    Universal combination square?

    Hello I have a simple cheap but reliable combination square as I keep dropping it, it still stays fast and true. I have a mix of good and cheap hand tools, one of them is a cheap combination square from the store that has a range of items. Anyway over the last couple of years, I have missed...

    Sliding Mitre saw recommendations

    There is no budget set. Just putting aside money for one, and if it takes me a year then it takes me a year. I just want to know my options, keep an eye on price drops and increases so I don’t buy it then a few weeks later it’s 30% less then what I paid. I can also spend this time doing...

    Sliding Mitre saw recommendations

    Hello So, I currently have a B&Q store brand Mac Allister compound mitre saw. I think I may have one of the smallest workshops in the country, being 2ft 6” deep, 6ft 6” height and 5ft 9” wide. I have an issue with space and always wanted a sliding mitre with a laser, but found the extra...

    External iPhone home button

    Already using the assistive touch button. Ideally I would like to wait until the law states or apple states right to repair is enacted. Example if I went to person A who can fix my home button, as it stands I will loose the Touch ID, but would have a functional home button. If I went to apple...

    dont understand height of these step ladders

    The highest step you can safely stand on is the platform height about 80cm, but the safe working height is not a set height on the ladder, it’s the total average reach height, based on an average height of a human. 170cm Add this together we get 170cm for average height of human + the height of...

    Long screws - recommendation

    Picture of the work area and a quick drawing explaining it, I hope this makes sense. Pictures look from outside in, the blue arrows are where I want screws, not sure how to get the screws in the between the spacers into the roof, unless I drill a hole threw the door opening.

    Long screws - recommendation

    I am disabled, my legs don’t work properly, they think autism related, I can’t do much, and what I do manage to get done takes me a lot longer than it should. That’s if my body can handle the stress/job, else I have to wait until my body is ready.

    Long screws - recommendation

    Lol… I am such a fool… not sure what my brain is doing most of the time, maybe pain/morphine maybe autism maybe a complete miss reading of the measurements… I need 350mm minimum length, maybe some sort of pocket hole job… You see my tiny workshop started to leak, but that leak got worse and...

    Long screws - recommendation

    Thank you. I had checked all my local stores that should sell screws, there was a couple that didn’t. I get easily distracted and find myself looking for one thing then 4 hours later I am somehow reading something like a battle of world war 2, to my head having a problem with accepted...

    Hello I am in the need of about 5 extra long screws for wood/outdoor that is suitable for 4mm or 6mm pilot holes, that is a length of 200mm. Can do a bit shorter with counterbored holes where needed and anything too long I can trim down. I only require 3, but I am after not much more than 5...

    small air compressor usage

    I think I shall see if I can find a second hand one, what would the L would be a minimum capacity, unless I can somehow use the car tyre to have a capacity storage. If that makes any sense… But I realised that I could use it for a simple sandblasting setup.

    small air compressor usage

    I already have the tyre inflator as my sister isn’t great at car maintenance, and was driving around with dangerously low psi, some 20 psi below what it should be. So my mum went and got a half decent tyre inflator, and only really used it the once. But we keep it in the car, as whenever we go...

    small air compressor usage

    Hello I am thinking of getting a small air compressor, but not sure if I would warrant getting one or just stick with a tyre inflator and get an electric staple/nail gun replacement. I currently have a staple/small nailer Stanley TRE550, but it won’t “load” the next nail or staple if the...
