Just a heads-up that Lidl have a mains nibbler on offer from next
Thursday. Might suit those with no compressed air supply, like me. I have an ancient Hitachi one which cost and arm an a leg used - and this is the first budget priced one I've seen. -- *Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things.

So you need to be sure you can get replacements. |

Was once thinking if I had a black cat with a white patch on the the head, "diode" would be a nice name - or even "cathode" I like that. Our current cats are called Jaffa, Josie and Jenna (there is a bit of a theme going on here). Jaffa is a ginger tom, sometimes called Jaffa Cake; Josie often sits for hours very upright and totally unmoving, so she is also known as Pot Cat; while Jenna is a *large* cat (both naturally large and a total glutton - 8.5kg) and is known as Fat Cat. |

My Hitachi cost me 150 used many years ago. They're rather limited production compared to most power tools. They're most used for cutting car bodywork, and most who do that would have a compressed air one. -- *Work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt.

Never broken one on the Hitachi. Perhaps they come in different sizes? There is quite a bit of waste with it. -- *ATHEISM IS A NON-PROPHET ORGANIZATION.
