Borrowing tools?? What kind of savage are you?Taipan wrote: ↑Tue May 18, 2021 1:00 pmWhen you live in a family household, or indeed on you own, tools such as these are needed. Never understood going into peoples houses and encountering a problem I can fix for them, but when asked they reply, we don't have any tools? Even if you don't use them, a mate helping you out might do.

Lovely looking and even better to hold. Need to do them justice now.

I do hope your Mrs has charged the battery on her phone to capture your DIY prowess and is able to earn plenty of £250s from You’ve Been Framed

Re: What have you done today thread?
I've recently bought a Makita drill and driver twin set and I have to say, I'm impressed with the quality and power from the batteries (LXT, 5aH 18v). So much so a hedge trimmer and lawn mower quickly followed.
Bit trumpy, but worth it.

270+ boy's toys to choose from. Some of which I have no idea what they do, not that that stops me wanting them.

Re: What have you done today thread?
I had a narrow escape today.
While clearing out my brother in law's house,my other BIL and myself were gutting the kitchen. He assured me the power to the oven was off before I cut the wire.
It wasn't.
The resulting bang blew a chunk out of my knife and scared the shit out of him at least! Fortunately I was wearing rubber work gloves,or things may have been very different.
I wanted to take a pic of the damaged blade,but I've lost it today. More annoyed about that than my near miss.

I bought the missus one of the vacuums. Let her know how lucky she is to borrow one of my 1.5a batteries.

Re: What have you done today thread?
Today I went into Guy's Hospital first thing in the morning to have the Wolverine Spike remove from my finger. Just on 3.4cm long and it slid out with no pain. Train back home and straight out to take home communion to a couple who are still shielding.
Then assisted at a funeral and made sure the livestream worked properly so other family members up North could watch.
Back home, sorted out some work, then fetched the wife, stir fry and prosecco for dinner. Compline at 9pm and then an hour and a half of prayer.

Spent far too long in the car, home to work, work to Flint, Flint to home, google tells me I spent over 6 hours driving today that's nearly as much time as I get to sleep in a day / night.
