A lot of new screwdrivers have these markings, particularly electrician screwdrivers. Klein do, Greenlee, and I think Southwire/Commercial Electric (Lowe's and HD house brands) do as well. And it wouldn't surprise me if the updated Stanley line does as well. It's definately still considered a "premium" feature, but…

From what I've heard, they've gotten a lot better with the whole "preventing misfire" thing. Besides, you only have to replace the blade cartridge (like... $90) and the blade. It's still expensive, but you're not replacing the motor. Or your hand.

That being said, I've never used a SawStop, but one of my friends…

I almost always use Spotify. Yeah, it's ugly and ungainly and a resource hog but it curbs my... downloading tendencies (except for the really good stuff, which goes into my collection and onto my phone). I've basically switched solely to streaming most of my music.

If I'm playing things in my collection, I'll just…

I open paint/putty/other cans all the time with mine. Guess it just depends on your daily life.

For most people (to me, that means average citizen who likes something to clip in their pocket), I recommend the Skeletool. It's sleek and slim and incredibly useful. To me, the perfect balance of function and minimalism. I don't need 4 different screwdriver bits and a punch for planting C4 charges. A pliers, a knife,…

My father has Snap-on screwdrivers from the 70s when he was a mechanic. Steel shaft combined with a three-sided, gently rounded and quite comfortable plastic handle. No moving parts, no rubber to get gummed up by grease, and it works like a charm. The Stanley may be the standard, but it is in no ways the best.

It took me a couple tries, but if you decline the app, then click no thanks... it takes you to the article!

The closest I've ever seen to a smart TV was a regular dumb TV hooked up to a Sony BluRay player, and I was actually impressed. As much as everybody hates Sony, their PS home screen UI thing that they smack on everything is actually pretty attractive. Maybe not as attractive as the new Xbox home screen (I'm a huge…

If you're going for microfoam and have a desire to taste the espresso, you might want to reconsider your choice in coffee provider. Starbucks employees aren't trained to get you that silky smooth microfoam you desire, nor do they roast their espresso to anything less than charred carbon.

I, generally, am a huge fan of Google products and really embrace the entire ecosystem, so this is a huge boon for me. Using all the Google products have always felt a bit disjointed, and I think this will be an excellent addition to their ecosystem.

If you're going to dream, dream big.

I'd be ok with it if we ditched the penny. It would require a bit of an infrastructure and pricing structures (like calculating sales tax into final prices, and 5 or 10 cent price jumps whenever prices change), but I hate pennies. They're utterly useless.

To remove bicycle chain rust, replace bicycle chain. It's like $15-25 bucks.

Philadelphia's mass transit (except for a few buses) went down at 5pm and all buses are being shut down at midnight.

Kreayshawn will somehow incorporate this into her wardrobe. Just wait.

I want this plus a touchscreen. Hell, I'd be happy with a portable, USB powered 7" touchscreen. Is that too much to ask?

You mean your mother never tied a string around a doorknob, the other end around your loose tooth, and slammed the door?

All of you are somewhat right. With chain and lock style bike locks (ala the Kryptonite New York Fahgettaboudit) are the safest and heaviest locks you can get. But they use specially tempered steel chains with extra thick links and locks that are tamper resistant. The lock has almost no access to the part that loops…
