Wera Tool Check Plus, not quite the cheapest it's been at £52.90, but I've 'pulled the trigger' anyway....

C'mon for half a Benjamin, what you got to lose? But, and this might not be relevant to you, if you're pressing in 'metalastic' suspension bushes - say on an old four wheeler - 12 tons might not cut it. There's a reason the 20t size is popular. Given the physical size of that thing, I might...

Excellent, thanks that worked 2nd time. I might've missed this earlier in the thread, but how is the Kreg jig working in the UK context - I assume the material thicknesses (e.g. 3/4" - 18mm) are close enough that it doesn't matter, but sourcing the screws? Sadly, we're a small, crowded...

Nope, I can't see them either, all I see is a 'no entry' roadsign pictogram

If it's a willing moose, you're also gonna need a step-ladder...

Glad you found what you wanted, let us know what it's like and how it fits into your 'workflow' Now that you've bought one, would you mind sharing who you purchased from? Matt

I'm guessing from your username your family is from the old country? My 96 year old Swiss Grandfather is currently enjoying his twilight years in the old folks home there, he has a view of the waterfall from his bedroom. He spent all of his career as the local doctor, never wanted to leave the...

That's the one! But it will be a come down after Murren. Have a look at the local beer selection in the next door 'Coop'

Where are you going to be? Don’t be fooled by the size of the place, it takes a surprisingly long time to cover distances, by North American standards anyway – not that you’d want to, some of the scenery is truly spectacular. But if you’re in the Bernese Mitteland area, then take a look at...

I've been researching some options for a UK-garage-size compatible alternatives to a Paulk bench myself. You've seen the Axminster Parf Multifunction workbench right? It would appear to tick the most boxes for me, but at £260 delivered it's quite expensive. However, a look on Ebay reveals...

If I lived stateside and was starting over, once I’d covered the really basic hand tools (socket set, pliers and screwdrivers) with something vaguely higher quality, everything else would likely be Harbor Freight. Point is, you can go into the store and at least inspect it. Guess it depends...

Don’t know about the Lone Star State, but over here, most kitchen cabinet companies are open on a Saturday morning. This is usually a good time give them a call and enquire if they have any damaged or return cabinets they’d be willing to let you have for cheap. If the answer is yes, jump in...

Ahh my bad, I neglected to google the OP’s router model number and gave a generic procedure. Should still work for others who find this thread and don’t have the Netgear. Matt

Plus 1 on this. You have all the hardware you need. The following assumes you have a tested, working good wired connection to the garage; buy/borrow and Ethernet tester and ‘buzz out’ your hardwired line from the garage to the house if you haven’t already. Only slight gotcha is you need to do...

Exactly…another armchair compressor-general here. For my future shop, I’ve squirrelled away offcuts of 22mm copper tubing (roughly 3/4”) to make the main run and 15mm (roughly 1/2”) for the drops. The material is free* so why the hell not? It’s total overkill when a standard hose-reel would...
