I mean… We know there are a LOT of powerful people who certainly like drilling kids.
This reminds me of my stepmother who, a couple years ago, had my younger half brother go to public highschool for the first time. She assumed that, in their rather well off suburb, public schools were like a fight to survive. She literally “joked” about wanting to send him to school with a knife to protect himself.
Some people will just believe in propaganda whether it’s believing public schools are a dangerous place in a well off suburb or that bullets just chill on the ground outside of a school in the inner city. It’s all BS and they’ll look for anything to confirm their beliefs, including mistaking an obvious drill bit for a bullet.
i mean we have a city nearby where everyone warns everyone else “don’t go to [city], you’ll get shot”. white people warn white people because they’re terrified of gang violence that hasn’t existed since the 1990s. everyone else warns each other because the local PD will shoot you if you’re not white (they shoot and kill at least 10 unarmed citizens a year, not sure how many unarmed people they only shoot) and they don’t respond to your emergency calls unless you’re related to someone in the PD.
i guess my point is that even subcultures have their own propaganda.
She should be terrified! That is a DeWalt #2 Phillips bit. All contractors know that DeWalt bits are terrible. The tools are great, but this means that her daycares contractor is incompetent for not using superior Diablo bits.
It’s not the brand that’s the problem, Torx or go home!
Maybe they did and that’s why they don’t notice a missing philips bit
Quite so. Though I’d say Dewalt tools with Milwaukee bits and Diablo blades. Those shockwave bits can take a beating.
I agree, I also use Milwaukee bits, but got a new pack of Diablo one a few months back. They seem to have the hardness of the Milwaukee bits, but don’t get stuck as much in the mag bit holders when pounded in with a DeWalt Atomic impact.
Good thing she didn’t find a 7/16 or a 10 mm socket.
10mm sockets have too high of a vapor pressure. They’d have evaporated long before she could find one.
I always thought they were inter dimensional, and that finding one changes the timeline.
Any socket left by a DeWalt-bit-using contractor, would likely be Pittsburgh branded, and best left to go back to the dust from whence it came.
That “mama” has “dear sweet summer child” energy.
It was the comma splice, right? Automatically makes one suspect.
You can’t do a clean comma slice with DeWalt.
Genuinely not sure what she thought it was.
I thought it was a bug, (I’m on phone).
I think that she thought it was a bullet. I can’t imagine being that fucking stupid.
Bullet I assume
A bullet.
I came into the thread with the same question
Turns out it was something too american for my European mind to comprehend.
Genuinely my best guess was they thought it was a heroin needle
Same and I’m from a gun crazy state.
A metallic crystal that famously used in harmful rituals ofc /s
Looks like it’s from a crappy screw gun. Bits that small always seem to be terrible.
That yellow band means it’s either a DeWalt locking bit, or a cheap knockoff of the DeWalt bits
Oh cool, none of mine have that. Wonder when they started doing that
It’s because that’s an impact rated bit. They have a thinner section that flexes a little bit to prevent the bits from shattering when used in an impact driver. All the different brands like to put a little ring with their colors on the torsion zone.
They make both kinds, the yellow band ones are just the fancy “premium ones”
