Tool theft

Re:

Almost certainly will be offered to some of the cash converter type shops in the town.
 
Horror :shock:
Well been said but i hope they get the thieving sob or that he shoots himself with the nailgun.

Nasty to lose tools, especially a new saw, and not even had a go :cry:

That said, it is one of those non riving knife affairs :? A scary proposition on a kickback, and more likely :?
I got a new triton one,same blade size and it also has no riving knife, and that was the reason i sold it straight on. Didnt even use it.



Best of luck :)
 
Re:

When the got the replacement saw out and started using it,it must have took me half the day before I even noticed it didn't have a riving knife! It was cutting that well(brand new blade in soaking wet 9x2 roof joists!)
As with most tools, I firmly believe that you get what you pay for, I bought a cheap circular saw once to cut a door down.never used it again.
 
The bosch pro stuff is ok. Not top end but trade for sure.

On the strength of a couple sent to my old workshop by bosch for try outs, i went for their jigsaw.

Considerably less than the festool i was looking at but still very good :?


Were you insured ?

Re:

Na, you want black and decker jigsaw like mine, the on but is posituoned on the handle so when you pick it up, inevitably you turn it on, ******* dangerous if you ask me, ok, so b and d saved a few pence on not having an interlock switch but you need to be a dick end of the highest calibre to put the switch where it is.
 
Re:

I quite like the Bosch stuff,pretty sturdy and reasonably priced.I would've got a full cordless setup from them but via a massive stroke of luck I got a 6 piece Dewalt kit instead! (And a dab radio/charger)

I really like the festool stuff but i think some of the ancillaries are a bit on the steep side.(mind you it's not exactly cheap to begin with)

My home insurance wouldn't cover it as the car wasn't on my the property. :facepalm: I did once try to get a quote to cover my tools and it was more than they all cost to buy.

Ah yes black and decker! That bastion of quality over gimmickry................although I do seem to recall that they are (or were) the parent company of true temper.
