Totally agree, no need to drop the board anymore to cut to size just scribe in place and use a cordless multi tool with a broad blade.

I actually got excited when I seen the title toolbox’s. What a let down.

Both not worth buying in my opinion. The only advantages place for the tape is on velux windows, but It’s over priced. Bars are pointless props smaller jobs boardlifter big jobs.

Agree but when it’s a patch job or a small mix then it’s a no brainer.

Half time works a treat.

Think you might have went straight over light switch, I can see it slightly but that’s nit picking

Yes it’s not the best!! Easy fix if you sand down the effected areas. Obviously sand the thick of it off first with a courser grit then finish off with a finer grit.

Not sure if you mean yellow feed and black feed rather than handles? But if that’s the case yellow one is first generation and black is second generation. I’ve got the first generation which had problems sticking (replaced via warranty) Still sticks every so often more with longer screws. You...

Agree that some are substandard but a lot of the tenants are lazy thick T***s that dry laundry on rads with widows closed (no ventilation) Also never clean on a regular basis.

If the water is coming inside via the lintel/steels that means that a cavity tray wasn’t installed which should have been under today’s regs. Having said that a rendered wall would have prevented the driving rain from penetrating into the cavity. Without an inspection from a competent person...
