How to make line angle be based on different line than it's letting me

How to make line angle be based on different line than it's letting me

Hi,

Is it possible to make this angle be based on the angle between this line and the vertical black line in the screenshot (i.e. be the inverse of the what it is showing - in a total of 90 degrees)?

Thanks

How magnetic are Wiha Power Blades (or how magnetic can they be made with a magnetiser)?

Hi,

I'm considering buying a Wiha Centrofix screwdriver along with most of their Power Blades, but am unsure how magnetic the blades are; I couldn't find any information online regarding this. I'd ideally like them to be able to hold on to screws, but I don't need super strong magnetism. Basically I just want screws not to fall off the end and also for them to be able to retrieve screws from recessed/unreachable places.

The attached video is of a Fuller Chrome-Vanadium Phillips #2 screwdriver I own picking up a M4 X 32mm screw.

Would the Wiha Power Blades be of similar or greater magnetic strength to this screwdriver (or could they be made to be so with a magnetiser such as the Wiha 40010)?

Cheers

Is this external dryer vent cover really weatherproof?

Hi,

I purchased an exterior venting kit for my Simpson dryer and am concerned that water could make its way into the vent and thus inside my wall. I'm planning on installing in/on a south facing wall which is the direction the heaviest rain/wind comes from (I'm based in Christchurch). This gravity flap exterior vent is part of the officially compatible kit for my dryer (it's a universal kit which is compatible with multiple dryer brands), so I would have thought it would be pretty weatherproof. However, I'm concerned water could, primarily, make it's way in via the holes that the nubbins on each of the flaps fit into to hold them in place (see pictures 3, 4 and 5). It really seems like water could so easily get in there (from sideways/angled rain).

Am I right to be concerned about this?

Hi,

Recently I purchased an XTAR L4 Pro charger to charge some NiMH batteries I had lying around which I wanted to start using. I had three Energizer AAA's and four Maxlife AA's which had been sitting in my drawer for 2+ years (I purchased the Maxlife's from Bunnings in New Zealand, so they're likely not complete garbage). I don't recall any of them having been used much, if at all, prior to that.

When both the AA's and AAA's get towards the end of the their charge cycle, they can get quite hot. Hot enough that they feel like they might burn me if I held them for more than a few seconds. It seems to be worse the more batteries I'm charging at once; at least with the AA's I've noticed this (I haven't tried charging less than three AAA's at once). I'm assuming that NiMH batteries getting this hot is not good for them.

I contacted XTAR and they said that the L4 Pro does not have a temperature sensor (or temperature regulation system) due to it being a more budget model.

Are there any affordable (<$60 USD) NiMH compatible chargers that have over-temperature protection?

Having the ability to charge 3.7v Li-ion batteries would be a bonus too, in case I ever want to use them in the future. While researching, I looked into the Vapcell S4 Plus, which appears to have some form of temperature sensor/regulation, although it's not clear exactly how it functions with NiMH batteries. Something with a smaller charging brick or that can be used via USB-C PD/QC 3.0 would be ideal, but if a charging brick of the size the S4 Plus has is necessary for the features/cost I'm after, that's ok.
