    Can anyone advise me if this Solar Briefcase is safe to charge android/iphones with.

    Hey everyone, First off, may I apologise for jumping into your forum for a somewhat newbie question. Myself and my partner work at music festivals throughout the year, we do henna tattoos, so after the sun goes down we close. This means we never pay for an electricity supply with our pitch...

    Pricing for periodics?

    Hi guys, back again with another pricing question. How much is reasonable to charge for a periodic inspection? Before going on my own I was subying to someone at £75 per install. So clearly higher as that spark had to be making something for himself. Would like some suggestions please. Thanks

    Anyone tried to repair / replace cells in Bosch 10.8 L-ion?

    Got one that's not very happy - claims to be full when it isn't - and a quick look suggests the pack will pop open and can probably replace whatever the cells are straight off the RS shelf. Anyone tried this before? [have posted this here and not tools as it's equally an electrics issue!]
