What tool did you buy today?

[NazNomad]

I bought one of these ... Brand new 2nd hand (eh?) ... Never been opened.

£25

One of these, 'cos my Panasonic 21.6v hammer drill won't go through the concrete in our house walls, and my Draper SDS drill is too heavy for a lot of jobs. Also I thought it looked ace.

Does this count? . Secondhand 26inch dominion saw bench with a startrite 10 inch cabinet saw.



Cheers

Jon

 

[Peter Sefton]

looks like a great combo Jon.

Ooh, that looks very similar to the Festool whatchamacallit. Bet it was cheaper. Now if Makita copy this copy I'll be sorely tempted.

Does this count? Bought it yesterday, thinking of going over to the dark side

Only a tadge cheaper, but it has the SDS+ chuck which sounds useful to me.

Go on USA woodwork forums... That looks like one of their standard garages attached to the house.

My Bridgeport j head milling machine is being................. dropped off tomorrow

Hope they don't do that too literally . Son_in_law just bought a £400 secondhand cooker off Ebay to replace a damaged one in their house. The couriers must have either dropped it on one corner, or hit it with a fast moving forklift as the front edge was stove in by about an inch, so it's totally unuseable. The transport was booked via Parcel to Go, and both they and the actual courier are denying liability, hiding behind a very small print clause in the contract.
A very expensive lesson - be warned.

I don't know if it counts but I bought a sash lock for a door then realised that it's 5mm too big after demolishing the packaging so I can't return it.

If anyone needs a 75mm 3 lever lock I'll let it go for a fiver.

A Crown Tools 3/4" square end scraper. Cryogenic HSS no less (whatever difference that makes)
Also a 75mm Axminster screw chuck and a couple of spare screws. I know it's not hard to make your own but being a 'pro' woodworker I've got stacks of money to burn Translated this means I'm too lazy and need them tomorrow without any fuss

 

[IHc1vtr+]

Wood and carbide hole saw sets and the japanese saw from Lidl.
