    Upvc would be a good option 🤣👍

    Concrete wall in garage

    An SDS drill will more than likely crack the panels as has been said before. Try those bosch multi construction bits first before anything else and see how you get on. Can you secure anything to the wooden wallplate at the top of that wall? Maybe even just a sheet of ply hanging down secured to...

    Connected fire and smoke alarms. Scotland

    Wireless interlinked alarms are handy in this situation, just steal power from the nearest light for each one and it saves any major rewiring

    Trimming door bottom

    If you get chance, try one out. A tracksaw and cordless circular saw are completely different beasts. I used to use a circular saw with jigs, which was good, then swapped to a cheap tracksaw which was better, faster to use and set up, more accurate. Then I swapped to a festool tracksaw and it's...

    Trimming door bottom

    Hand held planers do take a bit of getting used to. Especially on the ends of doors you have to work in to the center from either edge. If they're solid wood doors I'd suggest getting a rip blade with less teeth for the tracksaw and taking your time.

    Trimming door bottom

    Out of interest, why don't you think the planer is any good? If you've only got a few doors to do, and they need more than about 10mm off a handsaw is a load cheaper than a tracksaw, then you could just finish with the planer.

    Best Nail Gun for framing , cladding and roof timbers

    Only way to avoid the chance of that is by buying new or from someone you know. Buy the dewalt 18v one with batteries then sell it on when you no longer need it. You won't lose much money if you keep it in decent nick

    Drilling bathroom tiles.

    Bosch multi construction bits are good for this.

    Profile cutter id

    How many windows have you got to make? If its not too many it would be quicker just to bandsaw and sand the horns

    Cordless tool options (manufacturer)

    I use the bosch pro range, they're very good, and any issues (two, out of about 15 heavily used Bosch tools) I've had have been sorted easily under warranty, just by filling the form out online and sending a copy of a receipt they arrange collecting it, getting it fixed and sending it back to...

    PIV loft mounted units

    Soveriegn chemicals sell one of these, my boss has had them fitted at about ten or so different properties of his and they have worked in every single one. https://www.sovchem.co.uk/shop/condensation-mould-control/piv-units-ancillaries/auto-concure-20-20/

    Has anyone tried Dewalt 20v batteries on Erbauer EXT tools?

    I'm the opposite, I'm always wanting a cordless jigsaw especially when cutting out an awkward sink cut on a worktop and the cord gets caught on something halfway through the cut, so you have to stop and unhook it. Pain in the arse. On another note, I have a bosch 18v 7ah pro core battery that...

    Dust extraction and track-saws

    I had one of the cheaper track saws before I bought my festool, I burnt the motor out on it after about a years work. The festool is way better at dust extraction, plus it gives a squarer cut and seems easier to use, I use a festool extractor with it and dust isn't an issue, I have used a Henry...
