Marry an Italian girl and you'll never be hungry, they said ...

... and mate, they were bloody right.

The best pizza outside of Rome.

My missus whips up a pizza just like her Nonna used to make, and I reckon it's a total masterpiece. Made this beauty in the Gozney Arc XL and it came out with the absolute cleanest crust, perfect spots.

Just wanted to share it with you legends because I’m genuinely proud of her, and honestly, the taste was nothing short of perfection.

What do you reckon?

I didn't know I needed it until I got it, and now I'd really miss it if I didn't have it. DUB185Z

I used to think a battery-powered blower like the Makita DUB185Z was just a bit of a gimmick.

But man was I wrong.

I grabbed one recently and now I'm using the bloody thing almost every single day.

It’s completely taken over a dozen random chores around the place.

Sweeping tools and the workshop with a broom is officially ancient history. A quick burst with this mate and the workbench and floor are spotless.

Blasts away dust, dry leaves, and dirt from the veranda without having to drag out a heavy vacuum or hose.

Top-notch for blowing out dirt from the interior (with open doors) and drying off the Ute and getting water out of the side mirrors and panel gaps after a wash.

Perfect for blowing dry the chain and frame of the bike after a clean.

.....

Honestly, if this thing goes belly up tomorrow, I’d be straight down to the shop to buy another one.

Help choosing a drill to pair with DTD173 + corded hammer drill - DDF484 vs DDF487 vs DHP484?

Hi, new to the Makita world and loking for some advice on grabbing another 18V cordless driver to round out my setup at home.

Currently, I've got a DTD173 impact driver for driving tasks and an older corded Bosch hammer drill put aside for tackling some concrete walls at home (maybe some 10 drills a year in concrete).

My main uses for this new drill will be building IKEA furniture, general woodworking, pre-drilling pilot holes, and everyday light DIY around the house.

I'm torn between three options:

DDF484

DDF487

DHP484

Here's how I'm looking at it:

DDF487: Seems like the top pick for IKEA and tight corners, sub-compact and light, so it won't strip soft particle board as easily as a heavier drill. But is 40Nm torque enough if I need to run a decent hole saw through wood down the line?

DDF484: Maybe solid middle ground with 54/60Nm torque, but longer and heavier than the 487.

DHP484: Same as the DDF484, but adds the hammer function. Since I already have a corded Bosch for proper masonry, is there any real reason to drag around the extra weight, slight bit wobble, and length of a combi mechanism?

Which would you grab to pair with the DTD173? I

s the DDF487 powerful enough to be a primary home drill as combination or is step-up to the DDF484 worth the extra size?

Thanks for the input!

Absolute legend of my wife just surprised me with this beauty!

She snagged me the Makita DTD173 set as my very first proper impact driver.

Up until now, I’ve just been owning a cheaper cordless screwdriver, so moving up to this beast feels like a whole different world.

The ring light on this thing alone is unreal, and the power is next level.

Stoked is an understatement, so I can’t wait to get stuck in and build a lot of stuff with it!

It's not an addiction, it's a collection 🤣

For those of you, who also have a collection, I figured, I show you my personal choice of storage.

Easy, cheap and works perfect for the last few year and not one hat got out of shape.

Akubra Riverina Straw durability and sizing ?

Looking at grabbing an Akubra Riverina Straw for the heat, but wanted to check two quick things first.

Maybe someone already owns one?

How does the straw version hold up to regular wear compared to the felt version?

Is it true to size against the felt version ?

Thanks for your help.

My new 3$ homemade capsule dispenser

Just a thin MDF board and some hot glue.

After 20 minutes I just added the rest of a adhesive vinyl I had left in the garage.

Which shoe would you pick ?

Hey everyone,

Looking for some advice on which direction to go for my next shoe.

I already own a pair of Nike Pegasus 42s as my main daily drivers, but I have the opportunity to pick up either the Vomero 18 or the Vomero Plus for the exact same price.

I’m not a runner.

These will be only for casual daily use like office wear, driving, shopping, and walking around the city and other casual walks.

I’m 188cm (6'2") and 89kg (196 lbs). A lot of gym weight, but also powered by potato chips and ice cream. 😂

Thanks for your ideas.

Newbie to the hype

Hey everyone,

I’m completely new to the Birkenstock scene.

I had a pair as a kid in the early 80's, but for the longest time after that, people (me included) thought of them as a bit of a "tree-hugger" shoe.

No offense intended at all—that’s just how they were seen around here.

Lately, I’ve noticed the hype is absolutely massive.

Before I jump on the bandwagon, I’ve gotta ask:

Why did they become so incredibly popular all of a sudden?

Are they actually worth the cash for comfort and durability?

Cheers for any insights!
