BEWARE: DO NOT PUT YOUR MONEY INTO ANGI'S LIST

I started our company page with them May 27th 2026. By August 3rd 2026, I had 31 leads.

OF those 31 leads, only 2 jobs came out of it (between $150-$200 each).

The "leads" they would sell would ALWAYS go to voicemail. I kid you not. I don't even think they're legit leads, probably just fake numbers they generate. Each lead costs about $56-$64, so I'm out around $2000.

When I called to see hey maybe they would try to credit some or work something out, they stated "A lead is not a guarantee job therefore we do not provide credit under these circumstances".

Closed our business account with them on the spot. If anyone wants more info feel free to reach out.

What scanner do you guys use?

Going to be doing the CVT fluid on my 24 OBW soon and I'll need a scanner to get the car to the right temperature and possibly do a transmission relearn. Anyone have a good one they use?

Is this a good tire alignment?

Never kept a car long enough to get one so don’t really know what I’m looking at

u/_bron_yr_aur_ — 23 days ago

Did anyone need an alignment after sizing up tires?

Switched from the stock 225/65R17 Yoko tires to 235/65R17 BF Goodrich Trail Terrains and now my steering wheel slightly sways to the right. Didn’t have this before. Sitting at 75k miles though so maybe it was time anyways?

Interior shed progress

Not doing too bad with the limited space. But definitely outgrowing fast. Have extra jigs/tools/parts I need to find a solution for.

Help on wood staining

Got a piece of commonboard and used some of that behr water based dark walnut stain. Dripped on across and spread with a microfiber cloth. Not content with the results obviously due to user error. Best way to correct this and do it better next time?

Track Saw or Circular Saw

I’m really just looking for something to cut large pieces of plywood/boards straight every single time. The circular saw seems more versatile where I can get a jig/track setup for it to make it like a track saw and still use it to for other things.

What shelving should I put above here

All tools on table will be on board, using overhead shelf as a small parts (like pictured above) so I don’t need it to be massive. 73 inches wide, 14 inches deep (would prefer closer to 10).

M12 3/8 or 1/2 Stubby?

Field of work: Automotive

- I don't want to have an impact socket set in 3/8 AND 1/2 if I can avoid it.

- I purchased the 1/2 Dewalt way before all this because of its 1,400 lb breakaway torque and 1,000 lb fastening torque. That one is basically my hail mary if I cannot get something loose with the stubby (which after seeing many videos it appears not often).

- For me, I'd like to get the 1/2 and ADAPTER down to 3/8 if I ever need to and just have one 1/2 impact set.

UPDATE:
As a few mentioned, it appears the 3/8 pushes out more power. Here's a video I found.

M12 Fuel Impact Driver 1/4 Hex

Took a quick run to the junk yard to salvage some parts with a family member who primarily uses snap on stuff since he owns a shop.
We used my m12 impact to get into tighter stuff with a 3/8 adapter and man did this thing impress. The dewalt was ONLY used because we didn’t have big enough sockets in 3/8 on hand to try it out.

Lowes Deal Any Good?

Which of the free tools is worth it? Mostly looking at the ratchet/saw/or impact wrench

Is this a good deal? Memorial Sales

Are these good versions of each drill? First time buyer with Milwaukee so not too familiar.
