    Using gripit fixings on a double plasterboarded wall

    I do not wish to be rude because I think your product is a good one, but by the time the average joe public has bought the fixings and the undercutting tool it makes the cost too expensive in my opinion.

    Garden maintenance

    If you can persuade your customers that taking grass cuttings away is a bad idea ( cost +aggravation) then buy a mulching mower that will fit in your van and not be too heavy to get in and out. Honda mowers are not cheap but they do last. Mike
