Now I feel guilty 😔 you were next in line but I didn’t think you’d fancy a drive from Derbados for it.

So you bloody should be.
You could have sent it down to me in the post like how I've just sent you 2 x boxes of those pegboard fittings...

Only pulling your leg haha I've already got a rivnut gun and biscuit jointer.
Those grips do look useful though, I may have a look in a Lidl near me at some point!

Was installing some network cable and had to run outdoors for a client
Decided conduit was best and bought this to make the bends nicer than the normal metal rod with ripples in it.
What a tool, makes such a difference for the look and shape of them.

Anyone bought a thermal camera, either a standalone thing or one that connects to your phone?
Wanting to get one for general checking of things around the house, drafty bits to see where the heat is potentially getting out.
@R3k1355 saw in this thread you’d picked one up, which did you go for, any good?
Looked at the hikmicro models but no idea which to go for (probably get used a few times then shoved in a cupboard 😂).

@ChrisR I got the T160 model off AliExpress, 256x192 pixel version. It's actually £20 cheaper now, and I got it at a right good rate in a sale back then.

I ended up buying a TopDon TCView. Plugs into usb c and works nicely too.

A mate who does mapping loves all the TOPDON gear. Tempted by one of those cheaper readers.
Ive got a battery tester that was recommended by someone on here its around £30 and works great, just dont use it on 24v to check charging rate instead of grabbing a multimeter 🤦♂️

I got a halfords voucher for christmas, so I figured I might as well upgrade my jack. I went for the 3tonne low profile as it was only an extra £15 over the 2T when I used my tradecard. Safe to say I might have overdone it slightly...

They're a decent jack and the coated wheels do help a lot with the noise.

I'm really impressed with it so far tbf, jacked my Megane up with ease.
Only issue was I didn't quite realise how heavy it was, it's just shy of 40kg! I looked like a right plonker heaving the box across the carpark when I picked it. I stupidly turned down the Halfords' man when he offered to help me move it. Bet he had a right laugh as I waddled across to my car

That's why i got the 2T version.
I had the SGS 3T and that was 45kg.
The 2T Halfords is 34kg and it makes a huge difference 😅

If I make a "Brrr" noise when I use it, does that make it powered...

Anyone use one of those turbo jet fan handheld blow job devices that are always being advertised on temu and the like?
Wouldn't mind something similiar that is decent, for dusting down the worktop and the like as I don't have a compressor.
They all seem too good to be true 😂 don't need anything super powerful really just something that won't break after one blow job

I got one ages ago for dusting my PC out, they're decent but nowhere near as good as a compressor

Near silent (very quiet at least), I've got a nice Jun-Air version and its perfect for blowing off stuff.
It’s green so you probably won’t like it but I use this quite a bit at work and it’s decent

The head flew off my US Pro big ball peen hammer the other day so I need to replace it. My mates always had the MAC Antivibe ones but I'm not paying near on £120 including shipping and taxes for a f**king hammer
Is there anything else I should consider before buying this? Or can anyone get me a good kesh price on MAC tools?

Get yourself an oldskool mash hammer with wooden handle like i was using yesterday
In all seriousness i used a snap on 32oz deadblow ball pein hammer in a garage i was working in a while ago and it was leagues ahead of the old wooden ball penis.
Milwaukee 32oz might be worth a look? Looks very similar to the snap on one i used at half the price.

The head of your peen came off you say?
