I hope so they was not cheap!

Saved a couple of 10 drawer Bisley cabinets from the skip today. A school in Redhill relocating to new buildings built on the same site, the amount of stuff getting chucked would have a seasoned skip diver in tears - chairs, desks, filing cabinets - all looking in reasonable condition.

I've still got the metric equivalent set that I got from Machine Mart circa 2007, had to replace about three only due to losing them but they have taken some abuse and not showing signs of wear

I have both and personally the m12 3/8 impact is better and faster

Better how? What are they both like for breakaway torque? Obviously it’s only 3/8 so I’ll only be going up to 19mm at most so it doesn’t need loads of torque but enough to shift something stubborn would be handy.

I get a lot of pain in my hands and arms so anything to reduce the repetitive ratchet motion would be great but don’t want to buy something that ends up being crap and I just end up doing it by hand anyway!

Just to be clear are you talking about the m12 stubby

Or the m12 right angle impact

I have the stubby impact gun and its amazing I havent found anything it can't do and its fast light in the hand and still gets into compact spaces. that's the problem with the ratchet its quite slow and doesn't have massive amounts of power, if you do want a ratchet ive heard that they are brining out a rapid version of the m12 ratchet so that maybe better.

I'm not saying don't get the ratchet its ok but get the stubby impact first its mint

Cheers. I have the M18 1/2” impact and it’s really good so I’m not surprised. I’ve just seen the right angled impact so that may be a better halfway house for me.

 

[123hotchef]

I got.the3/8 m12 and.1/2 m18 the 3/8 don't.come close. Torque wise but it has its place

 

[James1979]

They now do a mini 1/2” in m12. Same physical size and spec as the 3/8” one so you can use the same sockets.

I really dunno!!

It doesn't matter how many C spanners you have, there never seems to be one that perfect for the job.

If you have a plasma that is never an issue

Today I got the oversized ER40 collets, RDG don't believe in fast delivery
Also got the 45 degree neck for the EWM push pull torch. That came from Germany to RH Davey and them to me in half the time the collets took

 

[Kram]

I was going to say that Indexa set would be perfect if only it was 50% more expensive and included all of them upto 32mm.

Aye and that is exactly what it was, 50% of the Indexa price for these 5 collets and they are likely not the same quality although fine for the use I will have for them.

A few days ago my new Hattecker hair clippers arrived. Three cutting heads and a variety of combs plus a spare battery amongst other things.. Tried it out this morning, the comb and cutting blade just glided over my head without any pulling and it took a lot less time to trim. Very pleased with them.

That looks like the same one I bought & I've been very impressed with it. One (very small) warning: the fitted battery in the one I bought was fully charged and it came with a spare battery. I assumed the spare was also fully charged and kept using it until (after many months) the first battery ran out mid-hair-cut. I went and got the other battery expecting to just be able to carry on and found that the spare was provided flat, so I had to wait for a battery to charge before finishing my hair cut! The spare is now charged and ready to go for next time (when the battery finally runs out again).

Keyless MT2, ok light duty but how they can sell for £14 delivered and make profit? It wasn't even pre rusted.
