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

[Gragson]

A pretty decent 200mm holesaw off Amazon



Bit job specific but may come in handy in the future :-)

Mrs bought an under sink thing for the tiny downstairs bog, after measuring carefully she knew it would not fit but ordered it anyway, you can make it fit

Double Henry dust extraction.




After chopping out skirting at rear, 2mm to spare



Least I got another tool out of the deal

 

[4String.]

Picked this up while shopping in Lidl this morning:




Already have a Milwaukee 1/2" breaker and I'm not into duplicating tools for the sake of it but this will be handy to keep in the van. Not least because I'm past the age where I want to lean on a long tube on the weirdly numerous occasions I happen upon motorists who've had a puncture but don't have a wheel brace... It's nowhere near the quality of the Milwaukee but it feels solid enough, and it will mean one less thing to remember to put in the van when I'm on a big trip, and at £60 complete with battery, charger, a selection of sockets, and a 3 year warranty, it's worth a punt.

I picked up a load of lithium storage batteries yesterday that had been subbed out to us.

When I got the paperwork I blagged a shiny new pair of Portwest work gloves from the splendidly attractive young lady in the transport office who asked me how big my hands are. OH dear, thought I, you obviously haven't heard the old saying .
