My current Stanley knife has been awkward to use for years, I don't really know why but the blade has always been difficult to slide in or out, really should have replaced it years ago but anyway today it has died, it was not natural causes. So am in the market for another, is there a better...

Whatever!

So whilst I had to fix a leaky feed hose for the washing machine, I decided to get it onto some of those track runners, afterwards I noticed this appear on the floor. I'm assuming its from the W/M, the machine has been making a bit of a banging noise lately on the wash cycle but as it's ancient...

As per the title, is it still worth having the Floors, Stairs and Loft Section of the forum? That section seems pretty dead with hardly anyone answering anything in there, lofts and floor questions are often better off in the Building section, floors finishes and stairs questions seem more...

So we have a chair in the house, it's quilted velvet with studs, one of the studs has been pulled out by getting snagged on someones clothing or something, I need some ideas how to stick it back in effectively. My only ideas are either a glue gun to just glue it in place or to attach a thin...

They all have similar (that it is some peculiar name followed by a space and then four numbers), just seems a bit odd: (All removed) I mean I know I've replied and the last one seems legit but just seems a bit weird!

So my Ikea Billy Bookcase wall unit is coming along and soon I will be painting it, though I still have some holes to fill, the skirting and then an MDF cover strip will hide all of the joints. On the sides, the MDF butt up against the wall, the wall is painted (about 18months ago) in Dulux...

Why am I seeing this crap now? It's bad enough when I had to click past it to get on the site but now I seem to have to put up with it being on my peripheral all the time, I get it on a PC and a mobile device? DIYnot, you're an embarrassment and have the IT knowledge of a seven year old.

I'm after some safety glasses, something like the pic below, preferably not goggles but with a standard magnification of 1.75, I know you can get prescription ones but really, seeing as my eyes are pretty even I was hoping to get some off the shelf jobbies. Does anyone know of any suppliers that...

Over the colder months it would be nice to have a heat source in the garage/workshop for the odd days I spend a few hours or so in there, the garage is single skin, single glazed, no insulation, an ice box in winter, I'm thinking of buying a crappy stove off Marketplace, making up a chimney...

I need to create a length of skirting, I will have to make some rebates in it with a router to match the existing skirtings, it will be painted and completely out of sight in anycase, will this do...

Any suggestions or links? I seem to predominantly use PZ2 screws, any recommendations from the usual suspects? I only recently bought an impact driver and I've been using up a set of Dewalt (non impact) bits over the last few weeks or so (went through six in about half hour on a recent project)...

Saw this advertised for sale, the seller doesn't know what it is, any ideas? Just curious, cast iron I guess.

What's the best kind of wood filler to fill all of the redundant shelf holes, I'm steering towards Toupret wood filler as it's a trusted brand and I've used Toupret before albeit on a wall https://www.toolstation.com/toupret-wood-repair-filler/p10260 I'll be painting over them at the end...

So I bought this extension driver set https://www.screwfix.com/p/dewalt-6-35mm-hex-shank-mixed-impact-torsion-screwdriver-bit-set-14-pcs/2738K?kpid=2738K&ds_rl=1244066&gclid=CjwKCAjwvpCkBhB4EiwAujULMuRJqcXKA3r6meHhhLMFS5OC5L-D9E8hygbx9cjd7Cx1ku4n6-IOXhoCCBAQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds but (here's the...

Gonna treat myself to an impact driver, it's strictly for DIY use and I'm unlikely to ever need to screw in any more than about twenty screws or something, I've narrowed it down to either: this - £120, 170N and has 2 x 2.0A batteries...

I have a cheap 125mm angle grinder and I need to cut about 4 concrete paving slabs in half, they're about 44m thick and I expect I will need to cut from one side and then flip over and cut again. Any recomnedations on blade type? I have these atm...

Err :unsure:

So I have a smart TV, an LG 55QNED816QA TV, it has spare HDMI's available and an Optical out, I would like to rig it up to a conventional (old school) amplifier and speakers, the amp has phono inputs, having a bit of a google it seems different options may be available but what conversion...

So I have a knife, annoyingly only a year or so old, it's broken as per the pic, now I have a replacement already sent out by the manufacurer but seeing as the knife bit is still pretty sharp I'd like to see if I can get some more life out of this one by gluing it back together, I figured I...
