Hi,
Thanks for this David; it just goes to prove it pays to shop around. Talking of shopping I now visit Aldi first then pop around to Morrison's. By doing this I can save a lot of money over a year; take for example fresh Soya milk. Bron and I use a lot of this and I now buy it in packs of twelve 1 ltr cartons; at Aldi it is 40p per carton cheaper so each time I pick up a pack at Aldi I save £4.80 compared to Morrison's. Yes I'm tight!!
When I buy kit I always check that it will do the job I want it to before buying but I'm like most in that once I get the kit home I seldom read the instructions.
I like kit that is well on top of the job and to this end I dislike battery powered kit. I think if I was working remote from an electric supply I would prefer to use a small generator as I dislike flat batteries. I once bought a cheap battery powered drill from eBay and it was actually very good at sinking stainless wood screws into the new garage doors I was making; it must have sunk about 150 screws before it died; I finished the job with my big Bosch mains drill with variable speed. The battery powered drill ended up at the local tip.
Kind regards, Col.
