  1. Did she have a passcode or fingerprint recognition on ? It's no use to anyone if it's locked but you still see them for sale so block the IMEI by putting it in lost mode.
  2. I got it right then, amazing what you can find on t'internet 😂
  3. Not many sites allow fires unless they are raised off the ground.
  4. T-Max ? Handy looking tool for remote work and not too bad price. Some of the dearer units look massive in comparison for 12v units and the prices are way higher. [ame] [/ame]
  5. I wouldn't put Bahco in the cheaper category, they are as good as the top brand snap on I've used round at the bike shop and the 1/4" drive in my set goes up to 13mm and is strong and allows good access where the 1/2" or 3/8" is too large and the ratchets are quite fine as well. If you want good cheaper tools I have had a Kamasa socket set for over 40 years and only broken the ratchet through serious abuse
  6. Facom own Britool so you can get them if you don't like the French aspect
  7. I bought a Bahco S87+7 set, they have AF and metric 1/4 drive and 1/2 drive along with some swivel and combination spanners, screwdriver and Allen bits. The sockets are 6 point not bi-hex so they don't round nuts off as readily and the steel is excellent quality.
  8. Not sure on the serial number, SawTroll is your man for that but there were three models of the 50, Rancher and Special made from about 1983 to 1990 so unless someone has new old stock it will probably be used. Just been reading up and the first number is the last digit of the year so it would probably be 1987 week 13.
  9. Did he mean an umbilical cord ?
  10. I can honestly say I haven't A friend of mine asked me to sharpen his chain and I just turned it round and gave it back, he looked .
  11. Get some dark glasses ( shades ) it looks like it's too bright for you
  12. Get the number of the carb if it's a Walbro and just get the same from eBay for a fifth of the price. You might have to wait for delivery but it's better than being bankrupted.
  13. Like our electrician used to say at work, " I can see your problem, you've been using them haven't you "
  14. I'd put a bit of a radius on the port edges as well, I found they sometimes come not very well finished.
  15. I bet there's less chance of damage to the tree with a dropped kerb than the lamp post next to the tree would have caused. It's not something that would have got a second look, the tree roots will be plenty well established all round without worrying what a bit of shallow digging is going to do to it. Storm water management off of a 20 foot square garden is not exactly going to overpower the drains is it ?
  16. Welding supplier mig liner if you don't want it plastic coated.
  17. Cable ties hold a lot of motorbike fairings together as well when the original fittings go missing or split. Cable ties and gaffer tape are essentials these days.
  18. One of the brother in laws lads left a £600 wacker plate on a tarmacking job and it was still there when they raced back. He got fed up of buying them rakes and shovels so he supplied the first and any after that they supplied themselves and they soon stopped leaving them behind and even started putting names on and cleaning them.

    Desk magnifier

    We got one from Machine Mart for my wife to use. We've had it years and put a couple of bulbs in it over that time. It has a cover to slide over the magnifier so it can be used as a light. It's still about the same price £20.39 so not going to bankrupt you.
  20. Stump up less cash can be your motto, the root cause of the problem is the image of the business.
  21. You get to wear the special orange helmet
  22. Lots of acid in bird muck as they don't have a separate urinary system.
  23. Called at the Red Lion truck stop Northampton junction 16 on the M1 yesterday and got two all day breakfasts with a mug of tea for under £10, didn't take any pictures though
  24. There are other brain cells in the gut as well, a network of neurons that contains more brain cells than a cat's head so if your gut is telling you something you should probably listen.
  25. It tells all the other bits what to do doesn't it ?
