    Advice on Power Tools

    I’ve been working as an Adult Trainee for just under a year now. I’ve bought some 18v Milwaukee Drills and SDS and a Combi Drill. We mainly work in Fire and Security and I was considering selling it and maybe buying some 12v gear as using an 18v SDS to put up a bell box is a right pain. Due to...

    Hi everyone, I'm starting level 2 and need some advice about tools

    I start my level 2 next week as a mature student and I decided to do it at college instead of one of those intensive courses so hopefully I've made the right decision.
