Whetstones

The highest grit being 6000. I'm okay in terms of sharpening items. Used a diamond stone to good effect before. I ...

Re: Power tools
Nice drill korolev. You will get loads of pleasure using an sds drill. :D I have built up my tools over the last 20 years. I have most of the Ryobi one+ range. Very pleased with them, especially the impact driver. Makes light work out of using 100mm screws. Really enjoyed using a scroll saw for seve...
Re: Torches.
ForgeCorvus,
I have never heard of Nebo torches.
Looked at the links, then went on their website.
Torches look well made and are reasonably priced. I particularly like the look of their 6000 lumens torch.
I don't think I could justify buying another torch though I already own 9.

Re: Torches.
I have the Olight r50 pro seeker torch. Not so much a working torch, but it is one hell of a bright torch. On full beam it can light up a full size football pitch. I take the dog up to the field next to me at night and it lights up the whole area. Superb bit of kit. Word of caution though on full be...

Re: Thermo flask under £20
Thanks for the replies.
Was looking at the company called thermos. Stanley flasks do look good.
As featherstick said might do a bit of research on them.
Cheers
