    New, incompetent, advice-needy

    Unpaving

    As already mentioned a lot depends on what is under the pavers..if it’s sand, removing individual pavers then leaves the edges of the remaining around the space created unsupported and liable to sink..until you’ve taken one up you won’t know what issues you have..

    Need advice for dismantling shaft and searching for bearings for Kity 637

    Cobalt Drills

    Dormer and Presto, are really good but expensive If you’re looking for a set of HSS 1-13mm the Dormer sets are excellent…look for recent ones which have a four facet point…much better than the original standard ground point… Be careful of buying no name makes, even though they may say cobalt…...
