Laser projector. Anker Nebula 4kUHD
View attachment 397231

A amazing picture, easy to use with auto focus and wall offset all worked out.
Couple of grumbles; runs Android so you cant get ITV or BBC1player to work. and theres a single 1/4 20 screw on the bottom. No leveling feet at all. Had to put a bit of wood under the back so half the picture didnt end up on the ceiling.
So bought a firestick and run it through that. Did I mention the Amazing picture 4k Ultra HD upto 160"

Picture size from 40-160" @ 4k UDH The detail is AMAZING

Update.

I had to return this projector; the only HDMI port failed.
The supplied Andriod Dongle doesnt support iPlayer or ITV.
It didnt seem to be problem at the time, I bought a firestick and used that instead. With the firestick poking straight out the rear of the projector its own weight plus the USB power lead made it sag. So I removed it when not in use (almost every night). This continued 'use' of the port caused Port failure. I thought this might happen. I tied a 90* HDMI connector so it ran up the back of the unit, but the extra leverage made it worse.

I couldnt get Amanoz or Anker to replace the unit. Instead I had to have a refund. As yet [2mths on] Im still to replace it.

Amazing picture. Sound is good. Speakers project more sound to the rear, this is no good for our setup. A set of BT speakers sorted that out, but a PITA to connect to eachtime.

Will I get another? Possible, dependant on whats on the market at the time.

I managed to get to Lidl intent on buying a battery impact driver, but they only have the mains one in my local store. Now I'm mulling over whether it would be useful - it would save me from having to start the compressor, or making sure the battery is charged, and it's £20 cheaper than the rechargeable one. Hmm, decisions, decisions.

I've acquired some more enerpac hydraulic rams. Unfortunately someone with a sniping tool beat me on the two enerpac pullers

Ebay: bid once; bid late.

Sniping services do that for you.

I've never used it but been on the receiving end a few times

Scored a roll of scaffold netting. 2m wide and ?m long. Don't know what I'll use it for yet...

No good for garden netting, it wouldn't let pollinators like bees through...

Apparently it works quite well at keeping some moisture from logs in a store, im on the hunt for some currently in preparation for making new log stores

I can't be bothered with sniping.
I place a single bid to the value I think something is worth, and if I win it, I win it.

Same here, but occasionally I'll wait till the last few seconds, as I have the timing down close enough to usually win the bid; if I'm having second thoughts about the item.

I do the same, put in my max bid with a few seconds to go so if I get outbid there's no time for my heart to rule my head and bid again.

At £9.99, it would have been rude not to. Got it for that router table insert. Figured if I need to drill new holes in a base or suchlike, to make it fit, better to do it with a cheapie rather than one of my other routers. I can leave that one permanently attached too.

 

[Seadog]

I wonder if there's such a thing as a Parm Router?

Router = Something which gouges/cuts.

In @Parm's case, wouldn't that be called: ex-wives?

Where can I get one like this for not much money?

I've got the makita one...it wasn't huge money but it's a beautiful tool to use....really like it.

Excellent for flush trimming stuff...around £100 with lots of bits and bobs.

£9.99 it would be rude to turn that down I think!
