Not to mention it's been available by way of the FCC long before, since you have to jump through hoops to not share it if you have a ham license. |

I'm all in favour of stuff being repairable, but not at the expense of things being less reliable in the first place. Potting electronics in a tool like an impact wrench is just good practice, there's nothing sinister or intentionally anti-repair about it. As for the cost of replacement, yes, it's expensive compared to the price of a whole new tool - but given the relative quantities in which new tools are sold vs individual parts, it's probably not a huge mark-up when all overheads are taken into account. --- End quote --- Maybe for an automotive tool. For alot of shit, please just let me be careful with it. That's just a stupid sales pitch that some crap that is never going to get wet is water proof. Military spec wankery I feel like I am being punished because of idiots that think its cool to throw their tools and be lazy Sometimes I feel like there is a market for tools not meant for overworked understaffed poorly managed job sites. I feel like the features I am paying for might be worth while if I was a under paid roofer on a tight schedule that has a partner that throws tools on the roof. Meanwhile I treat it like a caliper. Maybe a brand called "not for car mechanics" NFCM And you end up getting rugazied crap that loses precision and quality because they have to make it for a psychotic gorilla. Like pliers. The good ones basically have a special bearing instead of a nuclear proof press fit forged part. But you can't throw them, and you put them back in the tool box when your done using them. To me it almost seems like paying for 'vandal proofing'. I know sometimes you need it but not everything needs to be build like a old style pay phone. If you are like responsible and professional, alot of that ends up being a waste of money. Sure it might help out an occasional accident, but I am starting to think that just replacing the occasional accident is better then paying for EVERYTHING to be KIND OF resistant to some incidental. Not to mention it might cause a problem sometimes, potting, sealing, etc... can sometimes CAUSE a problem that would never show up. And I noticed some designs that they think they found a magic bullet to quality/durability end up having some grievous stupid fault despite the fact they they spent a small fortune making all the environmental and vibration crap... its like they think there is a cook book to quality. I end up feeling scammed lol |
