    Workshop burgled, now my tools are on eBay

    I recently tried to include my machines (Planer/thicknesser/bandsaw/table saw) in my home insurance - they refused. Said they were not covered by house or contents insurance. So are people buying a separate insurance policy for wood shops?

    When did Rutlands become significantly cheaper than Banggood?

    I've been spying a new protractor (angle rule) on Banggood and then saw the same tool on Rutlands for significantly cheaper? Is this a trend? Banggod £38.57 Rutlands £25 What's happening?

    Sketchup help please

    It might be worth checking that the first leg you drew wasn't a unique component. Because if you copy those, they will act independently.

    3/4" Impact Sockets - Recommendation Request

    I was considering 3/4" Impact Wrench and Impact Sockets for general use. I've now seen that it would be overkill for my needs. I've now ordered a 1/2" Makita 40v Impact Wrench (bare tool) and the £29.99 deep impact socket set from Halfords.

    3/4" Impact Sockets - Recommendation Request

    Thanks to you guys, I'm listening and am now looking at the Makita 40v 1/2" which appears correct for my needs. Upcoming project will have me fitting a lot of M12 bolts so a deep 19mm impact socket is perfect. The 1/2" Deep set at £29.99 is exactly what I need 👍 I'm going to get the impact...

    3/4" Impact Sockets - Recommendation Request

    I agree. On reflection using my 1/4" impact driver isn't man enough for large lag bolts. I'm thinking that the 3/4" will never snap, fail or struggle. Plus I can use an adaptor to step down for smaller sizes. But have the strength of the 3/4" shaft for the larger, rare times I'd need it 🤔

    Now there's a question. 😅

    3/4" Impact Sockets - Recommendation Request

    Interesting. Is there a conventional wisdom that says - use a 1/2" impact wrench for sizes up to ?? & a 3/4" Impact Wrench for Sizes over that above. Just a thought as I haven't bought my Impact Wrench yet?

    3/4" Impact Sockets - Recommendation Request

    Hi Guys I'm in the market to buy some 3/4" impact sockets (with a bit of length, but no essential) and wondered if anyone had any sensible recommendations for a DIY'er I don't want the cheapest and shards of socket in my face after using a dozen times so happy to pay for good quality at...

    Re roofing my workshop

    I'd just over sheet if the structure can handle the additional weight.
