Hi, My email account has been hacked over the last few days and I’m getting mails to send money to crypto accounts and bitcoin accounts, also emails from Amazon saying purchases are on the way, which are fake, and it’s really annoying. Is there anything i can do to sort this out? Im with...

Hi, Just bought a second hand compressor, its a 6 bar pressure, and bought a new Makita AF506 nailer to go with it, however I’m just slightly, and I mean just slightly, unimpressed by them. Just practiced on some 38mm CLS with some 32mm brads and they literally just go under the surface, that...

Hi, can anyone recommend a decent bucket or drum collecotor for my cyclone please? Ive had the Oneida Dust Deputy for years now however I have upgraded my vacuum to a Numatic NV750 and while using it yesterday it collapsed the lid. I’m after something of similar size of bucket/ drum that came...

I wonder if anyone could advise on this please. I purchased this model second hand a few days ago but just had a look at it today and it seems to be running off slightly. First thing I found is that the incorrect blade is fitted as with this newer F series the kerf should be the same thickness...

Hi, I bought the Rutland premium mitre gauge when it was on offer and just got around to trying it and had mixed results. Works great with my Dewalt 745 however it’s useless with my Trend router table as it basically won’t slide as the plastic/rubber washers which are used to tighten then...

Last year I reroofed my garage in some 1000/32 plasticoat roofing sheets which came in some other protected sheets with a few slight imperfections and far too good to throw out, the quality is still good and there are a few different colours in the coatings. The lengths vary between 2 metres...

Hi, I’m thinking of going for this router as I have the Katsu however the speed dial is starting to turn when running therefore you can’t run it at a constant steady speed, aswell as the cordless feature being appealing with the Makita. Main question I’d like to ask is, would the Katsu plunge...

Morning, With the colder months on the way I’m looking to add a bit of heat into my garage workshop and wondered if it was safe to use an electric infared patio heater? I was thinking of either mounting one to the wall or making some sort of portable stand. Would it be safe to use in this...

Morning, Could I ask please whether I could make a garden side gate with 18mm floorboards with 3 or 4 inch bracing to the back? Main reason for asking is the possible movement and twisting issues however I would intend giving it several coats of whatever needed to protect it. Any advice or...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone has this model and any opinions of it Ive been after a decent vacuum for years and have a lot of decorating to do shortly therefore I want to keep the dust down as much as possible, however it is expensive but if I don’t buy it now I probably never will. Only...

Hi, I have a sectioned built garage that has corrogated cement fibreboard sheets for the roof which I thought was leaking, however I'm not so sure it actually is? I insulated and boarded the full garage out quite a few years ago, however a few years back I noticed the floor was wet after long...

Hi, Can anyone recommend a reasonable garden parasol for this upcoming summer (hopefully) Willing to pay around 250 for something decent, however happy to pay less as long as it’s good quality.

Hi, I bought a second hand bench last year, nothing flash, however it has a hardwood top which has a slight bow in the middle. It’s only around 1-2 millimetres deep but I would like to get rid of it if I can. I’m only a DIYer so it doesn’t have to be that precise so I was wondering if it...

Hi, Sold my old thickneser last year as I thought I wouldn’t need it anymore and as usual I was wrong hence I’m looking at another. Not looking at high end as it will just be for occasional use therefore Ive narrowed it down to two. It’s either the Triton 125 or the Metabo DH330. Both have...

Evening, For the older members around here who watched Fawlty Towers back in the day I think I’ve purchased as did Manuel, a ”Peruvian hamster” in the shape of a Bosch GKF600. it is second hand from one of those sites we all know about. It seems to run O.K. however when I took off the collet...
