Blahrg asked:

So I’m taking “introduction to green construction” (it’s like wood shop, but geared towards actual construction), and we’ll be using skil saws and stuff. I’m 15, a girl, a total couch potato, short, and I’m not strong (at all). But that doesn’t matter too much right?

I know that Fein is the best,but I need to keep it under $200. Its for house hold repairs -”fixer upper” stuff. There is one at Lowes - 4 piece set for $129 that is supposed to be good (Porter Cable)… or Ryobi at Home Depot.. I’m ignorant on this ! I need a rug pulled up and wood floor sanded- do any do that? Thanks for any input !!!!

SamwiseGardner asked:

I am a male, and most of the stuff I’m into is not the stuff that is traditionaly associated with male bonding. I lke books, eclectic music, talking with friends about feelings, and drawing and the arts.
I am slightly touchy feely in my pesonality, some would call me a wimp. more of my friends are female than male. Oddly, although I want a wife, all of my female friends that arent taken are not interested in me in that way. I am straight. Very much so. But I am not macho, and do not understand macho-ness instinctively. So am I normal or not?

Is it true that Sears’ Craftsman brand power tools are made by Ryobi?

CJP asked:


I’ve got 40 year old Craftsman tools handed down by my grandfather. They still work great. I recently purchased several NEW Craftsman power tools such as a 2 HP router and a 1/2″ drive 18 volt drill. I’ve also purchased some hand tools such as a 90 degree corner clamp.

Almost all of my recent Craftsman purchases have resulted in catastrophic failure of the tools. My drill LITERALLY burst into a cloud of smoke, my router locked up tight, my corner clamp broke (and they wouldn’t replace the clamp saying it wasn’t a “hand tool”, it had only been about 6 weeks), and my regular clamps’ grips came off.

Seems like Craftsman has really gone WAAAAYYYY downhill lately. I won’t make any more Craftsman purchases. I recently bought a Ryobi 18v drill, but then I heard that Ryobi makes some of Craftman’s stuff. Is it true? Did I essentially purchase another crappy product?

My boyfriend said the pay scale is low in Mexico, but could I survive if I moved there (Cancun)?

Digz asked:

So someone i know was robbed. I guess someone had been watching him and broke into his truck and stole his tools(he’s a construction worker) but he didn’t report it to the cops cuz he wants to catch these people that robbed him. He thinks they’ll come back for more of his stuff. I’m very worried and thought about letting the cops know but i don’t know if i should.What can i do?

Cool Geek asked:


I’ve never been good with tools, fixing stuff or knowing technology jargon. I’d like to change that somehow. Do you know any good books for mechanical/electronic/construction challenged people?
