Silly video for the electric screwdriver - by the end the music is almost the Bond theme

Best not to watch the videos, although some of the older ones are a real hoot

Speaking of electric screw drivers. I had an extension put on at home. Watched the tradies closely. The ceiling fixer had a natty battery screw driver with belt feed screws. In this case self tappers that cut through the plaster board and into the wood. It was a joy to watch almost like a stapler, bang bang bang all one handed. Just in case anyone has a lot of screws to fix olewill

the grinder and belt job should be pretty good

Yes, plenty of safety gear needed though
Those boxes of asst multi tool bits are useful. Not as good quality as Dremel but a fraction of the price. Years ago I bought the whole stock (maybe 15 ish) of similar from Netto at £2.99 ea. Now about 10 years later I am running a bit short !

I was disappointed with the combined grinder/sander I bought last time they were on offer - the sander was OK for very light duty but didn't have anything like the power needed for most wood sanding tasks. The grinder was fine for drill/tool sharpening so I just use it for that.

Yes, it maybe better to have another budget type that has two grades of grit wheels.

The toolbox looks exactly like the one I bought from B&Q over 20 years ago. It has served me well but now has a split in one of the component compartment lids on the top (due to mis-treatment). I might replace it at that price although I find a squishable bag better on a small boat.

Ditto same here
Except mine is still intact ( & that's despite me using mine as a step to stand on on occasion).The alarm looks like a good 'un.Might buy one to add to the battery combination one that I have already got installed on the boat.
Thanks for the tip off Vic.

Yes, definitely agree with a tool bag. Have a nice one from Axminster that has the commonly used stuff and lurks in the saloon under the table - hardly ever seems to get in the way or wanders around in rough weather.

Check strength to stand on top of tool box as a hop up. A useful feature if possible.

I think mine is marked to say 'do not stand on'. I have and that why its damaged. It makes a good seat though!

Maybe the T-shirts are worth a look. Nothing else appeals.

Of course what we really want is for them to start selling Antifouling .

Well, you can get that in Toolstation: http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p65198
And, you can help yourself to a cup of coffee whilst you peruse their 'laminated book of dreams'... Can't do that in Lidl.

Is it any good? Still looking for a decent replacement for Jotun. Used Hempel Tiger Xtra this year on the Tamar and it was, well, how can I put this, s**t!!!!:disgust:
