    Makita Jigsaws- Anyone got one? The 4351fct & djv181z

    Using tapered edge plasterboard for wet skim

    did about 100sqm a couple of months ago with tapered edges as I thought I will just fill them in and be done with it, than changed my mind and decided to plaster them as well,no problems whatsoever , few outside corners that I had also didn't give any problems. Didn't really even thought much...

    Kitchen Cabinets- How would you fix this?

    I want to change hardware and paint my very old kitchen cabinets that came with the house when I bought it as they are still in reasonably good nick and would probably come up rather decent after a refurb. However there is some flaking melamine at some parts of the cabinet doors or whatever that...

    Walk-in Shower, Anyone built one? Looking for tips

    Thanks Rob for the answers ,Yes I guess the proper term would be a wet room, So after you create the base from plywood you just paint it with that waterproofing liquid and that's it you are ready to tile over it? ( I would be making it myself as the ready made solutions aren't in the size I want...

    Bosch 10.8v VS Makita 10.8v Drill? Which one for electrician?

    For some reason he doesn't likes impact drivers ( too loud..) and I have never seen him actually using one even he got access so would be just a waste of £££ ,nah corded is no option.

    Bosch 10.8v VS Makita 10.8v Drill? Which one for electrician?

    I have a charger and few spare 10.8v bosch batteries I can give away, so don't need that stuff :) I do have top of the range makita 18v stuff myself, but my Dad thinks that my large 18v makita drill is too heavy and cumbersome for his type of stuff ( it actually is) and the 18v impact driver...

He just needs it for light tasks and...

    Best Reasonably priced Impact driver bits?

    My box of 10 milwaukee shockwave impact driver bits is finished after just half a year non-constant use, I'm not 100% sure that I would want to order another box of them as half of the bits had some manufacturing defects(weirdly shaped defective heads ) the rest which looked good also performed...

    After a Cordless Jigsaw - What's good out there?

    after doing more hunting I have started to like the DJV181Z ,the newest brushless model, but £160 for it.. fuuk..sounds extremely overpriced for a rough cutting tool I wont be using everyday. Seems like bosch has pretty nice 18v jigsaw as well, the gst 18 v-li s , and at £105 much more...

    After a Cordless Jigsaw - What's good out there?

    btw can you cut comfortably 50mm stuff with your bosch? what's the max thickness you have tried to do with it? and how is the battery life on them?

    Thanks mate, well I bought my GST135BCE used at around 6years old, probably one of the best jigsaws when released, however with age (now at 10years old as well it has started to develop some problems ) it also has started to speed up itself to the highest speed out of a sudden from time to time...

    After a Cordless Jigsaw - What's good out there?

    My jigsaw bosch gst135 although is a beast and still works fine is just super heavy, pretty hard to control due to size/weight and likes to snap blades like there's no tomorrow, there's also no dust blowing function, maybe it's just broken, dunno. and the worst of all- It has a Cord which I...

    Wonky vegetables- just another marketing scam?

    Seems like the latest fad, pack up bunch of random normal vegetables and sell them for the same/higher price than just the regular vegetables, tesco are doing now 5 wonky vegetables for 30p , and people are going nuts that now they can get 5 whole carrots for 30p...

    Best disposable Handsaws?

    my past 3 disposable handsaws have been the irwin jack ones which sells under £10 , great saws but I think they last me only some 3-4months before they get bent/distorted and you can't cut straight with them anymore. Time to buy another saw and was wondering maybe there is something even better...
