    New Hammer

    I have Estwing 20oz straight claw, I find it easier to control than a 16oz, its best hammer I've found for tacking clips into cement, no bending nails as often.

    Hole saw advice

    Bosch progressor, got a kit on offer in Screwfix last August, wish I'd been using them sooner, far better than any other brand, teeth stay sharp for much longer, even drilling through H Irons. You can buy a pack of adapters to make any holesaw a progressor, but id not be moving away from the...

    Are employers spying on employees using Simpro software

    Tracking vehicles and workforce is pretty standard stuff these days is it not? Can be used to save overheads by sending nearest man, also handy if vehicle is stolen.

    Chip and pin recommendations

    I have sum up, think its 1.69% and can do card not present transactions too, so can take a call out fee over the phone before you leave to attend.

    So what brands are we all using for power tools?

    Dewalt for me, have a mains Metabo chaser, but everything else is Yellow and Black. Mate has an old AEG chaser, its a good job, dont think they make them now, but id have been buying it over the Mfe30 at the time if they did.

    New multimeter, suggestions?

    I dont need one at the moment, but i think for the handiness id go for something like this next time i need a multimeter, handy for those unlabelled boards, when isolating a circuit, just a bit pricy for the convenience to save walking to and fro...

    Veto Pro Pac Tech LC or Tech XL

    Looking at the tech xl myself, especially with their promo at the moment, the extra bag looks a real handy feeder bag that you can hang on things with the clippable handle, i see folks with the veto bags at 5 year old and ive gone through 2x dewalt tote bags in 3 years need a new one soon.

    Best places to buy tools

    I dont rate the CK stuff much, their screwdrivers are decent, good tips on them, but not the nicest of grips. I find the Wiha screwdrivers the best all round set, you get them in screwfix on offer quite often, or try amazon. For snips and pliers i have knipex and klein, prefer the knipex...
