I left reddit years ago, and am not familiar with the sub, but what's it about? Are you going to tell me that my craftsman c3 19.2volt batteries are to old, lol. Because I'm amazed every time I need to use them and they still charge and work for the small tasks I ask of them. I must have got them between 2006-2008 maybe?

If y'all make this an active community, it looks like the existing moderator is inactive, so to folks here: You should consider volunteering to moderate if the need arises.

I'm gonna keep an eye out on this community to see if you all make it a thing, and if you do, I'll see if the current mod is active (but they haven't said anything in a few years - this is a common issue on lemmy and we're used to fixing it).

Just wanted to stop in and say hello - and hope to see another community take off again. I've seen several like this - someone makes a thread, people pop up and start contributing. It's a beautiful thing to watch. :) And I'm here to support y'all if it happens.

I would also join a tools community. I love talking about tools. I haven’t seen one though.

Nice! Welcome.

Hrm recent tool experiences. A friend got me a new pruning saw. Dang that thing's sharp!

Some cycling specific tools (and parts) on the way to help rebuild my old mtb.

Storage is what's killin me currently. New garage and nothing's set up nicely yet. Carp everywhere

i just collected the last of my tools from my former job. it’s nice to have everything together again. it’s no good to turn around to grab the whatever and realize it’s sitting in the toolbox at work.

Remember, that sub described the people, not the objects.

So many posts were just suburban douchenozzles bragging about buying new stuff but never actually using anything. Also, people buying old bench vices and then polishing or painting them to be so perfect, you could not actually use them. Its like they wanted to cosplay a laborer so they started decorating a set for a movie.

I really hope that shit just stays there where it belongs.

Just joined my local tool library so I can check out tools as part of my membership. Anything I should be doing this fall to clean up for the winter? Any excuse to play with tools

removing old reddit and hiding it behind a login , if you used within 6months is another nail in the coffin, they are eventually moving to a login only site, if you want to view any content, so no lurking.

I switched to Lemmy a few years ago and a tools community is the one I've missed the most. Every other group has at least a handful of active users, except this one.

Another user chiming in!

I don't know how active I'd be as a poster, but I do love me some tools!

I will sub as I like a good tool.

Booo for making another community on Lemmy.world though :( everyone is just centralising to another shit hole.
