I admit, I have a workshop tool addiction :-)

Watch it every Thursday, it is on a 9pm but I record it so as to fast forward through the adverts, love it when Doug say "it will Kill"

The show from series 1 is being shown on BLAZE as well I believe..............http://www.blaze.tv/series/seasons?series=Forged In Fire

I like to think Doug was once a full blown samurai ninja bad ass but he does look like the chap from my local chinese......

My latest acquisition!!

It certainly looks impressive, but what does it do . . .

Little treat

More to the point, why is one reversible

I can have the drills set up to do a job without keep changing bits. Pilot in one, final size in next, countersink in another for example.

Tapping holes, but I have a Tapmatic for that so it probably wont get used much in reverse.

Been there, done that, got the T shirt!! Had an old gear driven one at my old job, no belts to slip, you soon learn!!

As long as the knob (me!) using it all day is there thats the main concern.

This just come up on a FB site .
Anglia tools have a discount 24 hrs ,,5% of everything
Use code 1MEBM24 ,,very tempted to get the Makita 3/4 18v wrench ,,@Shovelhands was it you that got one a bit back

 

[B R C]

@Lincs Lass did you miss a number 5% isn't much??!

 

[Lincs Lass]

@Lincs Lass did you miss a number 5% isn't much??!

not much maybe but Anglia tools are £50 cheaper the folkestone fixings and then take of the 5% makes it £70 less ,,worth it I recon

 

[Shovelhands]

Yes it was me who got one at Christmas time, what an animal it is! Amazing bit of kit

It's a heavy lump, but if your busting nuts that are 24mm plus, then you need a bit of weight and grunt!

As I've said before, I've got the smaller 1/2 inch, so the two compliment each other perfectly. Wouldn't be without either now!

Anyone else who has not got a digital vernier caliper set - Lidl have them on offer from tomorrow

Am going in for the £99.00 table saw tomorrow,
having bought a set of 5N0. 500mm long SDS+ drill bits on Mon, and then an SDS+ Drill on Tuesday, at £11.00 & £45.00 respectively.

Dont get a cheap table saw. Theyre no good

 

[marcusthehat]

Well I do intend to shamelessly "kick its tyres" before purchase, plus barefacedly return if unsatisfactory/unfit.
P.S.
I looked at some of B&Q's super-duper multi-wotsit-saw shite this afternoon

 

[marcusthehat]

Having brought the Parkside £99.00 saw home, and after tentative assembly , left it straight back.
Now looking at spending between £400.00 and £700.00 on either a Makita or DeWalt table saw/flip over saw.
Not that I really need either.
but I like good tools.
sigh!
mth
PS
You were absolutly correct Silliam Whale
Also, I note Makita and DeWalt(Elu as was) appear to have this particular product "stitched-up" between them.
