New Tools to buy? And more

Roof battens, please tell me you're not serious?

Tried few different methods, ct1 pboard in Web dab out from there, 3" x 2" or 4" x 2" same as roof batten method, but I find roof battens (red ones 50 x 25 mm) work the best as hammer in flush with edges of rsj, tack a pboad onto them the double it up with another pboard.
9 out of 10 times the builders have got the steel in pissed so end up having to dab the second layer of pboard to the first then half tack through with longer screws, then nip them up when the dabs gone off.

Scabbling paint to receive new silicone finish.

Fast and efficient.


Would have gone through a few diamond blades by now.

55m² today of pargetting (high spots and paint) and still on the first blade. Not soft render either.

I'll attach the link.
Bargain people - bargain.

Hilti mate.

If I don't have that one, my back up is a metabo.


Then quite a long way back to Milwaukee then Makita and DeWalt.

Bosch after them.

I have had all of these - all in small 4" guise.
And knocked the b*ll***s out of each. Looked after them - just worked them hard. No slamming them down or dropping and no work or let them near rain etc.
