As a plumber I'm sick of routing through my bits tray looking for a sharp 4mm or 7mm bit. I had a few cheap Bosch sets recently (shiny) chrome but they all loose their tip quickly. I've just made a right meal out of a simple door stop in a concrete floor with my 18V 3 speed Makita and I'm...

This looks interesting and I'd like to know its purpose? :shock: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Makita-BVR350RFE-18-Volt-Li-Ion-Vibrating-Poker-/300895526320?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item460ec55db0

I've just done a silly thing and ruined my Trend KWJ900 jig, the router somehow slipped out due to the other side of the jig in fresh air and I've gouged a 160mm long section about 3mm deep. :cry: Can these be repaired? I thought of using some kind of woodfiller but I doubt the jig would...

Just replaced my old green 450W Bosch jigsaw (12 years old maybe) that had just worn out, I bought the newer model this time and it lasted all of a month of light use before the trigger packed up and when I really needed it aswell. I replaced like for like as I was happy with the old one even...

Hi guys, first post in this sub forum... 2005 Vauxhall Combo, the remote central locking now only works when I'm either in the van or when I'm stood outside right next to the drivers door with the key pressed against my head (little trick to improve the range). I've replaced the battery...

Not had mine stolen yet but just wondered what people do to keep theirs safe. Over the years I've amassed quite a selection of powertools, mostly Makita, Dewalt and Bosch and I'm getting worried now that if they were ever stolen I would be totally stuffed. The ones I have to keep in my van...

Just wondered what their target market was, you don't see many domestic tradesmen with Festool stuff. A grand for a mitre saw and £152 for the hose to connect it to the extractor, thats serious money. Are they the premium, Rolls Royce of powertools or can you spend more?

http://www.makita-direct.co.uk/acatalog/Makita_KP312_Planer.html Don't want anything fancy, just the front door could do with a shave as its a little tight. :lol:

I've been looking at these for a few months now and last thursday decided to get the Makita 8406 from Plumbfix thinking it would be delivered the next day. Disapointingly it wasn't and found out I had to wait until today (29th) for delivery. I waited for Parcel Farce all day but nothing, I'm...

Hi We have some plasterers in today skimming a newly plasterboarded bedroom (dot & dab), they were done in no time and the finish is great. They did however only skim over once with quite a thin coat as its already starting to dry. I was under the impression it was 2 skims for new...

I know this may sound a silly question going by what it smells like but can someone confirm what it actually is? I've searched google and this forum but cannot find an answer. I did find that its still quite comman in the US though? :oops:

Hi all, First time I've posted on here, I'm a plumber who has been asked to turn a downstairs utility room into a shower room with shower enclosure and basin, no bath. The utility room is to be split into a shower room and a dressing room The consumer unit is in the corner of what will...

we are building an extension at home and will shortly be laying the sandstone blocks. The rest of the bungalow (1930's) has grey raised pointing, but I have heard this isn't the best way of doing it? If we decide not to use this method and just point flush, can we do it as we build by...

Round here Yorkshire Water have a scooping device to remove soil over an external stoptap, it has two 'buckets' and scoops dirt up which can be pulled out. I've had a couple lately where I've just not been able to get far enough down and I've had to call them out. Does anyone know where I...

I've just installed a bathroom and the customer is so overjoyed she wants me to paint the ceiling. Its a small to medium size bathroom with 4 downlighters and a fan, its been skimmed perfectly (by my good self) with two coats of board finish with zero imperfections or polished areas. I've...
