Dormer. Edit, don't ask me why, but my mate bought me this set a few years ago for helping him with something. No idea why he went so overkill but it's seen me very well for a few years now. Most expensive drill bit set known to man

Well if you decide to punt your other on let me know. I've not got a mill....

I'll bite. Wait until you come to pick your crimper up, you'll see makita and poor don't always need to go hand in hand..... They just do with me lol.

Bought big boy. Should be here Thursday.

Does anyone in Leeds want one of these? They're a tenner cheaper if you buy two together..... 😂

Ooooh price? Not got one of these..

I have that ratchet and it's spot on. The Clarke stuff isn't bad really for the money. Starting out I'd be tempted by this Link

Plasma cutter 🤣 Joking aside, air gun, spray gun, tyre inflator are all good shouts. I have a few Clarke bits from machine mart and TBF they work just fine. Air ratchet is a good shout though if you don't have one.

Agreed. I think Makita have a better all round range with their garden stuff and mix of DIY and Mechanics tools but the feel of other tools seems better. I prefer Dewalts general build quality and some of the Milwaukee mechanics stuff is miles ahead of where Makita are.

Sadly not, but the guy is very well off and appears to just do some building to keep boredom at bay. Sent his wife to pick some steel up in a Porsche Cayenne 😂

One of the builders I deal with has a place in the states so gets loads of Milwaukee stuff. Showed me inside his van the other day and it'd have some of you chap's f**king creaming. All Milwaukee tools, all less than 2 years old and all in the pack out cases. Looked impressive.

Compressors will have a Free Air Displacement (FAD) rating in cubic feet per minute (CFM). All proper ones will kick out 10 bar and be suitable for most air tools. Depending on the tools you'll want one that can cope, the tank size means you get more leeway with the FAD until it kicks in, but...

My mate does this, think he's got some form of something. But he can't see a new tool without picking it up and then playing with any moving parts or settings. Drives me f**king insane as it's like watching a child making sure he doesn't break anything.

Acquired these old cast iron slip rolls today, they weigh about at much as the sun. Made in Birmingham by G Kendrick. Other than that I've not got a clue about then. They need a good tidy up but other than that they're really nice.

It was about that price yeah, might have been a bit cheaper as I shopped around a bit. I know it's expensive but the way I see it is its a lifetime warranty and I bought it in my late 20's. I'm over the pain of buying it now, but that box will see me for the rest of my life. I've never...

Not got a clue yet haha. Just always fancied one and thought why not. Got it running fully on single phase now including the coolant pump and emergency stops etc so can start thinking of things to make round.

So following on from the new tool thread, show us your boxes.... I have the Teng TC Monster 01. Photos from when it was new. Still not used half the stuff in it three years on.

Them stickers are an absolute god send when looking for something. You got any pics with the drawers open? Be interested to see what comes in it.

Did you get to plan the most manly tetris ever putting the tool trays in? Took three of us an hour to do mine. Also did it come with the stickers for the front to show what's in each drawer?

Depends on your plan of attack. I've bought an amazon VFD and 5 switch control module. Cost 150 quid all in so not too bad. Reusing existing motor and have forward, reverse, start, stop and speed control all in one unit.

Got carried away on eBay and bought this last week. Picked it up Saturday and got it in the shed. Will probably put a thread up about three phase to single phase conversion once it's all sorted but well happy with it! Picture is as I moved it, I do have the tailstock, splash guard and doors etc.

That Halfords one is only £40 if you know anyone with a trade card.

Hit me. Furrysheep

Because I think it's a blag. Hopefully get proven wrong thought and make my millions. Username is Furrysheepif anyone wants to add to security circle.

I have had various Chinese variants and they all fail, the apps are a bit suspect and support isn't there. Although one failed after 2 years and amazon just refunded me. Currently on a hikvision DVR with HD cameras. Few bits to consider; Camera location, everyone gets caught up with "they...

I've just signed up for this as well, why not. It seems more like a pyramid scheme at the moment though just getting loads of people to sign up, so can't see it really being of massive value to an individual.

A lot of them have the same size housing regardless of the hose they actually put in so a shorted hose might not actually gain much space wise. Just make sure you get one that screws direct to the wall and doesn't use a clip on bracket as they just unclip when reeling the hose in.

Thanks all, only just looked back in here. Trialled gamma, 3cx, office uc, 8x8 and had RC for around 6 months on a full roll out. We've ended up with a curoip system with grandstream video phones. The system seems really good so far and the service from the provider (Rydal) has been second...

Air ratchet because big compressor. Surprisingly useful.

So this has been months in the making, and not exactly a tool. But finally got this installed and plumbed up yesterday. Atlas Copco Gx2FF compressor with dryer. Bought to run a hypertherm powermax 45xp plasma cutter I bought on a bit of a whim. Absolute amazing bit of kit. Now to start...
