Today I acquired...........

[Slowcoach]

Recently acquired a lifetime’s and a bit bag of spirabands and a Epco porta power. Might be able to get it out of the car in the next week and check if it works, but it was cheap and local.

Thats right, as the saying goes " failing to prepare is preparing to fail", applies to tools as well

I'm sorted & successful for most situations then.

I don't know if I should put this here or in the things that impress me.
I designed this pcb on Wednesday and submitted it to JLCPCB in the afternoon.
They turned up today. 5 boards produced and delivered from China in 5 days. £39 total cost.

Just back from Lidl £29.99 with 3 year warranty

Oh, I might have to go and have a look there, but perhaps not the best time of year. I was going to pop in on Saturday but I had alarm trouble with the car so the hazards were flashing, so I minimised my visits. I've got a few drill-mounted ones and an air one, but I don't use the air one much as it means running the compressor up. The electric one looks like it might be better than the drill one.
