Re: Power tools
I've used, and owned most brands in the last 25 years. Starting with black and decker many years ago... Makita used to be great (I've still got an old ni-cad drill, that's about 15 years old and it's still going strong). Same for a hitachi drill and impact driver that's about 5 years old. Last year ...

Re: Hi From NR
Something really odd with this post, the post date is from 2010 when we first opened/rescued the forum; and NR's user doesn't appear as a valid user (or exist in the database at all) NR if you've rejoined, can you start a new thread in this forum please so I can figure out what's going on with your ...

Re: Potential UK power failure
Ironically a lot of solar installations actually shut down if the property loses connection to the mains! Primarily to stop an owners panels sending a jolt to an electrician working down the line somewhere. I'm still considering getting some solar installed but if I were to do so it would be config...

Re: Potential UK power failure
I have a 4kw solar system on my house, which generates far more than we use (20kwh per day last week on bright days); so not too much of an issue for us, especially now we're coming into more daylight hours. I would like a battery bank to keep us going for a few days completely independently of the ...

Re: are you planning to hunker down to avoid ppl contact due to covirus
I'm fortunate that I work in tech, so I've been working remotely for the last week and a bit, and our whole company globally has been encouraged to work remotely. The Mrs isn't so lucky, and can't work from home but she's part time fortunately. We've been topping up the stores over the last few week...
