I looked at that one but the noise level of 93dB put me off, so I went for the 50L version of their 'silent' range (HY27550), it's 2hp rather than 3 but it's only 65dB which I find more than acceptable. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08SWB946T

For anyone using the 12v Milwaukee platform, under £40 delivered is a great deal for a 6Ah battery https://www.powertoolmate.co.uk/power-tools/batteries-and-chargers/milwaukee-m12b6-12v-6-0ah-li-ion-battery.htm

I've recently bought the 50L duel-motor version of the Hyundai Silent Compressor and I'm very happy with it I agree that the only real downside is the length/quality of the mains cable so the first thing I did was replace it with 4m of 1.5mm H05RR-F which is a flexible rubber-sheathed cable -...

How do I put this....

I don't know how much you have in the SIPP but my wife has an additional Hargreaves Lansdown SIPP and they charge 0.45%

Are you sure it's not the anti-theft cable tie - lots of Makita boxes have them to avoid the contents 'going missing' You just cut it off...

I think that the OP's i3 will have been fitted with runflat tyres from new - AFAIAA tubes aren't suitable for a runflat due to the construction (very stiff sidewalls and/or additional internal structures) While it is possible to get runflat punctures repaired as long as they are in the central...

As someone with an interest in car detailing, I was quite taken by this... ;)

Don't get me wrong, I love the freedom & flexibility that comes with cordless tools but, for anything that routinely needs to be attached to dust extraction, I'm quite happy with corded as I don't find the power cord any more of a hinderance than the extraction hose - my tracksaw being a prime...

According to the data sheets Celotex can take a floor loading of of up to 4 kN/m2 uniformly distributed or 1.5 kN concentrated (both when supported & covered with a suitable protective layer. If I understand the conversion factors correctly, this equates to 400Kg/m2 & 150Kg concentrated -...

Childhood memories... :LOL:

Do your nuts have to be hexagonal? Square profile bar is probably easier to find....

If you have a hot water tank keep an eye on it over the next few months. Over time, ours must have developed a several leaks at the seams. We'd never had any water drips etc. because any leakage was so slow that the water evaporated and the holes became plugged with limescale. A few months...

We have had a Harveys water softener for about 7 years and have always drunk the softened water - it tastes a lot better/cleaner than the unsoftened water and makes a much nicer cup of tea/coffee. We're in a hard water area at around 280 CaCO3mg/L

We bought a Liebherr CN5113 fridge freezer in August 2012, so it's now 9 years old and has been perfectly reliable, I'd happily buy another.

I'm still using a doorbell chime that has a glass tube mercury switch - I think it was manufactured in the early 1960s so getting on for 60 years old. It's one of the ding-dong type chimes with two metal glockenspiel bars and a sprung striker rod. In the striker rod's rest position the mercury...

As a newbie to spraying, it all gets a bit confusing but, as always seems to happen when I start researching things, I think I'm going to spend more than I intended and try to get the important bits from a specialist supplier and go for... Redashe Tundra 15m Flexible hose ANI R160-Q midi...

Yeah - that's a bit rich for this stage of the game :p Perhaps if I get to the point where I'm spraying regularly, I can look at something like that but all I need for now is something that will give a decent finish but doesn't cost the earth - I know that there's going to be a compromise...

This is the hose I was looking at - it's XF fittings - but the one @Sideways suggested looks more flexible although I'd have to add my own connectors https://www.powertoolsalesuk.com/product/air-tool-hose-with-xf-euro-coupling-adaptor-various-lengths/ Is the moisture trap still necessary when...

Thanks for that - bare pipe might work for me if the air fittings are easy to attach (not something I've ever had to do before) I've only got to spray a few small-ish bits and pieces that SWMBO likes but, due to colour scheme changes, now need to be satin white - and, to put it politely, they...
