    Buying advice - multitool, random orbital sander and router

    That’s what I thought too, but 5 amp fully charged won’t loosen studs but the 12 will. I don’t understand it either.

    Buying advice - multitool, random orbital sander and router

    Hello, first question I would ask you is what amp are your batteries. I have sold my soul to Milwaukee and have the above three all cordless. My battery start at four amp to 12 for Tablesaw, but the 12 amp ends up on the rattle gun mostly. It will loosen what the 5 amp won’t. Amp power makes a...

    Logosol Timber Jig

    Hello and salutations I am about to try and to give my view on the Logosol Timber Jig. I chose this over the Alaskan mill type as the Gransberg agent is UK based, with Brexit, importing into euro zone is prohibitive expansive. The Amazon version looks a bit tinny. The Logosol seemed more simple...

    Help and Advice

    Hello, with a 80 year old mother, maybe sell as Job lot, all or nothing. Otherwise the best will be picked, leaving you with a skip hire cost to clear the rest and every toe rag sizing up what else to rob on return. Sorry for my bleak outlook on mankind. What the tools cost and their worth is...

    Wood burning - Lime

    We had a very large Lime branch come down last year, burns well now, but very hard to split, used a hydraulic log splitter, it tears more than splits. Good luck with a maul.

    Router Table lifts

    Hello, I have ordered a Triton TRA 001, lift, levelling plate,fence and associated track from Sauter in Germany. At just over €600 (+vat) delivery to Ireland it seems good to me. I would have loved a Incra but one can go to the well only so many times… This is good enough for me. I will...

    My first workbench

    Looks very strong, nothing wrong with Construction grade timber for a bench in my eyes. “Your Mother would be proud of you” as we say in my small part of the world.
