Btw, B&Q own Screwfix. Screwfix tend to be slightly cheaper (no big stores to maintain, just a counter?).
I prefer seeking out my local independant ironmonger for tools and lots of advice. |
Me too, but there isn't one locally I know of. I have someone for misers, strummers, cutters, but the DIY tools I only have downsizer to ask.
I've re bought the Makita drill driver, as I had no complaints, a cheap angle grinder because I need it now, and a handful of hand tools from BQ. Strangely, I should have been excited this morning, with a bit of plastic and a long list, but I just got depressed at the size of the task. So I bought what I absolutely needed, and went home.
So, screwfix catalogue and hunting the web is tomorrow's job.
Now, who's got a tractor with a topper and front loader man enough to pick up round bales for sale? |
