Hand Tools Deals & Offers

Lol

Thanks OP. Pefect for making kindling.

Rope and Axe - check, just need the black bags now!

Sure, or you can just use other side like rest of people.

At that price probably a nylon gearbox, but as others have said 2 year guarantee can't be bad.

I've never heard of them, but with a 2 year guarantee and if you just have a few jobs to do, I dont think you can go wrong with it. However, I am pretty sure that the included bits will be well below par, if you have a hole that you just cant mess up, I'd consider getting better bits, bosch are normally affordable and decent quality.

Yes Perfect for odd jobs Powerful too

Hi. Would you recommend this for a beginner like me? Just for odd jobs around the house? Thanks

:) (y)

This doesn’t really seem to be a deal as this is the going price everywhere.. however, this site sells it cheaper.. £35.94.. https://www.lawson-his.co.uk/bosch-easyimpact-550-impact-drill-550w-104792?gclid=CjwKCAjw_YPnBRBREiwAIP6TJ8t5eRn1iSTVGYZPVz5JFJj3z1tJDGGZvuzxJYLBCOCjhsGAC-qUXhoCdp8QAvD_BwE

What I ended up with was "Hitachi DH24PX 730w sds plus" + a keyed chuck sds adaptor to increase my choice of bits. I paid £80,and £5 respectively. Happy with it but not used it much. Some DIY projects are on hold

Something like this....? Bosch Professional GBH 2-26 Corded 240 V Rotary Hammer Drill with SDS Plus https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B072J3KXDV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_9ux4CbBV4FTXC

Bosch Blue sds

Any recommendations?

These are rubbish . No plumber in the trade would use one . I use a box spanner for my immersion elements and I change one a fortnight.

Sometimes the immersion heater last longer than the copper tank, I replaced my leaky copper tank two months ago and immersion heater still work, its being use every day for over 10 years. Definitely not use often unless you are a plumber.

Thrilling

I'm not knocking free. Free is good. But I had major problems with undoing an immersion heater, and nearly damaged the tank using an inferior spanner (replacing the tank would have been expensive) I bought a heavy cast iron spanner from Amazon for around £20 and it did the job like magic. Your choice.

Ideal for kids goody bags after parties, wedding favours, and weighing down helium balloons lol Wonder if they can do free delivery? ;)

Only 2 in stock in the whole country one in each of the 2 stores.

Almost as bad as tescos..

I was on an oilrig in the North Sea yesterday, they had 100 on sale in the concessionary, I bought 99 for eBay so there is one left. Best get there quick because there a cruise ship full of budget mechanics heading out there now.

Wickes doing what it does best. Putting up fake deals to get people into their stores. Pathetic.

willing to travel 600Miles from london, please let me know if you know where

The orange and black version is on Amazon for this price just now as a lightening deal

I got one for 12.60 when on offer earlier in the week... My electric screwdriver didnt work so they sent me another... The 2nd doesnt work either, it wont charge like the first one. Maybe I'm unlucky, but it makes me have doubts about this package/brand.

Seems like it was £12.60 a few days ago.

What you talking about mate it's on sale directly by vonhaus. I just saw it last time for 12 quid and couldn't get one so put in my watch list...and picked one up for 20 today.

So Ali_Shah you thought that you would drum up a bit of business as you can't shift them @ £20? how's the new sales role going? ;) (lol)

works for me thanks (y)

voucher has run out.

Just what I need for my Saw re-enactment weekend! (y) 😷 :|

thank you! :)

(y)

Thank you ZanyAngel (y) also have a this channel one for £4 https://www.homebase.co.uk/kango-kcph22-sds-plus-hollow-chisel_p389605

Just what I was looking for!

Oh Belladonna, surely not. ;)

(highfive)

300mm is seriously small for a bolt cropper. Will probably work on small padlocks. I bought a cheap set from Aldi for not much more (though they're probably more like 450mm). When I lost the key for a small but high quality padlock I dragged them out not expecting much luck - they went through the shackle as though it wasn't there.

(lol)

CCTV or it did not happen.

I guess that’s the thing. I needed something for pretty much a one off job and unlikely to use it regularly. It did what was required of it so hopefully someone will benefit too

Good deal, anyone have a link to a cheap balaclava and gloves?

true, cordless stuff more of a gimmick for me as most stuff I do is inside, just outside garage so power not and issue, unless I consider a career in nicking mopeds...

Same here for Ferrex... But they will be much more powerful. I tend to only consider lower voltage tools if I need portability, light usage, or as a secondary backup/quick swap.

Voted hot

best tool I own is a B&D powerfile, on my 4th one! :) bit miffed really as I've just bought the aldi ferrex grinder and impact plus batteries... ...

looks like there's a 4amp battery for £14.99 too....

Poor quality tool. I regret after bought it last month. You get what you pay for

(lol) (party) (lol)

Doubt they'll be good for a year.

Thanks for your feedback

No worries. Thanks.

Eye see what you did with that pun

Bought this to replace my HDD with a new SSD in my laptop, way cheaper than anything I could find on Amazon

Use a pair of Stilsons to grip the screwdriver and give you more leverage

yes, ideal

Does anyone if these are suitable for eyeglass screws?

If you buy this for coffee you may aswell just get some Mellow Turds.

sorry you had that experience. Argos have a 12 month guarantee period, keep your receipt and return for a refund. (y)

I had one of these. Worked great for a while but the on off switch failed. Looking for a good alternative.

I've had this grinder for two years it's fab!

yes, you would be able to do that (y)

Glad you found the deal good for you. Thanks for the feedback @Saalb4ch :)

Thanks @tarryboy (y)

Lidl brand is usually quite good, if previous tools are anything to go by, and if I remember correctly they come with a 3 year guarantee. I stand to be corrected, if I'm wrong.

Just collected today!! Great bit of kit for a tenner!!!

What brand are they? and thanks for adding that info @Euclid :)

Hehe

Don't, they'll be shocked by the step up in story telling

Good story, might tell it to the kids (annoyed)

(y)

Looks at deal Thinks I don't need this Remember current multi bit is degrading Adds to basket

I've had one of these and they're rubbish; very plasticy and the ballbearing on the ratchet mechanism comes out rendering it useless.

Same price at BnQ

Well I got an email to say it was ready then went in store to find it wasn't! The manager then rang me this morning to say 3 click & collect items had been reported as not being delivered! She left a voice message at lunch time saying to expect a refund which I received 10 minutes later!

Why buy the one from Gearbest for £3.50 when you can get this one straight away and surely a better brand? Also, in case of problems, no hassle to return it. Voted hot!

Buy local and keep people in jobs.

Stanley STHT070885 Multibit Screwdriver Set, 22.8x 7.6x 5cm (34 Pieces) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00DY1Y22Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9qx1CbVFCH7GE

Have you got a link? Can't find it but would much rather buy from amazon.

...or from AliExpress for a lower price. Also, I've never had a problem with anything from China and buy quite a lot from there. Usually I think in the opposite way to you, I don't know why anyone wastes their time buying cheap stuff from the UK when they can get it cheaper from Ali but just wait a couple of weeks more.

You can buy this from poundland for £1 without extension rod in different packaging in red

Problem with these multi-bit sets is that you can't access screws which are recessed in holes that are longer than the bit itself. I find that happens frequently enough to make it worth investing in normal screwdrivers which don't have the same issue. I know it's totally the other end of the price spectrum, but if you want to buy a once-in-a-lifetime set of screwdrivers, I can strongly recommend the Wera Kraftform Big Set. All the screwdrivers you'll ever need, for less than the price of a dinner for two (your loved one will understand).

Great little kit . bought from aliexpress a few months ago for £2.60

My daughter bought a set in the poundshop the other day...and.....you guessed it......for £1, but possibly won't undo any fixing that's more than finger tight................. :(
