OT SDS for sale
Hi
I understand from the FAQ that it's OK to advertise unwanted items for sale. I have a Ryobi ERH-650V 240V 2kg SDS Plus Hammer Drill surplus to my requirements http://www.screwfix.com/prods/23674/...s-Hammer-Drill SF are currently selling these for £79, but TBH I only paid £39 for mine on a deal. Its been used about 4 times & is in pristine condition. One careful owner, never raced, rolled or rallied :-) Excellent tool, the only reason I'm selling is that I got a new Bosch SDS for next to nothing & its smaller, with a much smaller case. The Ryobi has a large case & won't fit into the racks on the van. Its a two function BTW. I want £20 for it, if someone in or near Kent wants it I could drop it off, failing that I'll check out carriage charges. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

I thought you went into business to make a profit rather than a loss - and I'll give you 0 out of 10 for the excuse it "won't fit into the racks on the van" - stupidest one I've heard since I retired 8 years ago (and I've heard a few good ones in my time). LOL I wonder if you'll put that down to depreciation when you put your next tax return in? Tanner-'op |

LOL Shame you're retired. A village near me is looking for a new idiot. Excuse? What excuse is that **** for brains? Read the post again. "I got a new Bosch SDS for next to nothing". I've sold the Ryobi to someone on this group at a bargain price. It hasn't cost me anything to upgrade from a very good Ryobi to an excellent Bosch. Not only do I now have a better tool, it also now fits into the racks in the van & saves space. I've improved my equipment quality at no cost to me and improved storage - bound to be bad for business efficiency. Now, why is space important to me? Its because I deliberately chose a small van, a Renault Kangoo. This will confuse you, so let me explain, its about the same size as the Austin A35 van you might remember. That one you loaded up with your Yankee screwdriver, the brace & bit, the drawknife etc. I wonder if you'll put that down to depreciation when you put your next tax return in? And what would you know about doing a tax return ****wit? SFA again. Nice try, but no cigar. Next time you decide to try having a go at someone, get someone with a brain to write the post for you. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

I also have a Titan 6kg SDS beastie I only use as a breaker. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

A friend has just part-ex'd his Kangoo for a Ford Transit Connect LWB. It seems to have about twice as much room. Someone clever could probably make a good, usable compact camper van from a Connect. I wonder if it has been done? |

That one you loaded up with your Yankee screwdriver, the brace & bit, the drawknife etc. So you chose to buy a small van to run a business heavy on material and tool use - and one not big enough at that to even hold your kit - and that is *sensible* ? You really are the village idiot! BTW, I used to control a fleet of around 20 vehicles ranging from a min-van to a 7.5 ton tipper - and never had to downsize on tools to get 'em into the 'van' - so I know a little bit more than you about the subject than someone running a one-man band - and a franchisee at that. As for the "Yankee screwdriver, the brace & bit, the drawknife etc" - well I'm still using those that I bought as an apprentice - along with a fully equipped workshop complete with all the power tools that I need (and fully trained to use and maintain by the way). I wonder if you'll put that down to depreciation when you put your next tax return in? And what would you know about doing a tax return ****wit? SFA again.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "The Medway Handyman" saying something like: This will confuse you, so let me explain, its about the same size as the Austin A35 van you might remember. That one you loaded up with your Yankee screwdriver, the brace & bit, the drawknife etc. Oh, you really know how to hurt a man. LOL. -- Dave GS850x2 XS650 SE6a "It's a moron working with power tools.

A handyman does lots of small jobs and needs to buy a huge variety of items on an almost daily basis. The trade suppliers you used to use are no cheaper than the sheds and it many cases more expensive. Its the 21st century now, catch up. and can't design van racking to take his own tools - bloody hilarious that from someone who likes to describe himself as the "perfect" handyman (and that's all you'll ever be is a handyman). Talented as I am, I can't do clairvoyant racking design. You buy a drill for £39 (rather than the £79 cost), hardly use it, and then sell it for £20 - and you're *supposed* to be a business man? Now that's what I call the "village idiot". Whoosh! Missed the point again, do pay attention. I spent £39 on a drill. I haven't spent anymore money at all. I still have a drill, but its a better one. Got that? BTW Dopeyman, whilst you have been 'working', I have spent a while way down in the Caribbean plus a few other days here and there - not bad for a "Forman" who has retired at 52 and on a pension that allows him and his wife quite a few holiday jaunts here and there - now who's the village idiot? LOL Of course you have. Never mind Dave - it's great being an 'old' fart - and not even 60 yet! Mentally you appear to be around 85. Excuse? What excuse is that **** for brains? Read the post again. "I got a new Bosch SDS for next to nothing". What do you want, a medal? Come back and boast when you can get them for free - as I can BTW because of the business contacts that I still maintain with suppliers. Oh of course you can. The suppliers you dealt with in the past love you so much they give you free power tools. We all believe you. Well according to my maths: to buy was £39 and to sell was £20 - so that's a *loss* of £19 no matter how you try and jig it. See above, your maths are crap. As for business efficiency - well!! So you chose to buy a small van to run a business heavy on material and tool use - and one not big enough at that to even hold your kit - and that is *sensible* ? You really are the village idiot! Not a clue again. My business isn't materials heavy, I do lots of small jobs, not a few big ones. BTW, I used to control a fleet of around 20 vehicles ranging from a min-van to a 7.5 ton tipper - and never had to downsize on tools to get 'em into the 'van' - so I know a little bit more than you about the subject than someone running a one-man band - and a franchisee at that. A 'foreman' running a fleet of vehicles. Oh sure, of course you did. We all believe that as well. How many times have I got to tell you ****wit - I am not a franchisee. As for the "Yankee screwdriver, the brace & bit, the drawknife etc" - well I'm still using those that I bought as an apprentice - along with a fully equipped workshop complete with all the power tools that I need (and fully trained to use and maintain by the way). Oh so now you are a qualified power tool repair technician as well. Of course you are, we all believe you. Nice try, but no cigar. Next time you decide to try having a go at someone, get someone with a brain to write the post for you. I don't smoke Dave, so I don't want your 'cigar' - and you don't really need a brain to 'have a go' at you Dave, you make it so easy with your many inane and self-righteous posts - that must be the result of all them fags you're smoking, the old grey matter of yours must be like a blood kipper now? Inane & self righteous posts? I'll let the rest of the group decide on that one. ******. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman and not a franchisee. www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

The forum isn't the place for you to prosecute your personal vendetta against Dave, it detracts from all the useful replies and makes you look mean-spirited and spiteful. Thanks |
