Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

If you need any hand saws, I highly recommend visiting any local building materials recycling stores, or anywhere that takes a variety of household donations including tools. I have found a number of high quality general-purpose, rip, and back saws at the local Habitat for Humanity re-store that only needed a bit of clean up before they were ready for regular use. A lot of these saws get donated and people don’t value them much.
Same may be true for screwdrivers but finding a particular manufacturer or match set may be challenging. I’ve assembled a good set of torx drivers over time without much effort, for example.
Lots of other deals to be had in these places as well, including sandpaper, hardware, and PPE of all sorts.
For screwdrivers, I swear by Vessel. They are fantastic but you pay for it.
