I like that, although it's a heck of a lot harder on batteries than the red version.

They also do a 10.8 version if you have the batteries and charger

Van racking for my new (second hand) Nv200 Nissan. Got to wait until the Christmas break to get it all fitted so I am amassing all that I need to do it, which means that my lounge is full of kit but it all looks nice - hello Ollie!

Got myself these over the last 2 weeks. Well happy.

Exactly what these are for, my testing kit, yes they are Wiha.

I'm usually a Knipex user and use bigger 180mm side cutters for everyday use. These little 160mm Wiha cutters have much more leverage power. I'm very impressed indeed with them. The soft finish grips are nice too. Very good value for the set of three, was about £40.

Nice!

I've recently ditched the Blue Groove - find the Bosch Self Cut Speed Bits better and less of a threat to wrists

Cool I use knipex for everyday use and a ck set I’ve had for around 10 years for 1st fixing

Just got delivery of this: TL2 - http://elwislighting.com/product/tl2/

It's to replace the yellow Screwfix 11W LED which I have gone through three of in the past year due to them all having faulty switches. Will be getting a refund on my last yellow one and looking forward to this better quality light.
I read that the detachable battery pack has 'normal' off the shelf purchasable cells in it, and that it is easy to upgrade to higher amp-hour cells to make it last longer. Not had a look yet though. The Elwis unit looks well made so looking forward to using it.

Took me over two days and a lot of adapting because vans aren’t square but I’m please and will be filling it for the first job on Boxing Day! Merry Christmas everyone.

I got this to use with my cordless batteries.

Not cheap, but very bright and lasts long enough to do a board change in a cubby hole lol

It’ll cost you a one-r to get the thing to bend anything!
I booked the van in for a diagnostic on 2nd of Jan but have since booted it and burnt all of the soot out and now it runs like a dream. Quieter as well with the carpet tiles down. I’m a bit in love with it actually - is that wrong?

quick visit to local cash converters on friday unearthed a workzone 12Vmultitool. quick release version, in case with a few blades, mint. £19.99. snapped his hand off. only 12 battery though. OK, it's aldi special, but quite ruggedly made.

Shopping in a far away place, I saw this and I just couldn't resist ... I can actually see the bubble easily, specs or no
