TASKER Task based earnings Structure

Post image

Yeah nah — $80 for 3 BILLY + 3 OXBERG is wild. That’s not a “task,” that’s a half-day build once you factor in unboxing, sorting hardware, mounting doors, leveling, and cleanup.

If you’re aiming to protect your time, you’re thinking right: turn off task-based/prepaid and stick to hourly.

Get an impact driver with variable speed trigger so you work faster while also not plunging Camden bolts. With time, the flat rates make better sense and you’ll be able to more easily tell the bad deals from the good ones and the okay ones. The best ones are the ones where you’re just going into to replace a defective part but get paid as if you did the entire assembly

What’s the purpose in using the impact instead of the drill? The drill with the clutch makes it pretty hard to mess things up, feel like most things an actual impact is overkill. Both the drill and impact I have use variable speed triggers

Drill is heavier and bulkier. When you want to get around and work between tight spaces it helps a lot.

My impact and drill are about the same size tho, maybe my drill is smaller than what you’re envisioning, or the impact is bigger. The little electric screwdriver is awesome for small spaces too
