Agree with that Lofty, but its dead handy.
Ill order the powered one one night when I come home drunk. Like I did once, ordered bosch keks, coat, the big belt thing that Ill never wear cos i look ridiculous, the vest, which is dead handy, and sds 230v, which i ace. forgot all about it till 12 ish the next day, spent over 300£....
Bosch have some new workwear coming out soon, I cnat find any info on it, Have to say, the bosch work keks are tremendous.

My Brother PT-7600 Label Printer would probably be my favourite addition of 2011. Great machine, and finishes jobs off well.

I have not bought much recently or even in the last twelve months. some of the best bits are the decent set of cable rods, the multi tool is great, only a cheapy one but its brill got me out of some tight scrapes that would have been almost impossible to get into. also my long lasting piece of trunking lid can`t beat it for pushing cables through.
oh one thing thats in the tool box that money can`t buy is a bit of passed on knowledge I have worked with some great people in the past who have given me some great tips

 

[Phil]

oh forgot one. just remembered as I have just had to get a splinter out from under my finger nail, green slime ozzing out

so don`t forget a good needle or tweezers for such occasions

tell you what comes in handy, karcher drill dust catcher, good when putting up wall lights, impresses the customers, sounds like a high powered marital aid.

Got my eye on a Bosch 3 plane laser level (GLL3-80P) but only have enough money for a chalk line.

level, aligning sanitary and heating systems

My Favourite Gadget: Has to be my Neon mainstester:tounge_smile:

Not a gadget as such but a length (about 1 metre) of 12mm wide flat steel bar with a slight chisel edge is useful for 'cutting' through plaster behind skirting boards as you can get it quite flat to the wall.

Lofty.
