I think you will find Depth of backbox really depends on the type of network cable you are going to use. If it's just Cat 5 I don't think you will have any problems, that cable is pretty tough and can handle tight bends, but if using Cat 6 or Cat 6A (even worse). you are limited by the bend...

I've also gone for Garadget, ordered it in from the UK. And I have to say it's brilliant! Easy to setup, and just works. I'm using it with a Chamberlain door opener. I'd been looking for a solution for ages, as we have our Freezer in the garage, and I've always been frustraed having to come...

I wonder if you could use hot melt glue from a glue gun?

With my 718 saw (previous model) I can only repeat what everyone is saying about the 7023 stand, it really is a good study stand but additionally, when I'm only cutting small things, not requiring the 5 meter timber supports, I use a smaller DEWDE7035 saw horse stand and the saw mounts fit this...

I've seen the record ducting system up at D&M tool show, and I did not feel it was mega expensive, but the one nice feature, is that the ducting is clear tube, so if there is a blockage, at least you can see it. I would assume if you use 4" sewer pipe, should there be a blockage, you are going...

I saw some UVEX safety glasses at Screwfix live about 4 years ago, UVEX were at the show, and I said my frustration with safety glasses was the issue you describe of misting. She said try these ones, they had a coating on them, were scratch proof, (I tried using wire wool) and mist proof, (no...

Back when we used them on our products in the factory we called them Starlocks. Not sure if that is the real name, it was the ones that also had a chrome cover over the inner bit.

In no way the highest quality tool, but for £2.99 at Lidl, they have got us out of trouble a couple of times at work when we have rounded out some hex screws. Problem is I don't know if they are still available in Lidl as the offers always change...

So, I took advice from the forum and purchased 6 cameras and a XDH 8 channel HDD recorder from CCTV Direct, thinking I have the skills to do the install. I've pulled the shotgun cable into all positions, used screw on connectors for the video signal, powered everything up and I just get a...

Providing there is not a fault with the SDS chuck, You simply push the bit into the chuck, don't pull back the collar on the chuck, simply push the bit in, you don't need to line up the slots or anything like that, it should just go in and click when secure. you then pull back the chuck...

I think divers rub toothpaste into the lens to prevent misting, but I might have misunderstood that idea?

bit longer than you need, and probably available cheaper online http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/DRRCR15.html 5m shorted and half the price...

Actually........Not to late, it's always nice to see a thread I started years ago resurface, in the end I purchased a IM65a Palsode gun for internal trim fixings, I've not yet committed to the 1st fix nail gun I was considering all that time ago, for DIY, I can't justify it. I'll stick to...

If you have money to burn, Armeg make a tool for exactly this job! http://www.armeg.com/AHC_Stabilizer-A00090.asp

I must admit, whenever I buy a product that comes with raw plugs, they always go straight in the bin, I'm happy with 'Tower' red plugs from TLC, always been happy with them combined with Screwfix Size 4 or 5 Trade Goldscrews.

yep, I'd say when cutting thick material, let the tool cut forward at it's own pace, if you push the tool forward forcing it through the wood, I too find the blade cuts at an angle. Also check that the tilt on the base is set at a true 90 degrees

personally, I'd buy a belle minimix 150, ok, it will cost about £350 but keep it clean once you've used it, and you will sell it for at least £300 on ebay second hand, much cheaper than hiring and I'm sure it will be a lot easier to sell a Belle mixer (loved by builders) on ebay than it would be...

Hi, I have an old (10 - 15 years at a guess) whirlpool AKG 666 inbuilt oven, the bulb has just gone, but looking at the bulb I have no idea whether it's a 15 watt bulb or a 25 watt bulb, it does not say anywhere on the bulb? The instructions are long gone, they did not come with the...

ebay looks like the place to start my friend, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MAKITA-CORDLESS-DRILL-AND-JIGSAW-CARRYING-CASE-LXT231-/310215085086?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item483a428c1e#ht_1007wt_907 Unfortunately, I have no knowledge of Makita tools and whether your particular jigsaw...

We have an old Potterton boiler in our house, next year we planned to put a new boiler condensing combi boiler out in the garage so we can install a downstairs loo, today we noticed that the 45 degree elbow coming from the top of the boiler to the vertical flue has broken/cracked? I'm...
