I present, the Ryobi to Parkside battery adapter! Use your [expensive] Ryobi batteries on your cheap Parkside tools. :cool: Also for Ryobi fans, I notice that our Chinese friends are getting industrious with their 3d printers and there are some good, but cheap tools available now. I've...

Is anyone using Japanese wood chisels? I've been looking at trying some out, and seeing what everyone is raving about, but one thing that bothers me is the apparent small scope for resharpening. The backs are hollow ground, so it occurs to me that after a few sharpenings, there is no flat...

What can cause at PEN device to trip randomly? The EV connector is wired to it's own CU, which is in turn split from a Henley block, so is on its own circuit. The PEN device trips randomly, sometimes it can be weeks between, sometimes several times a week. It can trip when the EV is connected...

Not one of mine! :cautious: Love the sigh at the end.

Has anyone used Owatrol Colour Restorer on faded roofline plastics and other exterior pipes and suchlike? Does it work? How long does the restored colour last?

Is anyone using a pure water / deionised water window cleaning kit? Any recommendations for a basic setup for home use off a tap - buy a kit or buy the items separately? And how long does the resin last if unused? Thanks

Ebay I can see this being useful at least twice a day, either way suck it up you Makita and Dewalt fan bois. :p

Technology eh? :rolleyes:

I fitted my CH just over 20 years ago, and used no name TRVs. These have a plastic nut/innards (the bit you see when you take the TRV head off) and the plastic is crazed and cracking. So I thought about replacing them with a valve that is brass not plastic, but notice that some of the leading...

I have a hardwood door frame from Wickes, and just unwrapped it to get ready to fit, and there is a massive rebate all around the frame. It's about 2.5mm deep and I wondered why is it there, and if I'm going to get problems sinking the hinges - or not sinking them? Another annoying thing...

So, Monkey Pox is being rebranded to Mpox once the copyright paperwork has been agreed with Hanson. BBC News - Monkeypox given new name by global health experts https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-63782514 And it seems another disease has already been rebranded on the sly. Apparently that new...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-63635721 A sad tale of what seems many facets. However, a coroner's conclusion that mould killed this child and the media hysteria does not bode well. This appears to be a classic condensation case. There may be other things that have...

... to stick to a vinyl tarpaulin and stay stuck. Duct tape don't. DPM joint tape won't

Falling fruit is apparently a H&S issue. But what about the twigs? Who says people can't get hurt by snowflakes. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-63156505

A few of the TRV valves I fitted 21 years ago have started to leak - looks like the plastic nut (?) etc at the top has gone brittle and is starting to disintegrate. Oddly some others fitted at the same time are OK, but probably worth swapping now too. Anyway, are there any recommendations for a...

It's on the internet so it must be right, and the experts (some on here IIRC) have touted the Caravan Act as a way to usurp planning law and get whatever you want for less money and sod the neighbours. Well, not for this couple. Not even the sad compo faces will help...

Can anyone recommend a sanding pad with arbor and buffing/polishing discs that will fir this Bosch mini-grinder?

I'm after recommendations for undersealing and rust proofing/treating the underside of a car. Chassis, cills, maybe the floor pan although that seems in good nick, and main components such as wishbone arms and roll bars and such like. There is some flaky metal, but not a great deal, and the...
