I get on really well with one of our delivery drivers who at least has a sense of humour - at least it's better than mine over the rabid spending prowess of my wife. Comments such as "there's a fair bit of sh*te today, mate" or, "this is a mistake, it's got your name on it" or "I'm thinking of...

I bought this on the 1st September to complete a job with a family member after a gas operated unit hired had persistently failed to perform with any reliability. The Milwaukee is a bare unit item and was always going to be sold after completing the job as I'm not trade and, frankly, it would be...
