Ha - you must have been looking over my shoulder, the houses across the field even heard the swearingLike broken off in place making it not possible to drill out tidy.
A stud/wire finder from Screwfix, yellow and black, can't remember the make. Stanley maybe, ironically!
Never easy to use, unlike my other old one that looks like a small, black electric iron. Sadly in the other country.
Worked sort of for a bit, didn't touch it for a year.
Got it out, shoved a batt in it, it wouldn't even turn on. And they are so feckin expensive. Never replaced it.

That's posh.Amazing all this Al-ko talk. I've got one of these arriving tomorrow...have wanted a manual push cylinder mower for years and this should be fun for the upper lawn. They've come on in leaps and bounds over the past years. No more excessively heavy cylinder crates...

It looks fun, well built and has great reviews. I'll report back after first cut...after yesterday's all day deluge it'll take a week before the grass has dried out.
eta - it also does this which is a great design

Same here, nearly 2inches of water in the garden and surrounding fields. I've a submersible pump in the manifold tank for the septic tank. Percolation area can't cope with this amount of rain so needs a helping hand into the ditch.

Heavy rains can be a real problem. Here, the area and fields are very clayey. Fields on other side of lane are higher than the lane/houses and we see a mass of water running off the fields onto the lane. Luckily the houses have good drainage underneath passing through to the rear garden onto the copse & fields behind. A neighbours house sits lower than chezv8250...they were flooded out some years back yet we have no rivers within a 1 mile radius! Water, it's an amazing thing...

Tecumseh went bust, thankfully. Bloody awful engines! Honda every time for me thank you.
Easy-out refers to the funds needed to replace with something decent!

I bought a
Bought a Halfords 1/2” drive socket set about 20 years ago. Ratchet failed y’day changing hub drive flanges on the Defender. My local Halfords replaced it under warranty this morning no questions asked. Great service.
