    I used mine on a chain that had been sitting around with some rust and uneven teeth, and it definitely brought it back to a usable state. Not like factory new, but it cut way better than before. I think as long as the cutters aren’t completely rounded off, it’ll grab them fine.

    Once the phone’s connected it’s basically just unfold and launch, I timed mine around two minutes.

    The break itself probably does more than the mat ever will, honestly.

    in reply to: does the Hewelth UVClean work with tap water or only bottled? #8726

    Tap water is totally fine for the UV part to work, since it’s really about zapping whatever is already in the bottle. The one thing I’d keep in mind is that it isn’t doing anything about minerals or taste, so if your sink water has a weird flavor, you’ll still taste it. I just use mine with regular tap and it does the job for keeping the bottle from getting funky.

    Took me about four or five nights before I stopped fiddling with it. I sleep on my back mostly and kept shifting the little wings around until I found the spot where my neck actually rests in the curve. Now it’s fine, but I still notice it more than my old flat pillow.

    I’ve seen a few of these manual sharpeners and most of them are made around the standard 3/8 and .325 stuff. The Qinux one looks like it follows the same idea, so if you’re running something like 1/4 or 3/8 low profile, you might be out of luck. The guide arm has to sit on the cutter just right, and if the pitch is off, the angle gets weird and you end up making things worse.

    Honestly, I think it’s more about the file size matching the chain than the tool itself. If you swap between different pitches, you’d probably need to switch files anyway, and this thing might not hold them all the same way. It’s not like it auto-adjusts or anything.

    If you only have one saw per pitch size, you might be better off just getting a file guide for each one instead of trying to make a single tool work across everything.

    I counted once out of boredom and got around 600 unique titles before I stopped. The rest is just regional versions and hacks of the same games. Still, for the price, you’re basically paying a few cents per game, so I wouldn’t lose sleep over the marketing number.

    I mostly run mine on the fan setting without water unless the room feels sticky. The cold water thing feels like it makes the initial blast a bit sharper for a few minutes but after that it’s basically the same as tap temp. I gave up worrying about it and just fill it straight from the sink.

    in reply to: Does SynGas need a specific type of OBD2 port? #6641
    PixelKevinPixelKevin
    Member

    The port itself is not going to be your issue. My car is from around that same era and the plug went in with zero fuss. It’s the same shape they’ve used for ages, so you are good on that front.

    What I will say is that it takes a bit of patience. I plugged mine in and expected something to happen right away, but it didn’t really do much for the first week. You have to let it do its thing while you drive around. After I put a couple of tanks of gas through it, I did notice the throttle felt a little smoother. Nothing crazy, but the car just felt a bit more responsive in normal traffic.

    So yeah, the older port is fine. Just give it time to figure out your driving style before you judge it.

    Mine still works fine after months, I replaced it before it ever stopped doing anything.

    I’ve had mine running for a few hours while I was out and it never shut down on me. It got a bit warm when I picked it up later, but nothing that felt alarming. I’d just make sure it’s not sitting in direct sunlight or something.

    in reply to: Qinux Klampero for really small chains? #6065
    PixelKevinPixelKevin
    Member

    I have a small pole saw chain and it worked fine, the clamp just squeezed down enough to hold it steady. Took a few tries to get the angle right since the chain was pretty narrow but once I did it sharpened up okay.

    in reply to: Coolizi Coolzy remote range any good or is it just me? #5638

    I think it depends a bit on where you put the unit and if there’s anything blocking the signal, but mine reaches across my office without any issues. Not totally sure about going through walls or anything, but within the same room it’s been fine for me.

    in reply to: How do you hold the Qinux Gravizer for longer projects? #5572

    I just hold it like a normal pen and it’s fine for me. Maybe my hands are already used to holding stuff for a while from gaming.

    in reply to: Does the Qinux WarmPro really heat up that fast? #5567
    PixelKevinPixelKevin
    Member

    I’d probably just plug it in and see how it feels while I’m sitting at my desk. If it gets warm before I finish opening a browser tab, that’s good enough for me.

    I’ve been using mine for a few weeks and the blue light seems to calm down new spots pretty fast. I haven’t really tested the anti-aging side yet but it’s been decent for breakouts so far.

    in reply to: Guardality fit in a slim cardholder with 4 cards already? #4803

    Member

    I’d probably just try it and see. If it’s already snug you’ll notice it a bit, but these cards are thin enough that it might not bother you as much as you think.

    I think it really just depends on the person honestly. The extra tips are fine for casual wear but I wouldn’t push it during sprints.

    I usually just go by feel more than a set schedule. If his eyes are getting covered or he starts looking shaggy, that’s my cue.

    in reply to: CoolCove on a shelf vs wall mount, any difference? #4411
    PixelKevinPixelKevin
    Member

    I had mine on a shelf for the first week, then tried the wall mount just to see. Honestly, the wall mount felt like it spread the air out a bit more evenly across the room, but the shelf spot was fine too if you don’t want to drill holes. I ended up keeping it on the wall since it looks cleaner and keeps my desk space free. No issues with either setup though.

    I’ve had mine for a few months and barely touched the roaming side, but the battery life alone makes it worth tossing in a bag for me. The data saver mode does help a bit when I’m on a slower connection at a coffee shop or something, but it’s not a night and day difference.

    My CarbonOne Safe screen stays on 24/7 with the numbers lit up. It’s not super bright, more like a dim digital clock, but if you’re sensitive to light in a bedroom it could be a minor annoyance. I just turned mine slightly away from the bed and it’s fine.

    in reply to: JBL Clip clip size compared to the older model? #3972
    PixelKevinPixelKevin
    Member

    I think people might be overthinking the clip thing a bit. It’s definitely bigger than the old one, and I haven’t had any trouble hooking mine onto my gym bag or a belt loop. It’s not like you’re hanging a dumbbell off it, it’s a speaker.

    I think it’s probably just the surface being harder, so the knife stops quicker. Not really a big deal once you get used to it.

    in reply to: How well does the Qinux Talkbuds handle fast speakers? #3879
    PixelKevinPixelKevin
    Member

    Haven’t used mine with a ton of fast talkers yet, but I did notice it gets a bit confused if someone switches languages mid-sentence. That tripped it up more than speed alone.

    in reply to: Can the Epicooler handle a room with no ceiling insulation? #3720
    PixelKevinPixelKevin
    Member

    I’d probably just try it and see how it goes honestly. Without ceiling insulation it’ll probably cycle on and off more but if you sit near the unit you should feel it. I’ve got mine in a room with okay insulation and it keeps me comfortable enough even when it’s warm.

    I figure if the scent fades that quick you just swap them a bit sooner and call it a day. Still cheaper than calling an exterminator every time a mouse sneezes.

    15 minutes seems like plenty if you’re just blowing dust out the door and not trying to clear a mountain of wood chips. I’d grab it just for the corners and under the workbench.

    I’ve been running parking mode on mine for about two months now and it’s been fine in my sedan. The motion detection seems to kick in only when something actually moves near the car, so it’s not constantly recording all night. I think as long as you’re not parking it for like a week straight without driving you’ll be okay.

    in reply to: NanoPolix okay on matte paint? #3483
    PixelKevinPixelKevin
    Member

    Honestly, I think it’ll be fine as long as you don’t go too crazy with it. I’ve used similar cloths on matte stuff before and it was okay if you just do a light pass. Probably best to test it on a hidden spot first like under the seat just to be safe.
