Hard workers

Ok before we got the house I got some tools and previously had some tools that I have been using over the last month and a bit of ownership.

One of the things I have is a set of five pry bars by roughneck. From tool station the link is Here.

These are the three bigger bars and they have been amazing for all the work I have needed them. 

I have used them to lifting floorboards, Prying off the old well fitted skirting boards, leavening out well seated nails and screws from the walls and they have taken a beating from a 4lb hammer forcing them where I need them to go!

For the money they cost me a while back I am truly amazed how good they are and they look the same shape.they were when I got them and I don't think I have been gentle with them.

Rating 5 out of 5

I took the plunge!

Ok looking in all the rooms I have to replace all the skirting boards in I have decided to get a mini circular saw.

I decided on a mini one as I have no need to cut huge bits of wood currently I need to cut a lot of 13mm thick pine wood at various angles to place on walls.

1st one I purchased was from Toolstation by draper it was 600w and cut to 27mm depth.

It looked to be what I needed, it didn't say if it did angled cuts bit it said max depth at 90 degrees so I purchased it.

On opening the box I found this plunge saw to just cut straight cuts  and allowed various depths so it was no good for what I intend to use it for.

I looked on Amazon and found the worx Wa429 it cuts deeper 46mm, can plunge and will cut to a 45 degree angle, video on the link. My only concern is it is 400watt and less rpm than the draper so it could stall when cutting.

It arrived Saturday in a sturdy looking hinged plastic box. 

Out the box it looks nice and felt quite light 

This is the back side where you can set the blade depth you require 

This is the front where you can set your blade angle 

These are the steel blade and the ceramic blade 

I had a quick go at cutting up some old wood at 45 degree angles and here it is not yo bad for a quick go 

Man tool No:3

So another gadget I got. A distance laser measure it's brilliant. It can measure.

I purchaced it for approximately £15 from AMAZON.

Apparently this unit will calculate square meter and cubic meter

Man tool no:1

Well I found out that a man tool will be a valuable thing here to remove the plaster and stuff from the walls and drill the holes.

Meet the bosch sds hammer drill found on AMAZON

I will review the item after I have used it for some time

Man tool No:2

Ok I purchased another man tool this time it's a cable and pipe tracer from bosch.

The bosch truvo cable detector. I haven't used it much but I feel when stripping the damp walls this will be a valuable tool as it will aid finding power cables before the sds drill dose trying to remove the damp plaster.

I have used it a few times and it works very well with power cables

I purchased the finded from AMAZON
