Got these Milwaukee impact sockets recently fits my 1/4 drive gun but 3/8 sockets. Impressed so far. Used them for loads of different jobs

Doing the full monty on my van brakes requires either a 16mm, an 18mm or quite possibly both. Renault, you bâtards.

Hate it when that happens, I've been lucky on my van so far. 🤞

Bought these pruners. Pretty handy will cut through 40mm easily. Makes many cut jobs a lot easier

They look good. What model are they? I've just been cutting fruit tree prunings into 6" lengths for next winter's kindling, Lot of secateur cuts.

i have a nice sds drill but its not up to it and i dont want to kill it.

i have rented a big boy bosch one that flew through it but im wondering if this might work okish for the money as i dislike hiring if i can help it. thanks

I borrowed one of these, or a similar one anyway, to drill some big holes in a hard, old stone wall. Did a good job when my usual battery hammer drill wouldnt even scrape the surface.

 

It did leak a bit of oil / grease from the chuck while in use, but the owner said it always did that! I think titan kit is generally pretty good for the money.

Just a different take on adjustable spanners,I find these dont get 'sloppy' on both the worm gear and don't suffer from the sideways creep on the jaws that most conventially designed tend to.Not cheap,but you'll only buy them once.Also in my pic,the tiny wire cutters that laugh in the face lf agri fencing cuts-and these are cheapish too.

I have some old army wire cutters like theese work ok.
