Had to do a load of 50mm cores with the battery drill as it wasn’t practical running a lead, managed it but petrol power would have been nice

Does it have an auto-slipping clutch? You need a clutch on a core drill. Markrist used to do a 4-speed hand held core drill with no clutch about 20 years ago and it was very powerful but also renowned for inuring people especially in the slowest gear. They were like a gut buster on steroids.

That’s true, one snatch and it will break your wrist or smash your teeth out

No they don't, only a centrifugal..i only use slipping clutch drills on 100mm cores myself so very doable with 50mm even using a small 18v hand drill

You're safe enough with 18V but my hand held core drill is 1600W.

A Moore and Wright combination set, slightly tarnished on the edge of some faces and annoyingly the rule has some pitting in one place, but for $80 I wasn’t going to say no. Feels lovely.

Should have ordered them online and saved the journey

But then there wouldn't have been the opportunity to gawp at shiny shinies and other things...

Usual grumps are out, I see.
Been a thing since the 70s.

My mates dad made it his mission to take ‘miss dairy uk’ (or something like that) home after a farm trade event here in the seventies, and was successful! She kept her ties to England and now they export high grade wool to the mills that still buy it in the UK. Funny story I’ve always thought.

That's exactly it.
At a very basic level, many of these women are looking for successful men.
Of course, such an observation doesn't sit well with feminists today, but it's not like I care about their opinions.

that reminds me of something the Oz comedian Jim Jeffreys says :

women go see a male stripper - he's dressed up as a policeman, or a fireman. that's because deep down, what they find most attractive is a man with a job.
Men *also* find women with a job more attractive.
As long as that job is "stripper"

People automatically see a pretty lady and think 'bimbo'. I think that Melissa is making a very good account of herself in the twitter replies.

…………………… some joiners gloves, I've got some timber framing to do in the downstairs bar, these will keep my hands warm and keep the splinters at bay but still let me hold a pencil and pick my nose.

I need a pair like these as I'm still rebuilding our old stone cottage, and about to frame and insulate it within the stone walls. Manually nailing the 1" thick plywood floor down has caused an issue with my arthritic hands. What brand are the gloves in your photo ?

If you want to search look for “frame fixing gloves”

They are Youngstown, they has an offer on them at Rutlands, not much off and by the time you paid postage you can get them elsewhere for not much more but they get good reviews and I was buying something else from them so made sense.

yep the same principle as when they burn old road markings off the tarmac...propane and compressed air. ive been playing with this idea for many years now as i was trying to build and complete a roofing torch that could dry a flat roof in a fraction of the time and use much less gas, ive pretty much almost finished it but looking at your vid has gave me a better idea for the torch head that i have now

I came across this one, too.

I suspect it can be scaled down a bit also.

 

[brightspark]

that's a total waste of time. it is no different to a standard propane torch and it wont be any hotter
