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.

Just install the app mate, you'll be getting bummed in no time.

Don't say this, I was saying to @Louis the other day I'm toying with going Hilti just to add some spice to this thread 😅

I'd not get the kit Kyle linked, it's not the LXT range so you'll be limited on other tools.

You do. Any task is so much easier being able to drill hole, put in screw without f**king about.

£150-200 should get you something decent that will do most home tasks. Go for any of the big brands with interchangeable batteries though so you can expand in the future if you want to.

Got fed up of not having DAB in the shed so bought this. Game changer. DAB & Bluetooth!

Not a power tool, but will get any tool pervert a bit moist. Just bought these, been toying with Hilti for a while so when I saw they did a set I couldn't resist. Currently have zero holes to drill, but when I do! Oooft, I can't wait.

Thanks all for the suggestions, so I've been mulling it over more and been to Halfords and Machine Mart today. Halfords don't really have anything and the Clarke stuff in machine mart just doesn't seem much for the money so discounted both. Spoke to someone at SGS yesterday who insisted...

FFS Dan. Just about to order this and thought I'd check here for any comments. Back to the drawer board (see what I did there)

Thanks all. Good shout, just had a look at the sealey stuff but they don't seem to have anything around that size and budget. Typically either cheap stuff or a bit too rich / small. I don't mind spending a bit, but there's always someone who comes along suggesting financing a £5k snap-on box...

I'm after some half decent garage drawers to keep bits and pieces in. Does anyone have any they recommend? As it stands it's a toss up between these; SGS US Pro No strap on please, I'm not made of money. Cheers

It will be because of the pressure exerted on itself. To expand inwards requires it to press against itself, whilst to expand outwards will allow it to move into free space.

It's not my fault you can't figure which of your 6 fingers to push it through with.

Bought these crimpers off ebay. Definitely the best on the site. Not bad for 60 quid 🤣. First things first put a bit of tube in and pressed a hex onto it. They might actually have some use knowing they can do this.
