TAS pangs coming on

Timbuck · Apr 9, 2013

Having extended the workshop to make more space..I swore on the "Holy Ukulele" that I would not ever purchase any more tools...But! since then I bought a new 3Kw Fan heater, A Workshop Burgler alarm, An electric bending iron, and two saws from Stewmac

I must learn to controll myself

I can agree with 2 saws, but the other stuff?

I'm workin on a two roller, used and broken thickness sander. It should be great if I can get it goin. BUT, what I really want is the Performax/Jet 16-32. The list goes on from there, on and on TAS

Only buying 5 things when you have a new extension to your workshop IS controlling yourself! So pat yourself on your back Ken - way to restrain!

I've done it again

...I was out last night at Tesco's having a browse around the Wine Department looking for a nice 14% Argentinian Red....on the way back to the checkout..I passed the DIY section and spotted a corded Hand Drill...710 Watts ...1/2" chuck ...variable speed controll .. Reversable switch ...Percussion impact option.. C/W a set of drills for steel, wood. and masonary..Only $32.13 ...I had a Tesco discount voucher for £5 = to $7.65 so it came to only $24.48

Bargain! so I had to have it! :iwant:Can be seen here http://www.tesco.com/direct/tesco-710w-corded-impact-drill-idr710s12/100-6028.prd

I love this place. Learning all kinds of new words.
Before this forum, I thought there was only GAS.
Now I see there's - UAS - and now - TAS.

The only negatives in the product review section mainly deal with the chuck. I mean, for £21 who would complain that a keyed chuck is outdated? I cannot stand keyless chucks. I want control!

Anyway!..Here's a quick video of the Tesco drill in use "the chuck works fine for me"

I compared it to my Makita 18 Volt battery drill.

You can never have too many drills

You are to be commended. You lasted over a WHOLE month since posting the following "I must not buy any more gear.....I must not buy any more gear....."

I personally can understand about the drill purchase. I showed my wife a quote from a woodworking magazine recently that stated "You can never have too many drills". Words of wisdom I tell you

I decided that the one new tool I could not do without Is another Parrot Vice..I have one already that is dedicated to making the string gauges and it gets grease and gunge on it so it's best to keep it away from the wood working.....So I ordered a new one from Axminster tools...while ordering it online the computer crashed

and I had to start ordering again...When I went to the checkout page I realised that I'd made a mistake and somehow ordered two

..I was going to cancel one of them..Then I thought Oh!:wtf: the other will come in handy for something... so now I've got two on the way

You are going to have the largest flock of parrot vises in captivity. Careful - if they start breeding you may find yourself in need of another extension
