Hi Simon,

Managed to break my hand-held inspection lamp at the weekend there.
Looking to know what you might have as a suitable replacement.

It would be helpful to have a magnetic attachment
Wireless / rechargeable is a must.
Durable/shock proof would hopefully make it last longer in my hands.
My old one had two stage lighting, so it could be used as a general torch - this isnt essential but was a nice touch.

Be kind on price, the old one was £20 but i've a budget of around £40 for this

Looks good thanks, should have done a little more searching through the forum there lol.
Will be up on Thursday for the above

Do you have much in the way of free standing floodlights. I see Sealey have some out in a similar style to the one above

Draper one would be about £25+vat plus minus depending on spec. Wouldn't cost much more to go on up to a quality one, metabo one prob £45+ vat ish with a 3 year warranty or a hitachi about £36.

If your coming up see @Daz as i'm out round some of our trade customers today showing off some new products :laughing:

@lightning I'm going to need a thread of my own here i think lol.

I managed to shear a bolt off on a component earlier. Im going to try and extract the stud using the old hammer and chisel method but if that fails i'll need an extraction tool.
The bolt was a 10mm head so thats M6 i think?
What have you in the way of extraction tools? As its sheared flush with the part I'm going to need to drill in anyway

No worries there's a good range of screw or stud extractors in stock,

Something like one of these would do the job. Don't worry about the price it's just a list price. (y)

Cheers.
I'll have a got at it tonight with the chisel but if that fails, i'll be out thursday or friday for a set.
In a similar vein, do you have any left handed drill bits? Seem to be popular for stud extraction purposes too
