I have a Karcher K2.900 and the dirt blaster lance has stopped spinning. There is a trick to repair it with washers under the ball baring and I have also added one to the very end to limited success but I think its too far gone. Has anyone used the repair kits for the ends. Also the hose...

I have a no- name cheap pair of shears that drive me nuts - it depresses the pipe before it can locate the correct notch on the ratchet then when i do get it to start cutting it will not cut square I usually end up starting the cut and then stop squeezing and just turn the pipe. So I have had...

Well not only leaking but spraying in my face !. They were fine until I went to turn them off to do some work on a tap and as soon as they were in the off position water sprayed out of the area around the slotted head. I have known them to weep a bit but never that. In fact I don't ever recall...

Looking for a metric set that go's from 0.7 to 8mm or 10mm. I see sets by Bondhus (never heard of them ) has been mentioned on here before

Need a new kitchen mixer tap for a mate and looking it seems that the tails all come with 1/2 BSP screw on to connect to 15mm pipe. I have just re fitted my own tap and brought new tails and used the compression fitting straight onto a 15mm pipe. I much prefer this method but it seems that all...

Mainly for internal 15mm. I use a rothenberger pipe cutter the silver snap on type and it slightly bends over the inside of the pipe that to me looks like it needs deburring Thanks

First off what am I looking at here. Do I see some sort of back nut amongst all that rust. And if that is how the tap is fixed to the sink then what is the purpose of the plastic part with the slotted end. I am trying to find a photo example that is not rusted so I can see what I am up against...

I have been looking for this and it seems that it might no longer be available. Looking for the 2 tube set up like this. None of the main shopping sources sell it and from a quick google there are a few other shops that all seem to be out of stock. I can find plastic padding super steel which...

The white melamine edging that I have ever used always seems to be paper thin and shows every speck of dust underneath. Maybe I'm just buying cheap stuff, I have some now from selco that was £7 for 10m x 22mm and its thin. I have looked on the web for some and most do not state the thickness...

Just replaced my kitchen tap monobloc tails with new ones and noticed that the new ones are a smaller internal boar than the old ones that came with the tap. Does it matter , I do not notice any difference in water pressure out of the tap. - See picture for comparison.

This seems to be a common problem - why don't sink manufacturers reinforce that section. Anyway the first time I fitted the tap was about 15 years ago, I protected the tap tail area with cardboard and used spray foam to strengthen the area which worked ok. I have just refitted the sink to a new...

I am cutting kitchen worktop and used a circular saw and noticed the end of the cut is not square where the start of the cut is. Its a works saw with a De Walt blade. Is it technique or is something else going on. See left side bottom is not square. You are looking at the front edge of the...

My problem is that my inside measurement unit is 460mm when 464mm is needed. Can the B&Q soto drawer boxes be cut down width wise. Looking at the picture it looks like the base is wood and the back is a pressed steel form.

As per my other post about epoxy its only a small 900x800 area behind a cooker that gets food and grease stained. What is bad about using silicone as grout in my case. I have used it 100s of times and am very experianced with it, I would tape off the tiles first for a supa neat finish.

Its a kitchen cooker splashback 900 wide by 800 high tiles are 100mm square so the grout gets a splashing of all kinds of food stuff. I would like white and have been reading about epoxy grout but it seems that the grout itself go's yellow after a time anyway - although not stained. And its a...

Its a B&Q kitchen and the shelf supports don't seem to want to sit nice they start at an angle and you are suppose to bang on the shelf to get the ridges to bite into the hole and also at the same time there are 3 spikes that suppose to dig into the shelf - which they do not do very well and...

Has anyone done a waterfall mitre edge on kitchen worktop laminate. Where the worktop turns 90 degree and then go's down to the floor as an end support. My worktop is square edge so I could just sit one onto of another butt joint but thinking of mitring the edge instead. I have a hand held...
