 Doesn't look a bad deal at all, might pop in and spend some money.

Its basically the same one I have in my garage.  Gets a bit athsmatic if you try to use the air ratchet or hammer but does 90% of the general jobs you ask it to do.

I like the look of the sandblaster attachment.  Could be just the job for the rusty door tops.....

I managed to sneak one home without Sue noticing - until she saw the statement - "I bought some tools"

She knows I have a compressor - paid for itself in Dyson repairs

Thanks Martin, has anyone else got any good excuses for buying one of these???

I think I will have my work cut out persuading Mrs GB that this is an essential piece of workshop equipment.

Makes dusting a piece of piddle so she can use it too.

Hmmm, Cap'n I'm not very domesticated but wouldn't the dust just settle again in the same place as it was blown from? If she's going to dust things I want it done properly you know.

Hmmm, tell her you're converting to LPG, and it's your new tank

Yes and you can "discover2 how poorly it does the job after you have bought it.

How about, it's a her new jewellery cleaner.

Must be kept in the gaage, of course.
