How much was that? I tried to make one with an old Roller frame but didn't work very well. _________________ I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"

i just bought a wood beaver 20mm drill bit. one of those thats similar to the irwin blue grove things. i bought it to try out. though am yet to use it. though i did remove it from its packaging so i could seal the packageing in a stud wall alongside a packet for a trend snappy plug cutter (i sometimes do random sh*t like that when im at work. seal random things into walls)
i also grabbed a packet of dewalt ph2 bits today aswell as imo cant beat dewalt driver bits for the price of a box of 25
ohhh almost forgot. i bought a marshall town brick laying trowel the other day aswell. i only ever do patch up work but i figured why buy a trowel for £10 plus that is gna end up rusty when i can buy a decent make that is clearly gonna outlast the cheapo brand for £25 ish |

Was given a load of tools by my Dad, so not strictly bought...
Various imperial sockets and spanners, sold a fair bit of it for him, and kept some.
All SnapOn, most of it is older than me, but still in good condiditon.
I kept the small 3drawer chest, PH3 & PH4, 1/2" flat blade screwdrivers, 4 3/8" drive screwdriver bits- 2xflat, pz3 and pz4, scraper, chisel and punch set, Tap and die set. A fair haul :)
The few bits i didnt want i traded in £34 credit, bought a 5mm ball end hex screwdriver, and kept the rest as credit for now.
Also bought a 8" adjustable to go with my lathe (only a draper expert) _________________ Why isn't the number 11 pronounced onety one? |
