More frivolous purchases, stuff you don't need..

Couldn't find my 10mm spanner anywhere, never mind I'll order a new one.......might as well get a spare as well....





I love shiny stuff!

Just letting everyone know that I wouldn't wear that if someone gave me the cap free and paid me.

What sort of hat does a cat wear these days?

I'm guessing as that's Snap on you had to take out a new mortgage?

Well yes I did get a bit carried away - I could certainly have gone for a cheaper option from elsewhere. Blooming nice to hold and use though. (i'm almost hoping something breaks down so I can use them some more!)

Snap On is such a slippery slope.... The local pusher used to make house calls to me.. Such nice fitting spanners... A breaker bar just the right length.... The pick sets.....

I'm better now. Weaned myself off with Facom and Wera. There is life after Snap On. No one needs a limited edition picnic box in ther life that much... Oh wait....

Really well actually. Using it more than I thought I would, so much so that I’ve bought some more batteries for it. (Each battery last 20-25minutes and takes an hour to charge).

£450 all in.

Camera is excellent. Follow me function is amazing. It’s by no means a ‘sports’ drone and airs on the camera side of things but it does have a sport feature and reacts really well - fairly quick also.

Also has some great features, albeit, not that useful.




Ceiling height of 300m is a little limiting but a 2km distance is great.

You have to do the Clarkson penis!

Nice, but overrated IMO.

I found out that the Exeter hip joint is made of chrome moly steel. Be great if it said Snap On on it but I'm not so sure about King Dick.

Horses for courses as they say. I love them, so much so that I just ordered a 3/8 ratchet and some deep sockets to go with them.

Does this qualify ? As I'm not a Lorenzo fan, but it's a really nice cap.

I agree, but why don't you show us the hat that's all that for the cat?

I wouldn't know what to do with all the buttons but that is cool as fk.

I have the X-DJ R1.........its like a time machine, I start playing around with it at 11pm, and after what seems like an hour later its 4am.

I'm going to suggest that if you have difficulty typing "DDJ-1000" into Google, all of those pretty buttons may be wasted on you

me too, although colour coded is even better!

couldn't find my 5mm allen key in any of the million or so sets of allen keys i own, so bought these:



then, knowing i was working in a very tight space, i also bought these:



i found the old 5mm allen when i got back from the shop, but meh to that. now eyeing up a set of wera joker spanners!

Anther KS special, my Line-us robotic drawing thingy, arrived today. App is a bit peculiar on a phone (better on tablet or PC) but it works brilliantly and is keeping the kids amused during half term.

Am I right in thinking that you draw something on your phone/tablet and it draws it on papers there by adding a completely unnecessary step and expense to simply doodling on paper......if so then your sir have totally got this thread, unlike these tools posting use stuff like hats and tools

Yup, that's pretty much it. Wife was...delighted when I unveiled it, it being only the latest in a long line of pointless crowdfunded tat

Only advantage is you can knock out multiple copies so thinking we might do Christmas cards etc. with it.

Unlike those things called photocopiers or even pressing print and asking it to print 5 copies on normal printers.

I have no idea what I'd do with a robot that can draw but that doesn't stop me wanting one. It's the very definition of this thread.
