Crazy stuff :oops:

https://www.lidl.co.uk/c/diy-essentials/c2422 On the lidl website, they have messed up with a picture/caption and labelled a cordless drill a multi purpose detector. But I think it's quite fitting, cordless drills are ideal for detecting hidden objects in walls - pipes/cables/lintels etc...

Hope this hasn't been posted on here before, these poor lads were just trying to sort some waste in a field gateway :LOL:

Looking to get a nail gun, will mainly be used for 63mm nails into cladding and fencing (could've really done with buying one last year in hindsight!) These Hikoki 90mm gasless guns have been out a couple of years now, do many on here use them? How have you got on in terms of reliability -...

Another thread on here about asbestos! It's not a subject I have huge knowledge in, there's 3 materials here I'm wondering about: A: I assume is a roof valley or ridge (it was being used as a drain) B: Old corrugated roofing C: Wall boards, vaguely pink coloured, dimpled on the back...

Hi folks, I need to paint the external t&g type cladding on the back extension once the weather improves. The current paint/stain (not sure of age) is ok on 2 sides but the windward side is very poor. I've seen Bedec 'Barn Paint' advertised in magazines etc >...

Hi folks, I have been kind of roped in to making pieces of a wooden puzzle, consisting of strips of 9mm plywood with slots cut in. The slots are approx. 10mmx35mm, see pic Looking for suggestions (hand or power tools) for cutting the slots out? Needs to be a fairly neat cut. And ideally quite...

Got a festoon string, it was originally a 110v set but I use it on 240v with a 13amp plug. There's a dodgy connection inside one of the lamp holders. If you twist the flex where it goes into the lampholder the power to that one lamp comes and goes (rest of the string is fine). Can't see any...
