New tools
Hi there fraternity,
Just a short one on a couple of bargains just purchased. One locally and the other online. Unfortunately, just for UK members.
Went into Lidl recently and as my wife did the important bits I usually end up browsing the dry goods. They usually have tools but I don’t usually buy them as the quality isn’t that good, but I did notice a digital protractor for about a Tenner and gave it a go. Has the usual off/on and zero button. I decided to test it first with a known angle and it’s spot on. Use it all the time especially with my compound mitre saw.
Second was a deal I received from a mail from Axminster Tools. I usually buy Kreg screws, but they can be expensive. Axminster offering a 1000 box mixed screws from UJK for £19 plus £1 delivery. So, arrived today, unfortunately my wife did not notice they don’t use the Kreg square drive, but instead a Torq T20. Instead.
Now I had spare t20 bits but not that long and you can’t fit them into a bit holder, so trusty welder to the rescue. I’m not a welder, which is obvious from the photos but worked out ok. I didn’t want to lose it so used the Dremel to cut some slots in the box and that should Suffice.
