  • Just don't bother with DeWalt anymore, they are just a more expensive, yellow version of Black & Decker nowadays.

    Now if you really want to splash the cash then Milwaukee are the boss.

  • Probably all made in the same asian maquiladora anyway.

  • Oi this is a London forum all you hereford and worcester lot can go back there.

    Some of my best tools are wolf, and I suspect older than me. Have a large 240v hammer drill, 110v circular saw, and fins that if you look after them they will last years. Occasional replacement brushes and proper bearings. Have had to replace switches that have worn out. They are all corded while everything is going cordless.

  • Or look at either bosch blue or makita.

  • I've had the Makita and now the Festool circular saw and they're both pretty good, maybe not twice the price good. Festool have a cracking theft replacement guarantee too, any warranted product replaced for a flat £100.

  • married a clee hill lass, six toes, three breasts, all true..

  • hereford and worcs?!? do you even provinces???!!!!!1111one

  • agreed, festool a benchmark

    has this ikea cupboard been cut down already..?

  • has this ikea cupboard been cut down already..?

    Has this been resized yet?

  • Ah.
    Mine's Welsh and I'm on (but not from) the other Clee...

  • Big plans to start with the exterior decorating today but the weather is terrible.

    I can rub the front door down because I've got a porch and I've taken the gate off to do it inside on the workmate but this really is inconvenient.

    We're leaving end of Feb and I'm getting worried I'm going to run out of weekends to finish this project.

    Oh look - Saturday Kitchen is on.

  • Speaking of chainsaws, I borrowed my dads recently to remove a small tree from our garden, most fun with a power tool ever. Kill all the trees.

  • Kill all the trees.

    Are you designing your garden with an Isengard theme?

  • has anyone got a number/site for someone who can supply/cut/deliver Latvian birch ply in quite large thicknesses ie 30mm+ in the south east london area? Ta

  • Anyone good with boilers, or know someone who is? Leak I haz it, and I'm not going to start dicking around with it. Professional help required.

  • Sacredhart recommended a guy to me who serviced our boiler and was super honest. Nice bloke. Dunno whether he does full repairs but if I had an issue it would be him I'd call. I'll pm you his number.

  • Two out of six were nice and clean. Guess which ones I free handed?

    Wrong thread. You might be thinking of this one.

  • Nope, I mean my panic posting about cutting wood from earlier.

  • The offer to borrow the saw is still there if you want to true up the edge...

  • Cheers but the ceiling is so pissed it looks level

    It doesn't wobble as I've secured it to the wall and hired a small child to live under it.

  • Yes he does repairs too. Anything outside of that he would refer back to me.

  • Starfish your post really made me laugh back in the day I was a builder and used to advertise in Time Out I had to give up because people kept calling and asking for work to be done in their bedroom (men and women).

  • Has anyone had experience with removing a load-bearing wall? We're considering it, but have no idea of the costs involved. Any recommendations of structural engineers would be great.
