What tool did you buy today?

[DiscoStu]

I made use of my Festool voucher and bought a CTL Midi extractor that came with a free cleaning kit in a systainer and I bought a Rotex 125. I also bought the systainer with the inserts for it.

My old Ryobi power planer finally died. Treated myself to a new one (don't really use it much to be honest, only on site for doors).

£83 pounds at Axminster

So as my old Bosch jigsaw had the variable speed bypassed due to failure a year ago, I thought I would put the saving I made towards on of these...

was nearly tempted by one of these as well, but wisely put the credit card away..

They are made by JSP and sold as a JSP Powercap but Axminster now sell them under their own name.

I bought ona of those at the back end of last year and am very pleased with it. I've often wondered why none of the other makers have bothered to properly integrate hose and cable storage.

Not tried mine yet. Hopefully it will be good. Recently my wife had to hold the hose from the dyson onto a Festool hose while I did some work in the house!

Ordered one of these laser rangefinders the other day from toolstop. Delivered yesterday. So far it looks great ,really accurate and it links to my phone or tablet to transfer measurements instantly. Bosch do some really good free apps to use with it.

No more asking customers to hold the end of my tape lol

I've been keeping my eye out for a decent Stanley no.4 as my one is fairly tatty.
And saw this one on the 'bay at the weekend which arrived today.

Today I bought a set of ten diamond needle files from Lidl. Only £3.99. They will be useful for sharpening saws and shaping moulding plane cutters.

With the bar clamp to keep the mortice width set constant while moving the bars.

I now know why people pay so much for veritas stuff. This thing is soooooo much more pleasant to use than the 30-year-old beech design one I had been using.

 

[Baldhead]

Bought these yesterday tbh, http://www.axminster.co.uk/veritas-supe ... ers-476257 tried the thickest one on a piece of ash, I was very impressed, dirt cheap too.

Not a tool and probably only a new idea to me but I was quite proud of thinking of it anyway. Bought a couple of metric steel shaft collars with grub screws. Been doing a bit of morticing with auger bits and the electric tape used as a depth gauge kept getting ripped off by the chips. I have a couple of the star-m ones you can use by hand or in electric drills. In the hand drill they rip through the timber and the electrical tape doesn't last long. Irritating.
£2.50 up to 20mm then the prices start jumping up. Free postage too. Woop. Got the 25 and 30mm too because sometimes life is just too short to be sodding about.

Only just found this thread.
Not sure if this counts as I didn't pay for it, but today i was given a Clarke IG1000 with faulty pull start. Could be an easy fix.

Took the plunge and bought a Scheppach HS105 yesterday, it should arrive in a day or two, I will do a review of it if anyone is interested, looking forward to putting to the test,
