Hi, I'd be grateful for suggestions of what this tool is for. I have an idea that it is for an outdoor type of work.

Thank you picasso.

I don't normally feed trolls but in this case :LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:

Hi guys,as I mentioned in an earlier post Over that 10 years I quickly learned that some responders gave a straight knowledgeable answer to problems, some gave a reply clearly based on limited experience, but also that every reply gave food for thought. In this case the knowledgeable answer...

For Harry Bloomfield. Believe it or not, I couldn't manage to stand on the steps and operate a large car tyre footpump by hand. And anyway with only about 45mm clearance from the ceiling there was no room to get the valve connector onto the valve. Another 5 mins to unscrew the pipe and unhook...

For ianmcd

Just an update on my problem. Oilhead mentioned "failed expansion vessel" and, after genning up on the subject, I discovered that there was no air pressure in the EV and by tapping it, it was obvious it was full of water. It was a simple job to drain and take off the EV, pump out the water and...

Ianmcd Thanks, that sounds good to me!!

Thanks ericmark. That was my suspicion too."Think likely spot on, as a immersion heater thermostat and central heating boiler thermostat are unlikely to fail at the same time." My first post did say "pressurised system" which I imagined also meant "sealed system". So the answer to my real...

oilhead. Thanks, I'd rather guessed that the PRV was blowing off , so it's an inside the house job right enough. Thanks again.

ianmcd. Thanks Ian, first thing I did was put a new thermostat in. In fact I borrowed a second one to try with the same result!. I can live with that at the moment, it's the overheating DHW from the boiler that is the real problem. I'll phone the plumber on Monday although, as I say, I'm not too...

Hi there. Firsly I'm 75, asthmatic and have heart problems so have been lying very low during lockdown. The system is an oil fired Grant Vortex Eco boiler, pressurised system, Horstmann CentaurPlus C27 programmer and an immersion heater. Just after lockdown began, the boiler tripped and I reset...

Thank you Mr ? Woody. I've had a great deal of help from posters on this site when spending several years DIY gutting, renovating and extending a house to retire to. I have noted your frequent "helpful" posts to others and made my own judgement on them as I do with that one !!.

Hi, my son came down to paint the garden wall and found this crack in it. Looking at the coping, it has obviously been hit and I would bet it has been one of the 40ft lorries which are increasingly using our road. This left hand corner is really too sharp for them. I've been reading up about...

This shouldn't be a difficult job, it's only checking continuity over a couple of wires. Have a look online for an exploded diagram of your trimmer, then you can see how everything goes together/comes apart.

Spot on guys, very many thanks.

Hi, A friend has wooden windows with a narrow brass locking strip recessed into the bottom bar. It looks a bit like a short piece of a multipoint lock and has broken where it is operated by the internal handle. Can someone tell me please, the technical name for this type?. Regards, Bulltaco.

Bought a big Dewalt router from this company last week, no problems and very fast delivery. :)

Thanks for all of that. It looks like toothing is the simplest option then, it's actually blocks I'm using so I'll just set to with the stihl saw. It's what used to be external walls in what is now an extension. Thanks again.

Hi, I have several jobs needing fixings to brick/concrete to do on a renovation, the first one is to brick up a number of window openings. I've been offered a Spit 200 gun cheaply, would this be suitable for fixing brick ties to the sides of the windows?. Presumably a bigger model would be...
