I've replaced almost all of my electric power tools that got damaged in the flood last year. I wouldn't mind that bench grinder for under a tenner, it would save using the angle grinder which is not really stable for grinding.

I bought a bench grinder last year from JTF in Preston, that's 150 watt and it's not worth the space it takes up on the bench. It will definitely be getting replaced with one a bit more powerful later in the year.

Ah! right cheers Tony I've never had one, more wattage needed then.

These are okay for home use they are not meant for industrial use, excellent price for the basics.

I've just collected mine, spent a small fortune, seems I bought too many power tools.

Now to sneak them passed SWMBO.

You may find it easier to leave them in the boot of the car until she goes out or in the bath, that's what I do

Lol

I do the very same thing, it seems to work. My argument is... how else can I do all these jobs she wants doing without brand new tools.

I really pushed the boat out last week and bought a DeWalt high impact drill. Wow, the tourqe and power is unbelievable compared to a normal drill. It set me back £160 but it is really a great piece of kit

I've got a power washer being delivered tomorrow so I'm hoping it's not raining because I'll have to be in the front doing some gardening to meet the parcel guy before he knocks on the front door

Although she will find out at the end of the month because I used her debit card lol
