0.96" is the internal diameter of the tap adapter where the thread is. So do any 1/2" taps come with an outlet that is less than 3/4" I assume none do as there doesn't seem to be a tap adapter designed for less than 3/4". One question if you have a hose/pipe bore 1/2" and you then add the...

So if you have a hose connector with a quick connector on one end and a internal female thread on the other side to connect to a tap that measures 0.96" thats actually meant for 1/2" tap not a 3/4" tap? Where you have a tap connector on a hose which has 2 different internal size threads (a...

Looking online I'm seeing conflicting information. It seems garden hose is sold under its imperial bore size be it 1/2" or 3/4". Then you have outside taps that are listed as 1/2" and 3/4" but does that refer to their connectors or the bore internally etc? Then you have garden hose...

That specification is a con. The AEG model with 64Nm power is the BSB18 not BSB18G. I bought one from TJ Hughes for £62 when they were clearing out stock after christmas. Even on Amazon they have the wrong newton metre specification but this is the model...

I often buy Tesco Value range products some of it has been fantastic quality despite the low price other products poor. For example I used to use Tesco Value toothpaste. Did the job and I had no complaints. Then suddenly the quality dropped and I noticed the toothpaste was now made in china...

I think its a screwfix exclusive brand i.e. a shop brand meaning its basically generic chinese products which can be good and bad. Screwfix just import them. Check the link to instructions on the screwfix site for a titan power tool you'll probably find screwfix mentioned as the importer in the...

You don't need to do that with lithium in fact the opposite is true they are better being topped up regularly and get damaged if fully discharged. In fact they often have cell protection where they prevent the battery getting fully discharged. Apologies if I've misunderstood your post and you...

Actually from what I understand the small wattage motors can be more efficient because if you give a low power motor a easy task and a dewalt an easy task the cheap drill will keep going for for longer assuming its battery is true to its capacity. The dewalt uses more power even for easy tasks...

I wouldn't say a 18V cordless equates to a 350 watt motor. Remember a 1.5Ah battery equates to powering a device for 1hr that consumes 1.5 amps. The motor itself could draw only 0.5 amps and last 3 hrs or use 3 amps and last 1/2 hr. I know a 18v drill that has a 150 watt motor where as dewalt do...

Well it seems you've got every possible answer in this thread; ignore, repair or bin. Your probably no wiser than when you started it :)

You could try zapping them back to health but I've only done it to nicads not nimh. I believe nimh is capable of being zapped but without the success rate that nicads have.

I think the electric brake of many cordless drills will cause sparking. Also on well used drills worn carbon brushes will cause sparking. I have an old Bosch drill about 30 years old and it does spark a bit but its plastic bodied. As long as it works I use it. However if it was metal bodied I...

Almost having broken wrists is not funny either. I was using a drill that I thought had a safety clutch but it either didn't or was faulty. Anyway I was using a fairly large core drill drilling into a concrete block. When the bloomin thing locked all I could do was jump away. From then on made...

They could still be buying in the metal part of the screwdriver in bulk from china and fitting the handle and packaging the end product. This means they can use the 'made in germany' selling feature even though the core part of the product is chinese. This reduces their costs and allows them to...

There are lots of once proud german brands that now outsource production to china. Doesn't mean its bad though as some of its is great quality especially for the price but it doesn't sound like CK Modulo have used a good factory.

I'd definitely get a few more prices before commiting to a purchase from them. In their unbelievable prices clearance section they have this; http://www.itslondon.co.uk/pd_AEGBS12C2LI_BS12C2LI_AEG12vLithiumionCordlessDrillDriverPackage.htm But its available from tj hughes for well under...

Don't buy a nicad based drill with only one battery. You'll be tempted to recharge before its fully discharged shortening its life. Nicad batteries should be fully discharged before charging to maximise life. This is because many nicad drills come with simple timed chargers that will charge for...

Some pressure washers need running in a little while and can be sensitive to the tap pressure entering them so sometimes you need to adjust the water tap itself so the pressure isn't too high or too low. Generally Silverline like Draper and many shop brands are importing basic products from...

If anyones thinking of getting any Ryobi or AEG gear at TJ Hughes there is a 20% off voucher available at the moment that lasts until the end of tomorrow.

Its probably the 3rd best combi cordless drill that techtronics make after the HD18 and V28 in the Milwaukee range. Thats best in overall power rather than usefulness for all tasks as its a bit of monster at about 3.1kg. Easily more powerful than all the Ryobi range of cordless combi drills. The...
