I foresee you spending half your life looking for the gun once sat on a cluttered bench , it blending in with its surroundings.
I did think that but I also thought it might not stand out quite so much next time the thieving pykie scum come back!!

altho id keep a selection of coils here i dont have any V-coil ones, ive looked at it before, it looks to be quality from the look of it.
broke the 8.4 drill tho....., was it that brittle or a hands up job.
nice set tho, you wont use it often but when you do its worth its weight in gold.

The drill is just far to sharp, you only shave off a little bit and it feeds in like crazy. Also quite brittle though, instead of breaking clean off it shattered. My mistake though, behind the hole was a gear and it jammed in between two teeth.
Your first cobra pliers? Best thing since sliced bread, grips like nothing else and really not that expensive.

Real quality tools are often "expensive" in my experience but almost always better value.

Yes, the thin diameter cut can be tricky, the teeth on the gear, a boobie trap. ?

Yes, first cobra pliers, have Nws and rothenberger here but more normal sizes.

I hate having a task at hand and not having the right tool for it.
that's justification to whip out the card in my book..., or so id tell the wife neways.
Had the call for a decent pair of pump pliers so i opted for these.

you'll be buying the other sizes soon...... they're awesome.

I killed my bosch impact.

It seems that putting a half inch adapter into a battery screwdriver and treating it like a 1/2 inch milwaukee is going to cause problems.


Now the question is what to replace it with?

Bosch do this funky concept of a 1/2 square drive with a 1/4 hex drive inside it: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bosch-GD...872066&hash=item3b315fdcb2:g:IQ4AAOSwR0Bc2taa

it's beefier than what I had, but not dramatically so.

does anyone else do a similar concept? I'm torn on what to do.

just replace it with a basic screwdriver, this one lasted 5 years.

replace it with the the combo

say f**kit and change brands, try and sell my bosch kit while it's still current. Sadly I got into it just as the milwaukee stuff was getting good.

I've got a tool addiction but......

I'm not the big boss, purchasing department or manager so I've got to survive by buying second hand workshop kit. Was wondering the best places to get industrial gear like plasma, eBay is alright but the gear is expensive for what it is. Where would you lot look for deals, auction sites etc.

Got single, three phase 415 16amp and three phase 415 32amp so power is no issue ⚡
