    Fitting Ball Catches

    I've used a felt tip previously. Needs plenty of wet ink and obviously leaves a mark on the wood. Not ideal but it's ok if you're stuck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Last day in the office

    Fantastic. You're obviously ok financially and fair play for taking the plunge and going for it. I left an IT Director role in Sept after it just became too stressful and actually the stuff I was stressing about really wasn't important, nobody was dying - except maybe me. I'm now doing a few...

    1/2" sub £200 best router reccomendations please!

    I'd also suggest the TRA001. Mine is great under the table. It is very heavy though so not great on narrow pieces, but I think you'll find that with most 1/2 routers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    good cheap impact driver

    April I know is sponsored by Triton. Not seen anything if Ana but I did a quick look and aw her with some Ryobi kit so she may well be sponsored. All I was stating was that the spec of the Ryobi was better than Makita who claimed to be the highest torque figure. No idea why you tubers have to...

    good cheap impact driver

    I'm still struggling to see your source that proves this information is wrong? Until you have proof that the information is wrong I don't see how you can say it's liberal. I've not once seen Ryobi plastering the torque spec anywhere except it being listed on their spec sheet so it's hardly...

    The overwhelming issue is that slow things and fast things do not mix. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    good cheap impact driver

    I'm basing it on the published specification. What are you basing your comments on? Can you show the evidence where their spec sheet is "liberal" with their information. Just to clarify I'm not saying the Roybi is better than Makita but I am saying it is more powerful (Torque). There are lots...

    good cheap impact driver

    Yes they did, there is a thread on here about it somewhere. They basically said that they assumed Makita had only compared to other professional impact drivers.

    good cheap impact driver

    Are you saying the Ryobi figures are wrong? What is your source for this information? It seems wrong to say that figures are wrong without any proof. Don't forget that Ryobi also make impact wrenches which have much higher torque figures that most impact drivers so it's not like they don't...

    Mortgage rates

    Which Mortgage is a very good service for independent mortgage advice. They do charge a fee if you do take out a mortgage but they can offer very good advice, they are whole of market and truest independent. A lot of comparison sites are not whole of market. I went with which having done a lot...

    good cheap impact driver

    Ryobi! To my knowledge the most powerful (Torques) impact driver you can buy. I wrote to good wood working about it after they claimed the new Makita was and it wasn't as powerful. Great bit of kit and £60 ish without batteries. Probably £100 with a battery and charger. I'm sure you won't...

    How to Cut Down Trees without a Chainsaw?

    I'd say a bow saw is your best option. I'd agree with you about not using a chainsaw without training. A chainsaw is a ridiculously dangerous bit of kit and in my opinion should only be used by professionals with all the kit and training. I'm amazed that they are allowed to be sold without a...

    Pelotons

    Cyclist shouldn't be riding 4 a breast and hogging the road, drivers shouldn't be cutting them up and not giving them space. I see plenty of decent cycling on a daily basis and plenty of decent driving however like all things it's the odd cyclist that gives them a bad name and the same with...

    Safety in the workshop

    I wear goggles when I feel I need to but that's all because I wear glasses normally. I think it might be time to invest in some prescription safety specs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Step Counter for mobile usage

    I used "Moves" on my iPhone as it links to my health care scheme and I get rewards for doing a certain number of steps. I too found it used a lot of battery but that was because it was using GPS constantly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Log cabin shingle roof help

    I would think you'd want a membrane? Or maybe just a felt "liner". I built similar last year although I used felt shingles but I did use a felt liner underneath. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Best 'value' laptop....

    Ive bought around 2000 laptops (I was previously an IT Director) and would always buy Lenovo. The T and X series are very good but you pay for the lightweight components. I config'd a HP Pavilion note book thing that a mate of mine bought for £250 and thought it was very good and you could use...

    Switch socket with USB port...

    Could still be the same as mine comes with remotes as well. Can be interesting when the cat treads on one on a bedside in the night!
