Got a Wee through socket set the other day.
Prob never be used but sure it's in the tool box lol

I have the halfords vortex (hollow as well) set in the that same size and larger.

You'd be surprised how useful it is, with nuts on long studs where the deep socket isn't deep enough and shock top mounts and being able to put an Allen key through the socket

Elektroschlagschrauber Schlagschrauber 1010W 450Nm inkl. 4 Schlagschraubernüsse TÜV-Rheinland GS geprüft: Amazon.de: Baumarkt

I got one of these a couple of months back and it's a bit of a weapon. Mains powered though so not as handy but no batteries to worry about either (which was the reason for my last one being replaced!)

Would that slacken the crank pulley bolt on a 320d do ya reckon ?

I have the Clarke Cew1000 looks identical to the above for 65 quid, hasn't been beaten yet but it's very bulky

Might have to lower my standards, stick on a tracksuit and take a run down to Lidl tomorrow and see what oddities they have!

 

[Lappintyre]

Bought a corded impact drill, for taking wheels off to clean, winding up caravan legs etc. Haven't had a chance to use it, and rarely will, but seemed like a bargain @ £30.

 

[PhilM]

If it's anything like the Clarke one mentioned that looks similar then it'll be a great job for the money

Plenty of deals on today. Few welders in there too.

No idea how good or bad as the only thing I've ever welded is my wallet shut so Mrs CR can't get at it.

 

[thomas_lad]

neither stores at shore road or abbey centre have the multi grinder

 

[Apis]

Just picked up one of the inverter welders so hopefully give it a run tomorrow.
And more of the Italian Pinot G at £4.29.

Let us know how it performs and what sort of thickness it will weld.
Seems a bit underpowered for an inverter arc welder. Only 80amps.

I have a 180amp stick welder already but it's not great for thin stuff which is why I wanted to try one of these small inverters.
I had a quick go with it tonight and I'm well chuffed. I used the thinnest rods I had (2.5mm) and made a nice weld on a piece of 1mm mild steel. Working with the dial set around half way between 10 and 80 amps. Weld
Now I'm not a welding expert but I found it easier to make a weld in thin metal with this machine than any MIG welder I've ever used. It's very easy to control and weld penetrated through to the back of the metal without blowing a hole.
Money well spent as far as I'm concerned, although I never even shopped around, it was an impulse buy.

 

[Eamo_vxr]

Picked up a auto dim welding mask there, great job for £29.99. More comfy and clearer than the one I had at 3 times the price.

[Golfman16]

[Apis]

They had great laser measure/ stud/ wire finder couple of weeks ago. Works really well.
I'm a sucker for their tools.
