Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

The point is never expensive. The point is always that it lasts. Sometimes that means more expensive, but not always.

DeWalt is a special case, because no matter what we buy for wireless tools, it's going to need batteries and the batteries are not cross compatible. So that's more about total cost of ownership. My TCO goes down if I stay within their battery ecosystem.

I'll have a look around for cheap-but-good impact sockets when the time comes. I'm not in a position to need them quite yet.
