Broke my 3/4 drive, Snap On , breaker bar head. Was only using the correct 40 inch handle, honest
Was trying to slacken the bolts holding the rear counter weight onto a Volvo digger. The bolts heads are 65mm across

Back in the late 70s a workmate had just bought a 1/2” drive breaker bar that I borrowed to undo a ball joint nut on a VW type3 that broke , he hadn’t even used it. The best part was the Snap On van was still in the car park!Broke my 3/4 drive, Snap On , breaker bar head. Was only using the correct 40 inch handle, honest

I am officially a bell end
Gas soldering iron meets kitchen worktop
Needless to say, 'management' is not happy
It's a Cooke and Lewis worktop, about 6yrs old, what's the chances of finding another to match, really don't fancy replacing all of the worktops to keep the peace!

Carry on burning it into the shape of a heart and tell her it's a token of your undying affection for her?

It's blistered the worktop, haven't dug it out yet but unlikely

Personally I find it much quicker to clamp the knife in a vice and batter the edge with a suitable hammer until it's properly blunt.
He'd probably find it quicker to clamp the knife in the vice and impale himself on it!
I foresee this not being lived down.

Today I broke my cyclone extractor.
I'm doing a bit of decorating and using my cyclone to sift out some of the sanding dust before it goes into the central vacuum system I installed probably 20 years ago.
Vacuum always worked fine but I decided to wash the filter for the first time ever when I emptied it a couple of days ago.
Definitely more suck and very little dust from the Mirka sanding block, but I wasn't expecting a reinaction of the Titan Submersible incident.
Need to look for a better pressure vessel.
