Can't knock the stuff especially over shiny paintwork. Just on with full staircase, went in yesterday and gritted the place out! Going on like a dream today! Should get done earlier than expected and for £20 for ten litres it's as cheap as PVA with a lot less hassle on some jobs. Top gear and as...

'Febond Blue Grit has the additional benefit that it is plastered over when dry, taking the guess work out of drying times associated with PVA' I've always followed the tub and plastered directly over the stuff yet some people insist on PVA before it's skimmed over as well. I've never really...

Two 2.5m high pillars on top of a floor tile, really?!? What if the tile's been spotted down and crumbles up under the weight.

The old girl's back in action...

Mains, there's 240v either side of switch when it's pressed in

Thanks for the response John, yes there's power either side of the switch when the switch is pressed, release it and nothing so I'm pretty certain it's not the switch. The drill just stopped the other day. Initially I thought it was the armature so got a new one and replaced it (today). When it...

Hi, my Makita hr2470 hammer drill recently just packed in. Upon inspection, brushes, switch and armature (new one) are all fine. There is power going to all of these however nothing at all is happening. It doesn't attempt to do anything. Could this be in need of a new field magnet?!? As I've...
