Despite liking Festool the festool one is a rebadged Fein and not worth the absurd price premium for the very minor differences. The cheaper Fein multicut seems a better buy than their dearer supercut, itself a hundred quid less than the Festool. I have tended to buy festool in recent years, but this one was a bit of a piss take so went for the fein

The guys that installed our new water supply left a tidy wheelbarrow and one traffic cone behind when they left.
I did let them know but they said it wasn't worth their time (4 hour round trip) to collect them.

I knew I shouldn't click on this thread. @keithmac @Profpointy I didn't really know what one of those oscillating cutters was, now I've just got to get one. I do a lot of diy and seem to have missed that tool. Threads like this always cost me a fortune.

To add, my latest purchase has been a second hand Stihl brushcutter. Nice heavy duty one. Just been out using it and it's great.

I'm the same with CD review on Radio 3 saturday. Hear a few obscure composers and end up spending 50 quid !
Recently bought a laser level after seeing our kitchen fitter use one. Bloody good buy and has genuinely saved me lots of hassle and time fitting shelves and so forth. Well worth the £100 my Bosch blue one cost.

Just bought one of these to finish off the sealant after re-furbishing our bathroom. In the past I've tried all the different methods ... wet finger, teaspoon, various commercial products but this is by far the easiest to use and gives an excellent finish. If you're embarking on a bathroom/kitchen refurb you need one of these!

Today I got this chap from Lidl -
One of those multi-purpose measuring jobs. Measures distance, finds studs (beeps every time I pick it up) and has a laser level.
The cats approve of the laser level

Three cargo slings for my electric loft hoist, a one metre one and two twice the length. Materials handling is going to get positively industrial round here in the next ten days.
