Handy tools

[bishbashbosh]

I brought the Fat max tool bag rucksack, which I found really useful when working on a big building site. Obviously free's up your hands to carry materials and drills. You be surprised how much you can get in them and very sturdy too. 3.5 mm re-threader must have, grips, set square comes in handy. Martindale and voltage indicator, magnetic small spirit level. These are some of my favourite things hah!

you can get large bags with a shoulder strap you know, leaves hands free for drill case or materials

Armeg flooring cutter.. The one that cuts a rebate on the hole so you can drop in one of their circular plastic discs afterwards.

Also.
Flexible shaft drill chuck. Useful for drilling through noggins in stud walls and in floor voids when there's not enough room to get the entire drill in..!

Lightmates and clamp meter are priceless.

hi, i grabbed some lightmates on offer once but barely used as more for awkward situations i find like chandeliers or gu10 downlights etc that are eager to bust the plaster around them if removed! my concern is they have female plugs on them and i use fluke mf and without messing with many sets of leads and buying more (which cost a bomb may i say for what they cost to manufacture) i cant see a way of using the lightmates with fused leads if you use fluke mf and fluke leads. this renders them useless to me for anything but dead tests. Id be grateful if anyone can share their setup

I always keep an eye out for the discs in the reduced bins at DIY sheds. The staff never seem to know what they are..!
Got my last batch at 99p each.

Me old man has given me a tool to cut tongue and groove boards. It's like a skate with a cutting blade on it that ya stamp on on and skate it along! Can't wait to try it out, especially as I was a keen skate boarder a few years back. I reckon it's gonna be a right handy bit if kit. Any of you chaps had a go on one of these?
