At the weekend the wife and I cut back the main shrubbery. The exercise generated a vast quantity of offcut stems, stalks and wood. So on Sunday morning we went a bought a chipper.

Feed the wood in. It sucks away. Bam. Instant smush!

Deeply satisfying. Almost as good as a really big power drill.

Got to love power tools. A man can never have too many.

Don't know if anyone remembers the TG V8 food blender...I was on set for that, and it'd be fantastic for pissing off your neighbours - was a good 30/40 feet away and was nearly deafened!

Used to love my air chisel. Health and safety banned them at work, said they were to noisy even with ear defenders on!

I bought a DeWalt drill the other week, was so torquey that when I got the bolts I was tightening up done up tight the drill stayed still and I started to revolve!

Ah yes, the week I got a decent drill, I was putting up anything and everything. I also drilled a few holes in some items that didn't need holes put in.... I event went out and bought hanging baskets just so I could drill into the brickwork outside. A drill that just seemlessly drills into bricks, that is fun.....

It's a man thing I guess.

Yup, it's like when you first use a proper SDS-Plus drill after years of pissing about with 'hammer drills' and 'masonry bits'. Hot knife, meet butter...
