    I was nearly going for one, that has just sent me back to carbon again. disgraceful in my opinion looking at that.

    Dewalt Carbon stapler

    Don't get the Rapid 7.2 it's not powerful enough to go though beads only between the gaps, had to buy mini mesh beads for it to work as I wanted. can anyone tell me if the Milwaukee 12v fires 15 brads or 12 staples through the metal itself on standard skim beads ??

    Best radio on site

    Waaaaay to much bass comes from the Makita, so much I threw it away. Got a Dewalt Tstack to replace it and is far far better. it also charges the battery whilst its plugged into the mains.

    Anyone tried the new plaster in B&Q 'Make Good' (seen it in other places too) I was Impressed

    Their Bonding equivalent is very good. (Make good Bonding) White in colour. Mixes good, spreads well and sets in 45 mins. It much less corse than BG Bonding. I used it on exmet under the treads on loft stairs and it troweled up with no need for skim. I plan to use it from now on for them.

    Weighing up a screw gun

    I'm replacing my Dewalt 12v XR2 screwgun. There nothing wrong with it, I just think life would be easier with a collated one. I don't do "real" site work any more, only builder extension/lofts & domestic stuff. So It wouldn't be used loads. Here are my choices & why I have made them...

    Hi guys Starting a job tomorrow where browning has been hacked off 1mtr high due to flood damage. it has dried out and Ive been asked to float over with dri coat as the customer wants some thing more than hardwall to replace. It does say on the dricoat bag NOT to use over residues of gypsum...
