What would you recommend as the a good Sledge Hammer, wight, materiel, made from etc for D.I.Y.? My old one was nicked thanks.

Its a narrow space like I said so washing it down would be difficult. My normal shed/fence paint is Cupernol Forrest Green

Who makes it?

I need advice on buying a product that will clean algae form my shed wall before painting. The shed wall faces the neighbours shed so does not get a lot of sunlight. I paint the shed every year but I noticed that this year the algae is quite bad due to lots of winter rain and no sunlight. I am...

Would my old HD Magnet work? They are very strong!

I have a Mira Jump Shower. The other day I noticed it goes hot even when the switch is set to cold. The only way to get it to cold is to put it on Eco setting. New thermostat needed, switch or new shower?

I thought it would be fine. Thanks

I need to paint a garden clothes pole. I have sanded and washed it all down. The top part though was quite rusty and I had to use wire brush attachment on my drill and sand paper. Could I use some blue Hammerite Paint that I have as primer before painting? Would it be ok then to just paint...

All done! In the end I just used my friend Stanley lol. Whittled bits of the shaft until it would go in the head. It split a bit with the metal wedge but there is no way its coming off! LOL. Thanks All. :)

That's what I thought thanks. I also got a shaft for a Chipping Hammer. They both come with 1 metal wedge. The chipping hammer seems fine though with just the one metal wedge. But its not as heavy as the Lump.

That would be a lot less hassle lol
