[X30XE]

^ One of my favourites. YES YOU ARE GOING TO LET GO YOU HORRIBLE LITTLE SH...     

[X30XE]

Recently bought one of these. http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/DSO-Quad-Aluminium-Alloy-Silver-p-1033.html 

So that's.. erm.. About 9 oscilloscopes, I think.

Wow!  Never knew you could get something so useful so cheap. I'ma get me one of those bad boys. 

*sigh* This thread could get expensive

  I haven't even mentioned the Makita impact driver yet

I have a Dewalt 

Nice try Webby! Try harder

I could mention my DeWalt upmarket black and decker  orgasma gizmo impact wrench, or the impact driver, or the plasma cutter, or Sammy.

But overall, I think my favourite tool that can be used on those awkward Omega bits is a tunnie

The best tool on here is you Webby!

[Webby the Bear]

I'll take that as a compliment

Telescopic magnet thing 

They're even better with a light on the end!

Ive been looking for a decent one but cant find any . Where did you get yours from ?

It was about £4 from a market stall.


Currently, my favourite tool is the bigger lathe I bought last year to replace a mini-lathe.


But the plasma cutter is a real time saver for big sheetmetal jobs combined with a decent MIG welder. There is also something particularly satisfying about doing a good aluminium weld, although I don't manage it very often.

Cant see any on the bay that look durable , most are chinese rubbish  Although i did pick up a very bright torch from B&M store for £1 , little led torck brightest ever bought

They light up a wide area, I like a beam of light.

I must have about 18 torches now , bit of a collector 

[Webby the Bear]

I got my eye on a Draper rechargeable torch. I keep dropping mine and the internal screw locators break off. There's only one left

Using a telescopic radio aerial with a magnet on the end to retrieve metal objects from confined spaces isn't really a recipe for durability. The expensive ones aren't much better than the cheapies. I consider them consumables, and bin them when broken.


This is not true of LED torches; I find the cheap ones(and I still have a few left that were 10 for £15) to be bright but have no spread or reach. They are worth spending a few quid on.
