    Ear Protection: Air Pods Pro 2

    For passive in-ear protection I love the Surefire in-ear plugs. They come in a few different ratings and are comfortable to wear for 6+ hours with or without over-the-ear muffs. They also have a plug on them so you can open it if you don't need as much protection.

    Screw help

    These bolts came included with a bench, but they are too short. I was liking for something 50 or 60mm but I can’t find the right diameter. Does anybody have advice? They are Allen screws and will bear weight.

    Makita vs Milwaukee power tools and OPE

    I own Makita and that would be my recommendation. But the only way for you to truly decide is to compare the tools in hand.

    What your Dad taught you,

    My dad isn't a mechanic, or a handyman; he is an intellect. He taught me how to think, how to speak, how to observe and how to analyze. My grandfather taught me how to use my hands, my father taught me how to use my mind.

    Trust me I want to. The money isn't the issue, I will be paying for it regardless but I need to do it myself. My parents are stipulating that. Sorry I forgot to mention it. I do like that idea however lol.

    Level of expertise doing auto repairs

    I mainly work in performance. I guess that will fall under high. Technically professional since I work at a shop, but I do it for fun, not for a living. I don't ask to get paid much, I don't need it, someone else could use it.
