Forge Steel Double Edged Wallboard Saw review

Attachment:

I recently purchased one of these from screwfix. I was going to buy the one that they had on special offer for ages for just £1 but they had sold out.

This is a very handy ...

 Post subject: Maglite torches - lifetime warrantee.
PostPosted: Sat Apr 28, 2012 12:40 pm 
We all know about Maglite torches, and many of us older ones will have owned one or two I guess.

Well, one of mine wasn't working, so I tried to replace the batteries, but one had leaked.
As I have always used Duracell I was a little pee'd off as they are not meant to leak - I tried to get out the leaky thing but couldn't.
2 minutes worth of googling told me that ...

 Post subject: Lion branded 'Draper Expert' pliers sold on eBay
PostPosted: Thu Mar 08, 2012 5:13 pm 
The eBay seller claims that these are the same as the Draper Expert 200mm Vde Hi leverage Slimline Diagonal Side Cutter, and that the items were made to be sold under the Lion brand. However, there are some surface and finish imperfections on these that make me think they may just be cheap knock offs. Also, the stated length of 200mm is actually just over 210mm. I don't have any real Draper Expert or Knipex ...

The make is parkside - which unless I'm wrong is the make Lidl's sells - and there's nowt wrong with a lot of their gear. But because it's so cheap ...

OK, then. Is there anyone else out there with big, W - I - D - E plates of meat like wot I 'as? In a shoe I take a 10.5 size in a 4E width fitting. Which means that if my toes were webbed I'd be able to swim really fast....... But they aren't, so I can't, so I have to work as a carpenter and joiner. Which gets us back to wide boots. ...
