f**king savage, but Dan does have a point. I spend more time grinding than welding! They were about £250 for both sets. Definitely not cheap but I'm a sucker for nice things.

I left them a couple of months ago. Guy offered something half arsed and said another team may be in touch. I told him to make sure it's within the month as I have a new service starting the day I leave. Lo and behold, 4 weeks into my new contract with a n other they called to offer me a super...

Got this yesterday. 36v 230mm angle grinder. It feels fairly well made but the battery location is properly stupid. Having the two batteries as they are makes the back of it too wide to move around. When I use a grinder I like to keep it fairly close to control any kickback and cut a better...

@dann2707 has one.

@Yorkshire Pudding getting the boys together to respond to this.

Thanks for confirming, because it was that f**king mental of a defense I couldn't get my head around it lol.

Did you just take a swipe at the power of snap on tools because someone commented on a loose battery of Milwaukee???

Update, got a decent price on this kit so bit the bullet. Being a bit OCD I've always liked the idea of the bin and blue roll holder so thought why not. So, given the size of it I've had to split the elements apart and put them separate in three blocks. Currently looks like this; With 4...

Just to help, the big Makita stuff is either 36v double battery and 40v single battery.

You said 12v xx The 54 volt basically links 3 18v batteries to give 54v.

Flex at me b**ch. Mill w**k hee.

Yes. I bought 2 Eth last night so it was inevitable it would tank straight away.

As for how hard can it be? Well it depends on the kit. A cheap welder will be less precise and make things harder. No need to go balls deep on something mega, but I'd definitely be looking at second hand on marketplace or ebay first.

Got some magnetic shims for spacing whilst welding. Expensive but should make jigging up a lot easier. Whilst ordering I thought it'd be rude not to get some more clamps.

Kyle's mum has played a blinder here. There's no way Kyle is being reimbursed £300 for that, she knew full well sending him something s**t would get him running to Nathan wallet in hand. Meanwhile she'll be wrapping it up "with love from mummy Kyle" and getting sent the the moon on Christmas...

If you're looking at mechanic's tools and general hand power tools I'd stick with Milwaukee. If you're doing bench works and big free standing tools / chop saws etc then go for Makita.

Try SGS, they have some stuff in the black Friday sale.

HDI 45 or a 45 pin D Sub?

I don't even know how to reply to this other than to acknowledge it's happened.

Low mileage cup, £15,000.

Well played. Not even the most occasional DIY'er has ever regretted having the right tool for the job. Just keep buying now haha.

Not fishing for Kyle or Dan again but a lot of people overlook the consumables. They're like the tyres of power tools. Most cheaper tools are used with cheaper bits hence the s**t performance, whilst those with nicer gear use nicer consumables and get double boost of quality. A cheap tool can...

Imagine being so snobby about red tools, but not rocking Hilti.... 🎣

@dann2707 @Touring_Rob the photos don't really do them justice. The first is the light, second is the strip lights I have on the ceiling and the third is both together. There's a noticeable difference with them both on. You can also fold the wings out to direct light better or just use as a...

Drop me a message this weekend and I'll get you one. They're insanely bright though. If you're into detailing they'll be ideal.

If anyone has a costco card, these are ~16 quid in store and amazing. Clicky They're unbelievably bright and amazing for showing up defects.

🤣🤣 That's the grown up equivalent of knocking on your mates door when you got a new football as a kid.

There's something about matching boxes for tools that just tickles me in a strange way.

Not much of a challenge is it. Can't you pick a smaller target for higher points.
