    The Grand Tour

    Intro was great Super cars dragged on too long The celebrity bit was dire and the worst TV I think I've seen in ages. The fight scene was truest horrific and was the worst TV I've seen since the Grand Tour Episode 1 celebrity scene. M2 bit was ok Racing driver was naff I think they just...

    RYOBI EMS254L

    I used a Makita today and I'd say it was poor. Also the laser runs on battery and not off the mains supply? My dodgy B&Q McAlister CSMS is actually better. Also my blade is better and the Makita gave a terrible finish but I do think this was the blade. The positives are that it stopped quickly...

    Lidl powerfix wood handled chisels are in stock

    I got a second set of Chisels this morning. I quite liked the look of their screw driver bits but no idea what the quality is like and to be honest I already have amble. I did look at the side cutters and pliers etc but decided they didn't look great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Which 18v Kit

    The reviews I've seen have been things like driving in screws and the dewalt kit certainly seems to be faster, more powerful (torque) and run for longer on the same battery spec. That said I do think I need to handle them and see how they feel. I've got loads of Ryobi kit and I do want to try...

    Which 18v Kit

    Ive been looking at 18v in a bit of detail recently and watched a few 18v comparisons. Dewalt often seems to come out on top and ahead of Makita. I only have an old Makita so have no real preference at this stage but I'm leaning towards De Walt based on reviews. As for the Black and Decker...

    Festool syslight Worklight- Have they finally gone mad?

    Do you know, I own a pretty expensive Discovery, I also own a Corsa and I have to say the Land Rover is not worth 5 Corsa's. However I do love it and won't be swapping it. I also recently had the new Rang Rover £110k worth and it's not 11 times the car the Corsa is. It's very nice but you...

    Letter jigs

    It definitely looks like there is movement being introduced. I think what the others have said are all possibilities or a combination of. Sharp bit Slow ie Move the router slowly Not too deep I assume you're clamping the guide / jig to the work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    18v Cordless Drill Advice

    My Ryobi kit is ok. I've got 6 x Li batteries and they are all ok. I've also got about 15 of their tools so I'm not going to swap to a completely new system but I do think the drill driver I have could be better and I have the older jigsaw which I've always found to be poor. I'm not sure if the...

    18v Cordless Drill Advice

    Well Ryobi now have an 18v brushless that might be of interest. If you want a right angle then their right angle drill is about £45. That said I've got loads of Ryobi kit but find myself wanting a better drill. I want to try their new brushless one before I jump brand. I too have the CXS and...

    Speeding

    I confess I have reached over 130mph in a medical emergency, what I couldn't understand was how the car behind me kept up and if he too had a medical emergency to go to. In my younger days I got pulled for doing 36mph in a 30mph limit about 50 yards before it went to a 60mph limit and that was...

    Suitable router for a router table

    Being able to adjust from the top is a real bonus. I have the Triton Tra001 in my table and it's great for that. I know some people use a car jack under it so maybe that's an option with your biggest and most powerful router. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Speeding

    A friend of mine used to work in the Canadian rockies and use to haul huge loads. He used to go up some pass that was a 1:5. After a few years in the job some bean counter decided that they could get wagons with much smaller engines. The first time my mate was driving that route he got pulled...

    Belt and Disc sander - recommendations?

    I think you've pretty much found the same thing with different stickers on it. I actually bought the Clarke one when it was VAT free and paid about £75 at the time. It's fine. It's not a precision tool but does what I need it too. It's a little noisy but that tends to be the case when you buy...

    highest bidder reserve not met

    I also don't get the last minute bidding. I do as others have said stick my maximum bid down and walk away and forget it. The example above only works if everyone bids in £1 increments and nobody puts in their maximum bid and the reality is most things on eBay these days tend to go for what they...

    Speeding

    A mate of mine is a traffic officer with the Met. He says that the attitude test is always the first thing to pass! Have you noticed you're often asked if you know why you've been pulled over? Always best to say because I was speeding and if asked if you know what speed tell the officer. That...
