    New Hammer

    I have Estwing 20oz straight claw, I find it easier to control than a 16oz, its best hammer I've found for tacking clips into cement, no bending nails as often.

    Are employers spying on employees using Simpro software

    Tracking vehicles and workforce is pretty standard stuff these days is it not? Can be used to save overheads by sending nearest man, also handy if vehicle is stolen.

    Chip and pin recommendations

    So what brands are we all using for power tools?

    Dewalt for me, have a mains Metabo chaser, but everything else is Yellow and Black. Mate has an old AEG chaser, its a good job, dont think they make them now, but id have been buying it over the Mfe30 at the time if they did.
