If I'm understanding you correctly, you are saying it's a tight fit for a standard panel and that's why they fail early? If so, why not just shave a few mm off the width of the panels with a circular saw?

I generally use a polycarbonate face shield rather than safety specs to avoid the problem you describe (in low to medium peril situations).

If you are concerned about the impact of dust on your health you might want to give a bit more thought to the extractor itself. Although it says 'Dust Extractor' in the description it's really a chip extractor - it only filters down to 35 micron and it's the stuff smaller than this that is the...

If you go for it I think you will find yourself using it more than you envisage. I have the Makita 610 (and a touch of 680 envy). With a 4Ah battery it will happily rip about 80ft of 18mm sheet material, maybe more on one charge. It will cope with wet pressure treated 4*2's if you take your time...

The Friedland bell push is a wireless unit that would normally run from 3 AAA batteries. The corresponding wireless chime unit for it ran from 4 C cells. I know because I used to have one. The wires in the bell push are non standard and have been added by someone, presumably to power it from a...

So someone nicks your phone and all your batteries stop working. Hmm, progress eh?

Most of what they sell these days is Chinesium tat. I have the vague notion that many years ago they used to sell slightly better stuff. Probably because nobody made anything quite that useless in those days.

Yes. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=lawn+aerator&biw=1487&bih=826&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0ahUKEwix8O7TxOzRAhUMI8AKHStTBhEQ_AUICCgD

I didn't say it. Alan Augustus Brown did.

For those sick of all the whining about Trump https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/178844 Donald Trump should be invited to make an official State Visit because he is the leader of a free world and U.K. is a country that supports free speech and does not believe that people that appose our...

Eh? I wouldn't dream of using customers tools. Plus if they had all the neccesary kit I doubt they'd need a handyman.

More Power! as Clarkson would say

Yes, one of the benefits of the Makita 18V range is the sheer number of tools that run from the same batteries and that can be bought bare. It's worth figuring out what you want and running the numbers - it will definitely be cheaper to get the batteries and charger as part of a kit rather than...

Started slow and built up over time. I don't market myself, it's mostly word of mouth and repeat business with a bit of new stuff coming from a website. I do gardening, decorating and general carpentry (amongst other things). What do you want to know specifically?

I use old bed sheets if neccesary.

No, ime the pro branded ones are not substantially better. I have a DeWilt and a couple of green Bosch ones. The only practical difference is the DeWilt is tougher and has better impact resistance. There really isn't much to them - a heating element and a fan so not a lot of scope for...

Why is the outside face of the wall getting wet enough to soak through?

I've used the Milwauke ones - a box of 25 lasted a couple of weeks. A single Wera Bi Torsion (in a Bi Torsion bit holder) lasts me a couple of months. Anything else is a false economy.

Looks like a variety of cordyline australis.

Thry're plain wrong. Refugees are not welcome here. We're full.
