There is no antispark switch, thatā€™s the bonus. There is a switch, but it doesnā€™t incorporate Mosfets like antispark switches do. The MKIII hibernates.

Should I be worried about a spark then when I connect it to the battery directly?

Your battery should have an antispark xt90s connector.

The phases in your life:

a) you, before using the Wera Hex Plus
b) you, after using the Wera Hex Plus
c) you, too old to use tools at all anymore

Welcome to phase b :wink:

itā€™s prolly been covered already here but I missed itā€“what was the whole situation with flipsky here/dispute over?

I donā€™t understand what the appeal is. The L shape hex tools are odd to me. why not use a hex screw driver or a hex bit in a drill? (Genuinely curious)(and donā€™t tell me because a drill will overtighten things because thatā€™s just user error)

Itā€™s not the drive method everyone loves, itā€™s their hex plus shape. Instead of a straight hexagon, the flat 6 edges are slightly crescent shaped.

I have come across dozens of bolts Iā€™ve stripped that the wera have removed no problem.

I am looking to add their screw driver collection to my kit. The L shaped kit is smaller and nice for carrying along.

Is your axle fixed or are you rocking a shoulder bolt?

Discobotā€™s plug fits in multiple sockets, metric or imperial.

Can someone please explain metric/imperial measurements for me?
So like miles to km, pounds to kg I know how to do the rough calculations off the top of my head.
But 1/64 I donā€™t understand. Are they imperial specific and or what are the metric equivalents?
Donā€™t call me a douche bag lol, why couldnā€™t we just decide on one in the first placešŸ’
Or should I just ask this in the noob question thread?

Basically they refused to help me until I opened a chargeback. They were being shady and refused to repair some of my stuff under warranty without fee, so I won the chargeback. Now they are refusing to send the stuff back unless I pay them upfront, but Iā€™ve moved on. Learned my lesson, buying from us/ amazon vendors only now.

1/64 is just 1/64th of an inch.

Imperial is like binary, where metric is like base 10.

You will see lots of imperial measurements based on fractions.

Mile was actually a Roman measurement for 1,000 paces.

Lots of our imperial measurements actually come from Britain and France.

1 gallon = 4 quarts = 8 pints.

In the industrial world, it is commonly known that 1/64th inch increments are 0.4mm. The injection molding workshop my office is on top of has these charts at every work station because they have to use both systems regularly.

When you have to measure something with a precision of 1/128th inch. :roll_of_toilet_paper:

I had to do a double take when I saw this. Whereā€™d you find that model for the caguama? Looks Identical to a model I made, down to the tessellations.

Oh ffs, mobile version sucks. This is in reference to šŸ–¼ Pictures and nothing else!

@Pedrodemio

Iā€™d love to compare our models in CAD. Youā€™re using solidworks?
