The satisfaction of power tools.

[Don]

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.

HUge angle grinder, cuts through metal like it were butter, and you get the bonus of huge sparks flying everywhere so you look really cool

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!

I like the H&S you practice - goggles, gloves and bare arms
Also the empty beer tin next to you

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...
