What tool next

[Dooby]

Oh ok then! I've done very little with metalwork/conduit as have about as much strength as an over-ripe banana so am amazed when I create angles at all. In fact literally folding paper could be a better bet *looks up C&G lvl 3 origami*

 

[FrankUK]

unless something is lost in the translation i've never known anyone using paper to gauge angles.
anyways i just use my eye , its fairly accurate.

Good point! Or a head torch? Either/or really.

I got mine about 4 weeks ago, you will not be dissapointed!

Biff I had one of those lasted about 10-15 uses, and I look after my gear, the cable has snapped inside the sheath where you constantly put it on and take it off!

 

[D Skelton]

You got me worried now! Mine is fine, any chance you got a duff one keniff?

 

[keniff]

I'm not sure it's where the cable meets the dimmer pack you wiggle the cable it flickers on and off like one of the cores has broken in the cable, I think it's a bad design but a brilliant light output!

 

[keniff]

The petzl zipka plus 2 head torch is what I'm going to try next looks interesting

 

[D Skelton]

Yeah, it's not what you'd call solidly constructed, but I treat mine well and it still operates fine. I bought it for the light output and jesus christ, it could light up a whole town!

funny, when I read the title of this, I thought it was about some members on here

 

[bignev]

I got a set of rolson screw drivers and some rolson snips when i finoshed my course

This is your next priority purchase! It's more than decent enough to get you started:

Draper 34704 300 mm Combination Square: Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools

I do have a pro one but it is probably my most used hand tool along side my screw drivers and snips. It is used all day every day!

If you can't afford that then you can get 500sheets of copy paper for £3.99 should last a while
