I'm not disagreeing with the general view that anything that locks in any way is generally viewed as illegal in the UK, even if a good reason makes it ok. And that most Opinels lock so most think it illegal even if under the max length. Jonm's link would suggest to me an Opinel with a locking...

Your link is interesting in discussing the difficulty in making the likes of a Stanley requiring good reason to carry and a locking folder under 3" not. Quote; In moving the amendment Mr John Patten, The Minister of State at the Home Office, explained the Government thinking saying: "When...

Quoting the Govt link posted above it would seem a button is required for their lock knife definition. Not a rotating collar for instance. I bought a kids scout knife in a German supermarket a couple of years ago with a round end and maybe a 60mm blade, fixed blade made for small hands. I also...

I don't see where a router comes in to it, but thank you all for the replies :)

Hi folks I discovered a friend has a lathe after talking about Indian clubs for exercise. I used a lathe for one thing many moons ago but know basically nothing, friend is a beginner too. So, would trying to turn a pair of somethings 5-600mm long with the narrowest part being maybe 15mm, be a...

I have to wear braces when it's on my belt, but my favourite new tool this year. Free delivery too...

I've found Darn Tough to be overall better than Thorlo, Bridgedale etc etc. Their Mountaineering Over The Calf Socks are about £28 but are the only ones I've found to stay above my calves, not wear out in a few months and are warm.

A good little first aid phrase is "bind it where you find it" For a massively wide supply of all things first aid, and above, try S P Services, so much stuff it can be confusing! There are also courses out there if you are a little further from an ambulance than you might prefer, such as "Far...

Idea of the kit I mentioned above, all nicely laid out. St John's ambulance have an app too so you can have their guidance saved on your device.

An Israeli bandage is a good thing to apply pressure with lots of blood. I had a kit from years ago that opened out so nothing got lost or fell out, and it was categorised depending on need. Very helpful. The nearest I can find today is from survivalfirstaid if you search that. Not cheap but can...

If you have icing on your cake you are very lucky :) I have a pair of tins of sardines despite no-one in this house likes them which I could post? In tomato sauce but I could rinse them a bit if that helps?

We lost our boxer Monty Moo two weeks ago, nearly 8, 45kgs. He was my best mate. Over 5 weeks he had 8 sort of seizures where he locked up and stopped breathing, last one he just didn't come back. 99.9% of him was fine, still bouncy, still lovely.

I used to know a forester with contracts for eco sensitive clients who would insist on the likes of olive oil on chainsaw blades.

Me too, lovely little thing, but a few grains of sand requiring an expensive fix to the zoom and lens cover mechanisms shortly after purchase is what made me buy the Olympus tough camera i mentioned before. That then allows me to have a camera with me that doesn't mind where I am or what I'm...

Army surplus "softie" trousers are about a tenner, jacket about £30 and super toastie warm from fleabay. I used to go up a shoe size for boots on site to wear three pairs of thick socks in the winter. Then I bought some merino base layer trousers and suddenly my feet were warmer, now only one...

My wife has a Pixel 3a which she chose purely because of the reviews of the camera and it not being silly money compared to many smart phones. It takes really good pics. I also have an Olympus Tough camera which with the suitable wrist lanyard floats. The zoom could be a bit limiting but it...

Smart meters allow flow both ways, so "they" can discharge your EV battery if you sign up for that I think?
