I Bought

[Agrajag]

A wee set of kit from B&Q, I think they are having a shed load of cash flow problems just now and are punting stock for nowt.

The kit was

Angle Grinder, plus two disks.

Jigsaw plus 8 blades

Impact Drill plus 9 bits.

Various other accesories.

All in a custom box which has places for everything amd everything in it's place. Including 2 drawers for the bits, blades, discs etc.


Now it's not a big brand name, it's a B&Q own make methinks. However it cost under £17, yes £17. feckin amazing if you ask me. Stick your Black Friday up yer arse.

(for our American chums, £17 = ~US$849)

Oh I won't use them. I'm a guy, I just need to own an angle grinder I don't want to actually use one, feck I can't even work out how to put the grinding wheel on it.

If I need anything done I'll get a man in.

is there some play on words or pun there I don't see?:blink:

If someone scratched my itches right now, I'd be greatful forever.

Seriously. It itches like hell. :blink:

[DorisInsinuate]

What's an "impact drill"? Sounds lethal, play with it and post phoaties, pleasesir.

[4play]

£17 for all that they have to be shite.


I foresee a DIY tragedy.

Im guessing losing a finger in the garage with the angle grinder.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I don't know if that's a good buy or not. I've never researched prices for organ grinders and limb detachers.

Do you have your life insurance paid up?

Thrice over.

[manker]

Angle grinder and a jigsaw for £17, seems unlikely.

If you weren't Scotch, I'd call rod. I know you Jockish lads never joke about the folding green stuff :no:

[manker]

Feck, a drill as well :blink:

[sArA]

I bought one of those type kit things a couple of years ago...all looked nice and posh....and very cheap.

The drill burnt out putting a few screws in some wood never mind masonry and the electric scredriver wouldn't even manage to put a screw in some chipboard before going pop. The sander is ok and the jigsaw is too but the two main bits were fucked after first use.

No, I didn't get round to taking it all back and complaining......so its now sitting in my shed, looks new but is a bag of shit.

[clocker]

Oh sArA.

A good craftsman never blames his tools.

Craftswomen do, apparently.

[HeavyMetalParkingLot]

Gee Clocker, Get with the program. If a woman were to mess up, it is obviously through the fault of a man.

[sArA]

I don't recall blaming a man at all....just that the tools were not up to the job....

I will have you know that I am a dab hand at flatpack furniture building using nowt but a couple of screwdrivers and a bit o'glue. :snooty:

I have a wardrobe, bed, bedside table, chest of drawers and 2 under bed storage units to build this weekend.....but I have borrowed a good quality power scewdriver to take the physical strain out of it...(according to the instructions I should be able to get the lot done in about 4 hours...yeah right)

Your exchange rate looks a bit out.

17 British pounds = 30.09 U.S. dollars

Thanks to Google :happy:

Looks like a good buy though if it's £17 quid, especially if it's decent stock being cleared due to B&Q's problems.

JP being unable to type ... a tragedy?

I think I just managed to understand one of J'P's idioms :01:

Did you mean "Like rodding fish in a barrel"?

What's an idiom :blink:

[DorisInsinuate]

It's like "rod off, cawkfan".

Oh that, no, no I didn't.
