Useless Pressies?
OK, so who got completely useless DIY pressies this year?
SWMBO gave me a B&D Auto Tape - to my mind a solution to a problem that didn't exist. Plus my daughter gave me the PP version for my biffday in July - so I now have two battery operated tape rules. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |

A few quid to spend on something that you could use but probably wouldn't actually buy yourself. Last years vouchers bought a handheld vacuum cleaner.

I've found the old trick of masking a bit of paper to the wall just below the drilled hole and then curving the paper up and attaching it to the wall to form a kind of trough, is great as it catches all the dust and you don't even need to vacuum after. RS I use one of the "old fashioned" dustpans (the half enclosed type) and just fix to the wall with masking tape, but only a thin strip of it going onto the wall. Easy peel off and move to the next hole. Just make sure you don't drop it afterwards!!! David |

Easy peel off and move to the next hole. Just make sure you don't drop it afterwards!!! David As an apprentice some 30 years ago we were shown how to make a dust bag/envelope out of any available bit of paper and stick said bag with insulating tape to the wall below where we were drilling. The 'trick' was to stick the insulating tape to your 'bib and braces' a few times to remove some of the stickiness. Still stuck the bag to the wall well enough but came off easily. Saw somewhere recently that somebody has patented it!! Could've been a millionaire!!! My mate had a variation on the 'bag technique'. His adaption was to make a hole in the piece stuck to the wall and drill through it. Totally brilliant for the first few seconds until the bag stuck to the drill bit, rotated at high rpm and spread the dust all over the room, ceiling, budgie etc etc. So annoyed he whipped the drill away from the wall, placed said drill on the floor and the heat of the drill bit melted the carpet [a quality nylon product]...not a good day! |
