Having read the usual for and against , as a cyclist, motorist and ex motorcyclist, the biggest factor in all this is time, no one leaves enough time to get from A to B Round us we have several schools, the parents dropping off children often drive like complete idiots, race through gaps, park...

We have had several different wireless bells, some battery, some plug in the mains, none lasted very long before problems set in, sometimes the unit, sometimes the bell press, I must have spent a fair amount on them over time As we live upstairs mostly and have very thick walls, knocking cannot...

I think you can rest easy there, I saw nothing to suggest unrest or disquiet, just an exchange of opinion which I think we are all entitled to without hacking limbs off ;-)

The Axminster clone has one advantage over the Hegner (apart from a huge difference in price) the Axminster has two blocks attached to the table to align a blade (if not using a quick clamp) the Hegner only has one I was sad to see that the AWFS18s successor is no longer listed on Axminsters...

It was asked if the Hegner clone by Axminster was any good? Firstly I would say I would never buy a new saw, rather like a car, it loses half its value as soon as you take it out the box or drive one I have an AWFS18 Axminster clone of the Hegner, its a marvellous machine and does all I...

Well my wayward tenner came home yesterday, presumably they stagger payments in batches So if you haven't had it check again

Well folks, I *should* have got it but didn't (as yet) but my wife did as usual I guess its considered next to worthless for those with sufficient pension but for those on very little, perhaps £10 is worth a fair deal and worthwhile having, I suspect the cost of means testing the Christmas...

You have it in a nutshell, neither top or bottom arm actually move, the blade is bounced up and down by a cam underneath and spring at the top I would remove the table and check the mechanism underneath but suspect the OP is tightening the upper part which is supposed to bounce, apart from...

I regularly use Paypal to pay for ebay goods, with and without a Paypal balance, without it charges the linked card you have with Paypal If you haven't used Paypal for a while it may need you to update your card or details as now when you access Paypal you get a text code to input to ensure...

Wilkinsons used to be the go to place for screws etc, I still have a few odd boxes left bu they changed to pick & mix, while they may appear cheap compared to other suppliers, boxes of screws were pennys before they went down that route

On a slightly different but on a similar subject of wrong bin, we like many others do not have the luxury of a place to store recycle bins or black bags we have to keep them inside as we are direct onto the footpath in a village Black bags are contained in a seagull proof sack which we have to...

Sorry I hadn't seen several of these replies, I wasn't getting notifications for some reason (I know you have to go to the site from each notification to receive more, I must have missed one) Had I thought about it initially I should have realised the German connection, given it was being...

Surely there have been miners in this country for many thousands of years ?

I can well imagine that could be its origin, but in over 60 years on this planet I have never heard of one until today

Really? For Lump hammer I get Klumpenhammer For Drilling Hammer I get Bohrhammer Bohrhammer gets rotary hammer

Well apparently Screwfix sell them, named as Drilling Hammers, so I don't think its a language translation thing, I wondered if it was an American term thats made its way over here

Thanks but yes I know of these as I have some and used them back in the day ;-) Club hammer I have heard of before aka usually a lump hammer in my experience but when did this term drilling hammer enter the scene, I have been around quite some years and never heard of one

In this mornings Aldi advert they are showing something called a Drilling Hammer Not having heard of such an implement I googled it to find a video explaining why I should have one (at the end of it was a prompt to watch a video on the VC winners at Rorkes drift which was very interesting but...

Personally I have to disagree with the buy cheap buy twice statement, many people wouldn't start out at all if it was a case of buy an expensive saw straight off, you can do a lot of good things with a low end saw, it just takes longer and is more fiddly (blade changes etc) but of course a used...

Well folks, I watched McCartney headlining Glastonbury this afternoon, and it was brilliant (headlining at 80 no less!) Alright his voice is not what it was but it was still brilliant all the same, he has way more energy than me 14 years his junior, I just hope I am still drawing breath if I...
