judging from the length of your post, pete, it's obvious that you are suffering from "not bought a new tool in ages" syndrome. my advice is to get on the tinternet and find some new tool to satisfy your tool tart craving for another week or so. :D:D:D.
You're right there Tel, I'm saving up my pennies until I go to ELEX, always a chance of a blag at those dos
 
Ok @SWD I will retire then. Oh no second thoughts as I would not qualify as I don't really need to just like to. So do tell how do you stop drill bit skidding? Hacksaw for conduit cutting? Dearie me you need to update your technique if you worked with me I could fix that bad habit though.;)

Normal punch and a hammer if you need an automatic one then you are either a tool tart or a gaylord.

I forgot I did proper conduit in the day 32mm none of this poncey plastic stuff........ ;o))))))
 
I have a few cutters that can be used for cutting plastic conduit.
One is for cutting car hoses (SnapOn), the other two are for cutting plastic water pipes (Tool Station and Rothenberger).
So rarely use them that I leave them at home and end up using my junior hacksaw instead.
Using a chop saw or circular saw for metal conduit does help with cutting straight, though it’s a lot of extra weight.
Don’t need a de-burring tool if you have a round file.
 
Yeh you just push it and it automatically clicks into material and leaves a small indent to stop skidding I find it very helpful on concrete block walls where they are knobbly it will deliver a drill point accurately even on the high point of the texture of the wall as the drill will tend to gravitate toward a depression every time.
