In my local Warehouse B&Q they have a huge section of clearance items,
including lots of power tools. Interesting variety of brands; DeWalt, Makita, Bosch, AEG, Ryobi, Hitachi, Metabo, Rexon as well as their own brand ****e. I reckon its come via Screwfix to be sold in the stores. Don't even know if its national or just my local store, but worth a look if you need something. -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

Their own brand might well be ****e, but I was looking for a cordless saw, just to roughly cut things that won't go into the car (well...where I don't need the whole length in one piece afterwards of course!) and picked up a MacAllister cordless jigsaw down from 63 to 20 quid. If it doesn't last, well, it's only a drink (according to the scale recently discussed on here of what a drink is worth, if I remember rightly!) Times must be getting tough in B+Q land if they're cutting prices by that much. |

If you need a particular tool when you need it, but that isn't all that often, the own-brand ****e may be just what fits the bill. |

But only end of range odd rolls of wallpaper and strange name dry batteries. Oh - and lots of bolts of various sizes and types. Last one rather strange to sell off - unless they're going to stop selling that sort of thing. -- *No I haven't stolen it , I'm just a **** driver* Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Don't even know if its national or just my local store, but worth a look if you need something. The Sheffield branch is clearing out most of its own brand (Macallister?) stuff. I bought an impact driver and angle drill, both 14V and 2 batteries each, for about £60 including the 15% discount. Seem OK to me, but I've nothing to compare with having never owned or used cordless stuff. The cases are enormous, so in the bin with them. Rob |

In my local Warehouse B&Q they have a huge section of clearance items,
including lots of power tools. Excluding the power tools, we've just bought a metric ****load of hardwood garden chairs off them (our lawnmower broke today, and we just happened to spot the offers while we were mooching - with 15% voucher of course) We got... 2 "Chichester" folding reclining chairs at £22 each 6 "Chichester" folding chairs at £24 for two ....and a rather large crank-operated grey rectangular parasol with solar lighting in the centre and all down the canopy arms for £17 :-) (only the grey one appeared to be on offer) This was from the St Helens store (Merseyside) ....and a "not reduced" Bosch 320C lawnmower - which is different to the one they have on display (no lever for the height adjustment, or flex strain relief "tag" as shown in the manual. |

Just gotta love that video where the guy stabs a hole in a leather suite and the audience go 'oooooh'. How would that goop adhere onto leather anyway? Dave. |

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "R" saying something like: Oi Dave.... Have a look at http://www.repairproducts.co.uk/index.htm Just the sort of stuff you might need sometime... "Dog Ears Tear Mender? is a convenient and effective alternative to using tape or bandages for shaping dog ears. It is safe, non-toxic, and wash-proof, staying put until removal is desired. NOTE: Ear position varies by breed and the dog's natural set, so be sure to CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL OR BREED MANUAL for proper positioning " Boggle |
