Where did you get the rubber boot from, struggling to get them for mine
It's a USA only thing I believe. I ordered mine from America. Got to say its definitely worth it. Same for the big impact!Where did you get the rubber boot from, struggling to get them for mine

After viewing this thread I can now confirm that power tool collecting is definitely a disease that only the greatest succumb to.
Spent the other night watching videos on the 90 degree die grinder that I absolutely don't need
Oh turbo SteveThanks. Yes I have boots for all my others. No need to tell me about it being an addiction, the lads at work call me Mr Milwaukee i have that much of it. What they dont know is I have the same stuff at home as well......lol
I can comThinking of getting one of these for the motorbike and pushbike. Could keep it in the car boot too for emergencies.
Anyone got any experience?

These are pretty good, especially with some adhesive in the hole too. You could also bolt a strip of box section (or even wood) to the wall first, rest the box ontop - spread the load out a bit if they are soft blocks. I'd be tempted to add another bolt hole at the top between the two if your going to be putting lots of gear in there.
Or just do what I would do and leave it on the floor and curse at it every time you fall over
I ended up using some like that mate! There's 4 for each cabinet and so far so good. Ended up buying different floor cabinets to the one I said as it wasn't in stock and couldn't wait any longer 😄

That looks ace. Trying to put a shelf up at the moment and the plugs just fell out ill be honest I literally have f**k all clue what I should be using.
Tried welding it to wall didn't work rip me
I drilled into the bit inbetween the bricks (cement I guess) and plugs just yeeted straight outta that. Tried a metal sharp looking bastarding thing that you screw in that just took a load of cement stuff out so just fillered it with poly filla and now I've forgotten about it

That looks great!
If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the bench/table from? Will a decent size vice attach to it?
I'm converting our shed into a workspace and am looking for a good workbench!

Nice! What did you put in place of the hot tub? Lad I know just bought a place with a hot tub and he's well happy about it, but all I can think of is all the sperm trapped in the filters, it's an 80's jobby too.Only got experience with the makita 18v, took six full batteries and five demolition saws to chop up our old hottub so a bolt shouldn't be more than a couple of seconds work with the correct blade?

I recently did the whole rear beam with one, while a little tedious due to the baby discs but it was spot on. Much better with the 6ah battery. Used it on welds, just done the underside of my car and the 2" disk gets in everywhere the grinder won't. I also had some surface rust behind my filler cap (surprise) and it had the whole lot prepped and ready for epoxy in 2mins. Would recommend getting the little 2" flapper discs as they seem to work great. Let me know if you want any links for arbors or pads.
PS don't judge the absolute s**t whole my garden is at the moment, that picture just reminded me to get the fence sorted!
You should just get this insteadI have a seized bolt on my Hexus..... which is weak justification for a new tool, but justification enough:

They are just the worst!Unfortunately its a spherical type joint and the bolt goes right through, the bolts seized to the inside of the joint which just spins, given it a good heating a hammering and can't get it moved, time to chop.
However I do also really really want an inductive heater like you linked, they are properly awesome.

Nothing yet, but I got the go ahead from my wife to convert the summer house into a man cave as long as I painted it so it'll be the super manly colour combo seagrass and cream!
New felt and underlay on the roof this weekend and two layers of outdoor paint will hopefully keep the water out a bit better. It's fine, but leaking a bit through the tongue and groove :

Then put in weatherproof carpet, heavy duty shelves and either a metal or wooden workbench and a vice.
Obviously had to order a new tool so got the makita 18v orbital sander.
They are just the worst!
Had similar on @leeds2592 volvo suspension and we had to do exactly that with a saw.
Was a pain in the arse
Yeah throw up a few links.
Also debating ordering one of these since team red don't make one.

That looks great! Is that double walled?
I was thinking I could maybe put an inner wall in and put some kind of insulation in but that might just trap moisture in between the inner and outer wall and cause rot.
I've already put one layer of paint on the outside, do the second layer when it's dry outside and see how it'll hold up.
For the carpet I think I'll order a 4mx3m piece of this stuff and glue it in. Won't move, no seams that can curl up and should be easy to clean with the wet Vac.
