Wow, I forgot about those. Yes they are Rob

nope, hobby...

I recently tried to include my machines (Planer/thicknesser/bandsaw/table saw) in my home insurance - they refused. Said they were not covered by house or contents insurance. So are people buying a separate insurance policy for wood shops?

Makes sense....

I've been spying a new protractor (angle rule) on Banggood and then saw the same tool on Rutlands for significantly cheaper? Is this a trend? Banggod £38.57 Rutlands £25 What's happening?

Except you have been adopted and it lives there now :LOL:

It might be worth checking that the first leg you drew wasn't a unique component. Because if you copy those, they will act independently.

Just one. How much?

It does make life much easier than when I was on the tools many many decades ago 😬

I was considering 3/4" Impact Wrench and Impact Sockets for general use. I've now seen that it would be overkill for my needs. I've now ordered a 1/2" Makita 40v Impact Wrench (bare tool) and the £29.99 deep impact socket set from Halfords.

Now there's a question. 😅

Interesting. Is there a conventional wisdom that says - use a 1/2" impact wrench for sizes up to ?? & a 3/4" Impact Wrench for Sizes over that above. Just a thought as I haven't bought my Impact Wrench yet?

Hi Guys I'm in the market to buy some 3/4" impact sockets (with a bit of length, but no essential) and wondered if anyone had any sensible recommendations for a DIY'er I don't want the cheapest and shards of socket in my face after using a dozen times so happy to pay for good quality at...
