A bunch of tools!

**wossname** · Feb 1st, 2004, 12:02 PM

Joy!

I just bought a cordless 18v 3000rpm Jig-saw, some HCS blades and (not 1, not 2, not 3 but) four rolls of insulation tape.
And a set of auto-adjust wrenches!

MMMmmmm, tools!

(I can imagine all the guys nodding in appreciation)

Auto adjust wrenches?

Que es eso?

**Merrion** · Feb 3rd, 2004, 10:17 AM

Auto adjust wrenches

For tuning cars?

**wossname** · Feb 3rd, 2004, 10:48 AM

Self adjusting to the size of your nuts! The act of pulling the tool makes it fit tighter!

El Cheapo wratchet set from Homebase. Utterly ruins all nuts and bolts between 1/4 and 1 1/2 inches.

**mendhak** · Sep 14th, 2004, 02:12 AM

You need sandpaper!

**BodwadUK** · Sep 14th, 2004, 03:17 AM

Remove the fuse that prevent electrocution. And when tightening your nuts dont do it too tight or you will break them and then what would the missus say.

'Your so useless I dont know why I keep you around'

**JPicasso** · Sep 14th, 2004, 07:49 AM

I just got THIS

It has solved all my troubles.

[EDIT] Stupid link only goes so far... well anyways, it's just a forum so you'll never really know what one I got... so just believe.[/EDIT]

**BodwadUK** · Sep 14th, 2004, 08:08 AM

I bet it took lots of kitchen roll to clean up the mess from your wifes excitement when you walked in with that

**JPicasso** · Sep 14th, 2004, 01:36 PM

I just clicked the link again to remind myself of my new tool.

You have to go to belt/ryobi, but whatever.

DAng! I shouldda got the makita!

**demotivater** · Sep 14th, 2004, 02:03 PM

I wouldn't put that thing anywhere near my nuts...

**BodwadUK** · Sep 15th, 2004, 02:10 AM

I am too big to worry about that

**JPicasso** · Sep 15th, 2004, 12:49 PM

I used to have a 12V POS but the charger broke.

I got a 14.4 V and you can really tell the difference.

gonna build a deck?

**BodwadUK** · Sep 16th, 2004, 02:16 AM

Wow what wood you going to use. Dont get two excited by the wood it will fool you and you may find you get attracted by the wrong one.

**JPicasso** · Sep 16th, 2004, 08:26 AM

Bod, who you talking to?

I was askin demot, but I"m planning on puttin a deck up sometime before winter hits.
Probably just run-of-the-mill PT pine.

**BodwadUK** · Sep 16th, 2004, 08:32 AM

You and your deck

**mendhak** · Sep 16th, 2004, 10:12 AM

Yeah, what a deck-head.

Gah, wasn't listening.

Had to pay for the deck, I'm not real handy. Got the drill for small projects around the crib. It's a bit of an overkill, but I've had about 3 drills that were cheapies and lasted no more than a year a piece. Last one my mother in law bought me - it was a Singer, yes the sewing machine company.

**JPicasso** · Sep 16th, 2004, 10:56 AM

I had one of those 12 V "firestorms" that had interchangeable drill, jigsaw and sander attachments.

The jigsaw drained the battery lots and you endedup with 3/4 of your cutting when it would run out of juice. The sander was okay but I could never find sandpaper with the correct hole pattern.

Anyways, yeah, 18v is probably overkill for... what exactly do you use it for?

**demotivater** · Sep 16th, 2004, 11:00 AM

So far, exercise bike, swingset, and walking around in the dark watching the sparks in the motor going zzzzz, zzzzz.

**yrwyddfa** · Sep 16th, 2004, 11:13 AM

Dewalt are the best tools man will ever invent.

I put down 57m2 of deckingi in me garden and the drill (used as a screw driver) was absolutely superb.

Bit expensive, though.

Dude, don't say things like that until you've driven a JCB! They PWN!

**yrwyddfa** · Sep 16th, 2004, 11:17 AM

I flattened by garden out with a mini JCB and it was fun . . . .

Right up until the part when I found a big pile of ****e under the topsoil which was

'just gonna move'

'No - I'm not giving up'

'Who the hell put this here'

'Right here goes'

And then promptly tipped the damn thing over whichlanded on me leg.

. . . and it really hurt; and I cried like a baby and had to hide from the wife we she came out to see if I was OK.

Fork, and shovel next time.

**wossname** · Sep 16th, 2004, 11:19 AM

(Up-hill traffic light escapes in 3rd gear

* JCB ^^
* A horse (Just plain weird)
* Ride-on lawnmower
* Stihl Concrete-saw (ugh ugh, me poweful, ugh ugh)

Then it's not a deck. It's a raft.

**yrwyddfa** · Sep 17th, 2004, 02:14 AM

Twi (non-overlapping levels):

(1) For superior adults to persuse the activities going on in the garden
(2) A lower level for guests, dogs, cats, and kids.

It's class war in my house

**BodwadUK** · Sep 17th, 2004, 02:15 AM

Are we going to sink it in the ocean just to add the usual asylum seekers challenge

J/K

**pax** · Sep 17th, 2004, 03:10 AM

Sink it a 100 miles offshore. Those who return have proved themselves worthy...

**wossname** · Sep 17th, 2004, 03:25 AM

...Will be shot on the beach as invading troops!

**BodwadUK** · Sep 17th, 2004, 03:38 AM

**venerable bede** · Sep 17th, 2004, 06:37 AM
