    Sliding Patio Door question:

    Mrs kinggsxr. 'Not sure I like it. Take it back' Would like one of those Chesterfield's but access through the front door could be a big problem.

    Snap-on KR-1000a tool box followed me home yesterday

    That is a fine box. I can top that. On Saturday I was offered a 60's or 70' SO top box 26inch or so, six drawer, top row of drawers all came out together. All of a piece but needed a proper fettle. Stamped on the back couldn't fully make it all out. Plus an equally scruffy Britool E74/40T...

    Dewalt customer service. I get better help from the cat.

    I bought a 36" roll cab from a large company, Halfords. Not in the same league as tool brands but ok for me. The drawer runners on this came apart, this thing has a guarantee of anything between 3 years and life. Phoned customer services for replacement runners, operative didn't understand...

    Need a good Adjustable Wrench.

    This one of them 'I'll get some popcorn' threads? Go for that Knipex pliers wrench. Bahco non chinesium were the go to. Gedore just as good and I have a really nice Proto.

    Making the battery Makita won't.

    Just watched, could be holding a miniature death star in our hands. The fake LXT has 6x 3.7v cells, may start by replacing those with branded. Recently bought Makita and Hikoki genuine batteries £65 and £60 for 5ah.

    Making the battery Makita won't.

    This is interesting. Do not dabble with electricity at all myself but youngest son could take this on. I bought a fake battery to fit my LXT tools, 5ah for £25. It's pants, and lasts minutes in drill or hedge trimmer. Case is ok though and it is just unscrewed to get inside. May look into this.

    Surprise????

    Has to be an 'educational' video on how to access that lock with two paper clips. Would have been in there quick smart, I would. Edit. I don't like surprises. Especially when I don't expect them.

    From #81,211 Knew I had a coupler drive square and found it today. Was a 9/32" , somebody or somehow one end has been reduced (none of my doing). Fits ok one end, a bit wobbly t'other. Sat in the torque wrench and a NOS Tipco extension from the 50's with military broad arrow. Quite a result I...
