Ok folks. What are all you tool tarts hoping to get for Xmas? Any Gucci bits of kit out there that Santa’s going to bring you?

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.

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!

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

i bought myself a dewalt brushless oscillating multi-tool, sick of padsawing lath and plaster!

Part of my van racking escapade required me to ‘invest’ in an 18v Bosch cordless circular saw as I needed to make a number of small cuts whilst fitting - that’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Nice kit and glad I bought it.
Over December I’ve been using the £60 of vouchers they give you when you join Electricfix, £10 at a time - careful with what you buy I’ve bought some useful things. I know it’s psychology about the tenner off each time BUT I get tools! No brainer!

Your be going through blades like no tomorrow on lathe n plaster

Yes cut a jig saw blade down . Preferably one with variable speed.

my boss will be paying for any blades needed so not to worry, although i do like the idea of jigsaw/hacksaw blades cut down and bolted to an old blunt blade if needs must
