Hi, You can get sds designed for drilling rebar. They have two cutting edges on the tip instead of just one making a cross on the tip. Regards, Dave

These carbide drills are much better. We used to use them at work for cutting into stainless steel pipe which is difficult with hole saws.

Rude, just rude!

Under the sales of goods act gives you 7 years guarantee anyway. After the manufacturers guarantee period it is on the supplier to repair your goods. Used this several times and Trading Standards.

It’s to do with the physics of your arms. More strength if right handed for screwing in.

Hi, Yes, if right handed you would normally paint from left to right, being left handed I paint the opposite way. When cutting in it’s easier to see what you are doing and steadying your hand. If right handed then writing left to right is easier as it flows easier and you are not covering your...

Hi, Looking at YouTube today I came onto this video which might be easiest and safest way to cut 4mm. Probably using an Evolution blade in a saw and al, safety equipment. Regards, Dave

Hi, BZP(Bright Zinc Plated) is common on most bolts and washers but you can get galvanised but probably more expensive. Problem with galvanising is light articles such as thin plate or things like chicken wire will be distorted with hot dipped due to the hot zinc. Hot dipped is great for...

Pressure is not determined by the amount the valve is open , only the volume(flow). Dave

Hi, Also wear safety goggles, I actually recommend a clear rated visor becasue if a grinder grabs it can hit you in the face, especially a 9” grinder. Also ear protection and if you still have it a handle but these don’t last long. Welders don’t use them because they restrict getting in to clean...

Hi, Best way if cutting with a small grinder is to carefully follow the line to put a small groove in the steel before returning to the start point and follow the groove gently cutting right through. If you try cutting through and following the line it will wander. I’ve just retired recently...
