It was really just to save time.... and I like playing with fancy tools :)

I've just looked up the DeWalt online and it seems to fit the bill but it is a little overpriced for DIY. Do you know any tool hire shops where I could hire one of those from or something equivalent?

Hello, can someone tell me what type of laser level I need for tiling my bathroom? Any makes better than others or are they all pretty much the same quality?

Yes, it's an external laser. It does grades / slopes too which might be of use to you in landscaping?

I've just bought a Leica Rugby 280 laser level, it's a great bit of kit but took some research to find the exact right kit for my needs (as things like receiver and accessories can change depending on your trade / use / job). I shopped around the usual places such as screwfix and B&Q but the...

Well I got to work ok once I dug myself out but it did take 4 times as long to get there!

ha ha ha - yeah, it is a bit grim up north and the further north you go the more grim it gets! Don't get me wrong, it's not "brass monkeys" just yet but I wont make the same mistake as the last 2 years and end up stuck on the driveway, digging the van out by hand :)

I'd have the Makita. DeWalt aren't as good as they used to be, in my opinion!

Have you tried to call a few hire companies and ask them? It's always my first port of call these days for odd / one-off tools for odd / one-off jobs... I've used National Tool Hire Shops a few times and they always seem to sort me out with whatever I need. I've never seen one for sale...

wow! The wife will kill me for this but I'm going to take my boy. What a great original idea and ideal for a father / son day out :D Has anyone been?

Diggerland????? you're pulling my leg surely? :shock:

noseall, I thought earlier today that I might need some sort of licence to use a mini digger but I've been told I don't as I'm only using it on my own property and not driving it in the street or working on the road.

HA HA! I didn't even notice that date!

Wooooo... only 70cm width for the 0.8T mini digger, that should get through the gate no problem! I think my backside is wider than that hahaha
