Routermonster, If Ray offers D2 and 01...i would plump for his 01. I have some of Rays D2 blades and they hold an edge for ages but are a PIA to sharpen. I had a load of Holteys.....Karl did a batch and i'll need to look if i have any left and i'll let you know when i...

I found it a strange title for a post that is actually praising a manufacturer. LN, LV’s…Stanley..record…all names mentioned in the replies are all manufacturers….B&Q…Screwfix etc are middlemen with no particular loyalty to individual manufacturers, yet offer refunds….because it’s the law!! Our...

Gents...thanks I

Martin…Martin…Martin…. …..this place is where I come to vent off…..I get enough of this at work with riggers and scaffolders thinking their hero’s without it spilling over here. Having the red mist for the last 6 months is bad enough without it being made worse. Ian

Mike...they too get my attention......when you have to travel 400 miles and do an overnight the admission price pales into insignifigance. As a matter of interest.....i paid £150 for 2 concert tickets for my kids to see robbie williams....i regularly go to the cinema min £50 after pop and...
