    Solid State Hard Drives

    There is a Win XP compatibility mode in Win 7. What you need to check for is win 7 driver availability because your laptop might not have any if it is more than a few years old. There might be some microsoft drivers at a push.

    Solid State Hard Drives

    I am no expert on SSD's and know less about laptops. Laptops will have very limited space available so you would probably have to replace the hard drive with the SSD. You would then have to re-install windows and you would need access to the laptop drivers, saved somewhere where you can...

    Solid State Hard Drives

    For around £82.99 you can get a Samsung 840 EVO 250GB which is a better drive. IF you keep an eye open on Amazon that is how much they were selling for very recently but they have risen by a few pounds ATM.

    Euro Cylinder

    http://www.barnsleylockandsafe.co.uk/ Happier now? The previous url was to the BLaS Abloy lock pages, hence the Abloy all over the page. I posted the wrong link by mistake. As here which can be accessed from the left menu at the link above...

    Euro Cylinder

    Do you care to explain why? A website address can mean anything or could mask or redirect from any site. Barnsley lock & safe have a real address and phone number which is far more than most on ebay give you. Payment can also be by paypal if your that worried so overall, everything is far...

    Euro Cylinder

    Advocet Eurocylinders are the best. I replaced my eurocylinders for a pair of keyed alike Advocet locks and they cost me just over £70. I got them from the following site a few years ago. £32.99 delivered for the standard lock. http://www.abloyshop.co.uk/avocet-abs-mk3-anti-snap-locks-13-c.asp

    Spanner? - An easy one

    I believe that many of Monuments tools are made in Britain. Are their tools fairly well respected? However I might be thinking about Rothenberger tools. The Monument version does not have the wow factor IMO, it looks decidedly British, the Toolstation version looks much better. It just comes...

    Spanner? - An easy one

    Spanner? - An easy one

    They are very different designs. In fact Bahco make a similar product As you can see, because the jaw can be swapped around, it means there is a very wide feed sticking out the side as the jaw opens wider. That is not present on the adjustable spanner. It's only on the multi function...

    Spanner? - An easy one

    [/url] The problem that I have with these, is that they seem to be the proverbial jack of all trades.......I only really need an adjustable spanner rather than the extras it has, plus the sticky out bit puts me off :lol:

    Spanner? - An easy one

    [/url] I have been through all of those and none helped with my current bathroom taps. I ended having to buy one similar to the following to get the job done. http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Hand+Tools/Plumbers+Tools/Tap+Backnut+Spanner+12+34/d10/sd210/p43996 The Bahco wrenches do seem to be...

    Spanner? - An easy one

    Thank you everyone for your replies. I must say that I am a bit surprised, an awful lot in truth, that any professional plumber would use an adjustable wrench. I do already have a few, four I believe, of varying sizes and ages, but there are times when they do not fit confined spaces as...

    Spanner? - An easy one

    I would like to purchase a set of open ended spanners for DIY plumbing and would appreciate a list of common sizes that would be most useful. I do already have a few odd & very old spanners, some somewhat rusted that I inherited from my father & grandfather. 1/2 whitworth/BSW x2 plus a few...
