    Buying a 15g nailer?

    For the interior USB in the shed, I'd recommend screws rather than nailing as it'll make your life much easier when you want to remove it for some reason - and it's virtually guaranteed that you will want to get behind it at some point e.g. running cables or clearing out a mouse nest. For...

    Chalk deposit in toilet pan

    If you have a water softener, it's very unlikely to be limescale but remember that mains water contains dissolved minerals other than calcium and these will also leave deposits - with hard water you don't normally notice them as limescale is the major deposit. Your local water company should be...

    Which Glue Gun To Buy

    The one I have is no longer available but one feature that I find very useful is that it has variable temperature - sometimes it's very convenient to be able to make the glue a bit thicker or thinner by nudging the temperature up/down a bit

    Getting the last Marmite out of the jar

    There was marmite in the house when I was a kid, my Mother and sister ate it (can't remember if my Dad liked it or not). I couldn't stand the smell and had to leave the room if they were going to be eating it. I honestly don't know if I'd like the taste of marmite because I've never been able...

    Fitting latch in door mid rail?

    If they're that worried about the depth of the latch, you could offer to fit surface mounted knobs (no through hole) and magnetic latches. I've fitted a few of these and they require a recess < 10mm deep. They give a strong hold with nice clean edge to the door and frame...

    There was a similar thread a couple of years ago https://www.ukworkshop.co.uk/threads/jet-washers.127269/ As I'm a lazy git I'll repeat what I said in that thread... ...

    Hand planing hardwood - bad idea?

    I agree, the older I get the less time I want to spend doing things 'The Hard Way'™ - for something like this, it'd be electric plane then belt sander then fine sander... I know that, for some people, doing everything with hand tools gives them a great deal of satisfaction - but I no longer...

    Digital Multimeter Recommendation Required

    I bought the one below a few years ago and I've been very happy with it. I use it for similar things to you along with car electrics and a bit of circuit board fault-finding. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B071JL6LLL I got a hard case to protect it as it's in a drawer with lots of...

    How to calculate roof height/slope.

    @artie is close enough, a 10 degree slope works out as a fall of 12.7" over 72" Most references give a 1:80 fall for a (non tiled) flat roof - BS6229/8217 say that you should design with a 1:40 fall (just over 1.4 degrees) to allow for construction inaccuracies. Even if you were to go for...

    Compressor question - connectors

    Another vote for the Hyundai compressors, if you're going to be in the same room with it you'll really appreciate them being quieter than others around the same price.
