Tools worthy of a mention.

I just manage to undo a disc cutter or grinder by grabbing the disc and turning anti clock while holding the lock button!

Same here .

Only works on a reasonable size disc though. When its worn down to just outside the steel centres, there's feck all to grab hold of !!

Thought I would spend more than a shilling on a new T27 torx driver, got this little gem.

Does that Torx driver come with a matching set of long handle forceps to pick up the lost screw that inevitably follows ?

I’m not a professional arbourist like most people on here, farming for my sins in a previous life. But I have to say Lidl’s parkside battery chainsaw is a great tool, especially for stop start work beside a chipper or hedge laying.

My petrol saw hasn’t been started since I bought it last September. Only gripe is you need the larger 4 ah batteries. Also because it’s quiet I don’t really feel that I am using a chainsaw at all. I leave it in the back of the jeep all the time, always ready to cut a fallen branch off a fence etc. and no petrol to go stale, spill or stink😎.

 I’ve also bought their cordless angle grinder and drill that use the same batteries.

Magnetise the end of the T27 bit .... ?

Not being funny but....that is one massive T bar for the small T27 bit. I have always used the Stihl T27 T bars - pretty strong and last well plus they reach down the cylinder head to the retaining screws at the bottom.

I got some Wera spanners lately. Right good! Nice rachet action and a novel open ended set up. I'm told the Wera tory or Allen keys are ace and just feel "right".
