brushless-Cordless-Driver-DCD800D2/dp/B09YY8RZJ9/

Makita's better drills are above your budget.

Bosch has a couple of options - this looks to be the best within you budget: https://www.amazon.com/Bosch-GSB18V-535CB15-Brushless-Hammer-Driver/dp/B07KMP388H

Honestly, I'd say go for one of the $99 options (Milwaukee M18, Dewalt Atomic, Metabo HPT 18V) and put the rest of your budget towards future tools or upgrades (e.g. M18 Fuel, Dewalt XR 3-speed) if or when the need arises.

Exactly---for home use, light automotive, it's a cordless drill---in go screws, in go pilot holes, out go screws.

I would look at Milwaukee’s M12 Fuel hammer drill/impact driver combo for $229. Good thru 8/3. I have this set and love it! Small enough for the home owner especially when working at or above shoulder level, which I was recently. But has a ton of power - compare the specs. I will not build a deck with them but that is the only project I would not, though could probably do a ground level small deck.

In the M18 line, you have $99 each for the compact drill (do not think it is hammer drill) and compact impact driver. That only goes thru 7/20 though (maybe the 27th). In DeWalt, you have the lower end 20V brushless drill/impact combo for $169. I think that also ends on the 20th or 27th. You could wait and see what the new sales look like.

While tempting, I would not invest in the Dewalt 12 V line. There is an unconfirmed rumor out there that Dewalt is not expanding their line. Might sustain it for a while but not invest in improvements. Some say it will end but again, that seems to come from maybe one source and not confirmed by Dewalt or their owners - Stanley Black & Decker.

If it warranty you want, hard to beat Harbor Freight’s Hercules line. Batteries on sale right now and bare tools are under $100. Tool testing YouTube channels rate them on par with many of the name brands or right behind them. Each tool has a 5 year warranty and batteries have 3 years. Something is wrong or it is 4 years and 364 days and you walk into any location and you walk out with a brand new version of the tool. I have never heard of anyone being denied. I had a problem with a Bauer line sander I bought there and I had a protection plan on it. I was in and out of the store in less than 10 minutes.

Good luck.

I have been using this from dewalt and it has been working great for me so far, Overall it is a very solid option

I have 20+ makita 18v tools. I love them. Guys I work with have Milwaukee and Dewalt. Not being a snob but the ergonomics of the Makita are far superior in my opinion. The impact driver is so smooth and refined for example.

I do have bosch sds drills, cordless and corded ranging in weight (class) from 3/4kg right upto the 11kg sds max, I have 5 in total. Bosch sds gear is fantastic. Hilti enthusiasts mighty chime in here but Bosch is half the cost and performance difference (if any) is not worth the additional cost, I don't care what anyone says.

Dewalt chop saws are fantastic.

As for impacts, drills, circ saws, jigsaws, recip saws, grinders, theres little to no difference in performance. A lot of people on this sub are just affiliated with a brand because they like the colour and don't actually use the tools very strenuously and could do with budget friendly alternatives but whatever floats your boat.

I've used lots of brands of power tools and overall, Makita to me will always feel best in hand except for Bosch's sds gear

I firmly believe the M12 Fuel 1/4" Impact driver (3453-20) is the best power tool Milwaukee has ever made. It's small, it's light, it's got ugga dugga for days.

If I had to pick my favorite M18 tool, the inflator might take the cake.

I have Ryobi tools too, and really like their oddball stuff. The hot glue gun, portable fans, power washer, car jump pack, etc. Their power tools are fine, but nothing special. The Ryobi secret sauce is the ecosystem, they make tons of things no one else does.

Fully invested in the Makita platform - but the DeWalt 20V Multi Tool is by far my favorite of any major brand. Ergonomics on the thinner handle, and paddle trigger instead of a switch feel so much better to use.

Anecdotally I think a few objective tool comparisons really like the 18V Makita Drill & circ saws.

Sawzall! Although the Dewalt 60V is an absolute beast.

Some of the more iconic ones, mostly for corded versions:

• Circ saw - Makita and Skilsaw
• Sawzall - Milwaukee
• Jigsaw - Bosch and DeWalt
• Chop saw - Bosch, DeWalt, Hitachi (Metabo HPT)
• Jobsite table saw - DeWalt
• Contractor table saw - Delta/Ridgid, old school Craftsman
• Oscillating tool - Fein
• Sanders - Bosch, Festool, 3M, Mirka
• Routers - Triton, Bosch, DeWalt, old school Porter Cable

i use carbid drill bits (idk if its the right term in german they are called "hartmetall bohrer") they drill a hile in everything.. you can even drinn in fully hardend knives.. you need to cool them well if you drill deeper/longer and they are expansiv

where can i find stuttgart drill bits st2200

Tungsten carbide for hard stuff. Cobalt for handheld devices.

Stainless work hardens. You'll want a carbide bit. For stainless and hardened you want low speed, lots of lube, and lots of pressure. If you let it spin up and its not cutting the whole time, you're gonna have a rough time with stainless.

Dewalt drill hits are definitely not the best. You'll want a proper tool brand, like Norseman, sandvik, Champion, precision, or any other old school, USA or England based brands. Nothing from the home depot.

Several decades of experience. I used mostly Milwaukee, DeWalt and Makita. About 12 years ago I bought my first Ridgid. Now it's all I own. Great tools. Vastly underated. They got heavy use for years in set construction. Not a single repair or failure. I still have the first one I bought

Drills-Milwaukee and Makita

Circular saws- Makita, Dewalt

Mitre saws- Makita, Dewalt, Bosch

Sawzalls-Milwaukee, Dewalt, Makita

Angle grinders- Makita, Dewalt

If you’re concerned about a professional brand that handles all sorts of dust well and has a reputation for reliability, customer service and most importantly part availability there’s only one answer.

Makita.

There are other great tool brands, I agree with the top comment by Otis for the most part on overall tool reputation in those categories, but your qualifications in your post really only allow for Makita to be the answer.

There are two answers.

The first answer is: There isn’t one tool brand that has the best tool in every category. If you’re able/willing to buy into multiple different battery platforms, you can pick and choose the best tools for your application. Expensive, but it opens up your choices quite a bit.

The second answer is: If you want to stick to one battery platform, you need to evaluate the whole line of tools against your needs. Start with the core tools like drills, drivers, and saws, then see whether they offer the specialty tools you need for specific tasks. You may have to work with an inferior tool once in a while, but it’s cheaper and easier being on one battery platform. You can always rent (or buy corded) specialty tools if needed.

Hercules is underrated. After buying an entire packout with only Dewalt and having it stolen, I switched over to Hercules. No way im going back.

Anybody who talks shit on it is wasting money on brand-name tools.
