Nice, but not essential.

Been umming and ahing about getting a small battery circular saw. It'd be handy not having to use the mains one on occaisions, but not really essential. Yesterday I spotted that they have the 18v Makita on offer at Smiths for £88:00 bare. So I did a bit more umming and ahing at the thought of spending £88:00 for a non-essential.

Filled the van up today, fuel light not on, but low. £109:00 One Hundred and Nine tittyfcuking pounds for a tank of diesel! :eek:

So I'm definitely buying the bast4rd saw as it'll last a s**t load longer than the liquid gold I've just put in my tank.

People went mental when fuel shot up in a jump, but as it's been a slow incremental increase over the last 18 months everyone's OK with it.

I'm putting my rates up in January too, anyone that doesn't like it can join the orderly queue waiting to kiss my 4rse. I've got a wife, three cats and a heritage plasterer to support. :(

Did you see your heritage plasterer carved a pumpkin in your image? .... just saying, not causing trouble.... :aburrido:
 
In other news just googled your username:

The imago is the only stage during which the insect is sexually mature and, if it is a winged species, has functional wings. The imago often is referred to as the adult stage.[1]

Erm..... interesting.... :estudioso:

That is one meaning, however way back in the mists of time when I first started using the internet (94/95) I was trying to think of a user name.

YOU THERE AT THE BACK! Yes,you. Wake up and pay attention! :LOL:

There was a copy of an old map on the wall near the desk which had "Imago Mundi" on it, which (as I'm sure you know) is Latin for "image of the world". I thought that a was rather appropriate metaphor for the internet so I've used Imago or Imagomundi ever since.

Well that certainly sounds more respectable than a winged horny insect!

Could have been worse if it'd been a flange calendar on the wall. Still, I suppose NunsDitheryBits isn't such a bad user name. :LOL:

I popped into Toolstation to pick up a can of expanding foam for my son, and walked out with a nice shiny new DeWalt drill-driver!
Why oh why do they put them on the counter?
Damn you Toolstation!
 
18v cordless Makita circular saw I bought few months back is great, had saw used once from tool hire place £60 got 5ah battery from other place £50 charger £28 goes for ages on 1 charge.
 
I hummed and ahhed for ages over a cordless circular saw and ended up with a Parkside one from Lidl. Think it was 50 or 60 all in but all it gets used for is thick kinspan or the like.
 
I bought a new Makita set a few months ago and love it, especially the screw gun now I got used it and the quick change multi tool

Aye mate, love it, heard Makita can be a bit temperamental with jamming but been using it a few months now and no jams so far so fingers crossed

What model im on the lookout myself but as you said had heard bad press.

What lengthh screws you been using?
 
It's at the job so will have to have a look at model tomorrow. using 50mm end up using them most of the time even though don't always need the length but good to have those incase come across any overboarding,. Also find it's very handy for screwing down sheet flooring
 
Only takes up to 55mm, had the odd misfired screw but that only takes a few seconds to pull out the rogue screw, been using the screws from PISS
