1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of “discuss” rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This isn't an advice forum
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with “So” - starting a post with pointless phrases, like “I hope this is allowed” or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Hand tools? Secondhand or Harbor Freight.
Corded? Whatever you can find secondhand. I haven't looked into Harbor Freight power tools recently. Last I checked, the price isn't competitive for these, but I might be wrong. Otherwise, I'll either go Ryobi or find something I would like. (I have a DeWalt miter saw, since I wanted something more accurate.)
Cordless? Batteries make this a challenge. Buying separate batteries is expensive. It's a lot more economical to buy batteries as a set with a tool. I've stuck with Ryobi. Got a big, cheap set with batteries and basic tools. Picked up a few more tools over the years. I figure if I need something higher quality, I'll get it. I'm not a professional, so I don't ask a whole lot from the tools. Never felt like I needed to upgrade.
