Last tool you bought, next tool you're buying?

[Admin]

What was the last tool you added to your arsenal?

And what's the next you're considering to get?

Oh and I have no affiliation with any of these I'm just an engineer that likes things that work and makes my day easier.

I was the same as you mate, I never felt the need for a multi tool.

18 months ago I bought (what I thought) was a crappy 15 quid Ryhas (sp) multi tool off flea Bay. Came with about 20 accessories.

I've used it no end of times and the bugger won't die! Have put 1 new blade on the circular one and one plunge blade in all that time.

I will upgrade when this dies but it's been brilliant! Floorboards, steel conduit, wood, it hasn't skipped a beat and it's been battered. Only downside is it's not 110v.

If interested I'll get you the link.

Hi Jon and welcome to the forums....yes that would be helpful probably do me for the time being just for bits and pieces around the house..great when you get a review from someone who has tried it out...have looked at a few but doesn't really justify the money for the use it would get from me....regards Turnpin🙂

New 18volt brushless grinder. Burnt the old carbon brushed one out on Saturday. It actually melted the carbon rushes into the body! Mind you it had a hard life.
The new brushless one is amazing.

Good for tight spots.

Rothenberger waste pipe cutting set, although you need a grip like a boaconstrictor to turn the things.

I think twice about buying a new pencil!

Nah, if you have arms like Micky 🙂 then maybe yes. But usually it's fairly easy to turn them unless in an awkward position

 

[ShaunCorbs]

i find technique help,

pop it onto the piece you want to cut,

turn it abit by pushing along the open edge following the arrow of rotation

and then you should be fine to grab and twist easily

if it tram lines your not griping / squeezing it hard enough

If you also hold the opening too tight it's very difficult to twist them around. I'd put my hand right opposite and then start twisting it's so much easier

Grouting tools for re grouting my kitchen lol,

 

[JCplumb]

Dunno if you'd call it a tool but last thing I bought was a £2 Skywolfeye torch off ebay, took 2 weeks to arrive but it's like having a little sun in my pocket, silly bright.
Next thing will probably be a wet vac, I've struggled long enough without one now.

It definitely is a good tool though for nasty tap changes any other job. Does it run via a battery ?

Cheap 240volt air compressor for pumping up expansion vessels - particularily on unvented units. Doing it with a hand pump is just too hard
