Congratulations.
You must be made up getting the start.
When buying tools go for a good make, save you money in the long run.

How funny you should say that Nick, when I was young and just starting out I was arrested and charged for carrying a 'point or bladed article in a public place'... My crime? I had a stanley knife, tape measure, bradawl, and terminal driver in my coat pocket that I had forgotten to put away in my tool box. When we packed up at Xmas. £200 fine, £50 costs and a criminal record that stopped me getting a job at the MOD in whitehall back in 1998.

i was working on a job where we were installing/glanding 120mm 4c, and ive got a large prying bar, that is pointed ot one end. I carried that on the train, and nothing was said. i always hev stan in my toolbag, and its blatantly obvious to anyone that im a tradesman of some description. a screwdriver is just as dangerous.

yep screwdriver could be dangerous if you wanted it to be, but you english love the knife as weapon

Great to be using conduit- I bet your day flew in.
Keep safe my friend, no tears for your wife and young daughter.

As opposed to semtex or dry mix? And before you start on me, I ain't taking the mick outta the troubles, as my old dear hails from Dundonald. I just wasn't gonna let that one go unanswered!!!! LOL
