    Fair Pricing for work done?

    I'd say that you were well low on the pricing but it depends on what YOU need out of the job? We all have different expenses and overheads so know what we need to turnover a day to ensure a profit. My day rate is £250-£300 or £65 an hour and that is up in the north east in Skegvegas. Inside M25...

    Relocating to Lincoln and looking for work in the future

    How did you get on @Jay Jay? I'm in Skeg Vegas and could pass you some stuff Lincoln way as and when. Where abouts are you? Could always use a chuck for installs too. Jon

    What power tools?

    No such thing as buying cheap if it's used day in day out. If you are PAYE though you should supply your basic hand tools. They should supply everything else needed. If you are SE to them then look at the tools as an investment. Get the highest Amperage you can afford. Don't drop below 4ah...

    Van Guard Pipe Carrier

    I have the Van Guard one. (Screwfix by any chance?) Just been out and pulled mine out (oh er missus) and not a sign of moisture and I'm in Skeg Vegas with sea air, driving wind and rain and I don't drove particularly slow either. Locks are crap that you get with it but other than that it's...

    Last tool you bought, next tool you're buying?

    Can't recommend these enough. I've had a set for 12 months roughly and they are brilliant. Have the 15mm and 22mm. They also do a ratchet cutter for tight spaces. Talking of Nerrad, get a Nerrad-versa-funnel it is so bloody useful! I thought it was a gimmick but it saves PCBs, carpets, acts as...

    The thing to remember with multi tools is that whatever you are cutting needs to be secure as they oscillate. If it's loose all it does is bounce everything around and you get nowhere. I think this is why some people hate them as they don't get how to use them. Jon

    Last tool you bought, next tool you're buying?

    I was the same as you mate, I never felt the need for a multi tool. 18 months ago I bought (what I thought) was a crappy 15 quid Ryhas (sp) multi tool off flea Bay. Came with about 20 accessories. I've used it no end of times and the bugger won't die! Have put 1 new blade on the circular one...

    This looks handy

    Anyone got an old set of pocket trousers? The flappy ones at the front. Cut them off and 2 tec screws and a couple of penny washers and you have organisers anywhere. You have loops, thin pockets and wide pockets! Top tip # 2 Jon
