Looking to buy some Extra Deep Sockets for use on taps instead of box spanners..The fixing bolts on the taps in my house are 8mm and 10mm, so I was wondering what are the other common sizes? Trying to decided whether to buy a full set of if I only really need a couple?
Looking to get one of these for a while and just got a job that's perfect for it to save me a fat drain down on a very old property, which one do you guys who use them rate, this place has 28mm return so ideally something suitable for that. Cheers.

Armeg jaw droppers. I hears good things and I like a new toy. But both the machine screws on one of them that hold the sliding jaws wouldn't bite and stay in place - no matter how hard I tightened them. Resorted to a fibre washer.
Hopefully things will improve.

Hi,
I after opinions on which M Class dust extractor is better for coreing holes when using a dust extraction adaptor. I have narrowed it down to either the Bosch GAS35 AFC or the Metabo ASR35.

Having a brain fade, I had a boxful and now I can't find them anywhere. Seen, bought or used these.? Used for extra trunking support, no not my pants.
I need such a spanner to remove a failed IH, and to install a replacement; in a domestic hot water cylinder made by Opus (Cyprus).
I am aware that in general the distance across the flats may vary somewhat from brand to brand, despite all having 1.5" BSP threads.
In my case, both old and new IH...

I'm thinking of getting a Stud Finder, so that when I drill or nail something into a wall at home, I don't puncture any pipes, wires etc.
I heard that cheap ones aren't good, not sure if this is true.
Any recommendations would be very welcome 😉

Hi,
Hope you can help with a central heating issue. I tried turning the central heating on today but without success. The orange light that usually comes on when the heating is triggered isn't illuminating - I've tried the once, twice and fully on modes and it doesn't come on in any of these...
