Today I acquired...........

How do the fire glow compare with other brands, including Zip? Looking on Amazon just to get an idea of prices, they look like they may be a bit cheaper than the zip ones we normally buy from Tesco.

Never had zip,I couldn’t reliably comment on comparisons.

Must be a day for Red deliveries



Been tempted by the 1/4" high speed ratchet for a while, for those awkward jobs, and got offered one for a too good to refuse price

Welcome on board!

Start selling any other cordless tools you have and splurge on a wide range of m12 and m18 tools. You know it makes sense just accept your fate now

not had the pull to them myself used them liked them but not enough to make a change

What was wrong with the depth gauge? Was it giving the all 0000000s display, by any chance?

No, the previous owner had dropped it, more than once I think and the thimble was binding, they have replaced the whole mechanism by the looks. Smooth as silk now. It was giving an error too, but I cannot remember what it was. Not important now as it is as good as new.

I have all deWalt but because they are getting heavy I have started with the 12volt Milwaukee stuff, even my missus stole some of it, just right for her, or so she says.

 

[Craig-SM]

I can’t knock the M12 kit, plenty of power and compact. The High Output batteries are definitely worth investing in.
Not sure what your usage is but recommend the soldering iron, die grinders and rotary tool as you already have the stubby torque gun. Next on my list is the M12 planer.

What gauge nails does that use?

Milwaukee packs of staples. Don't think they're that dear from what I remember, not as cheap as loose in bulk but not that much more.

If it's as good as the Bosch version, a worthwhile spend. They're so light a compact that they're a pleasure to use.

Sorry. Just seen he said stapler. I wasn't paying attention.

I don't think it's that light either...

Funnily enough our fencers were using one last week and yep it's quite heavy!

Bought 4x750ml cillit bang spray bottles
It has been everything but cheap, I'll be using it very consciously
Have to order it through Amazon because it's banned by European community, and that's why I've spent an entire day seeking for it in various shops nearby
@brightspark did I get the right one?
I remember you said it was suitable to remove rust from taps and dies

probably spray a bit on to a dirty copper coin and it will shine it up

 

[JOEPRO]

2x good used genuine Milwaukee M18 12.0 high output batteries and another rapid charger

@Memmeddu
Can you get Viakal? Another scale eating spray.

Yes I can but I didn't know it worked on rust so I've sticked with what it's been advised

Banned in Europe, really ?

It's phosphoric acid, I believe.

What to do with all those little sauce pots McDonald's give you that you don't want?
