Photos Latest Purchases Thread: v2.0

Yeah Business use, we've got a couple of people with the 5s already and they haven't had any issues, so took the saving over the 6. I was a little concerned but so far things seem to be OK.

As I don't really know Apple products that well I didn't even know the Configurator existed, but they're all setup individually and had a trip into the shed to have serial number laser etched to make them easier to keep track of.

Ssssshhhh she'll find out

 

This eve should be fun

 

The shed roof sprung a leak and gave my power saw and jigsaw a proper dowsing, and I borrowed a mate's Scorpion - very impressive for the money - so I bought one (with a case).

I can use it to fix the shed.

 

I bought one a couple of years ago and it's been seriously abused! but it just keeps on going. The only downside is the replacement blades are expensive (or they were when I last looked).

 

Obviously it's designed for the home user but my neighbour says his has had plenty of stick. TBH the only B&D stuff that's failed me is a grass strimmer. My cordless drill is a B&D and it's older than my teenage son.

A three pack of blades was £11 I think.

 

500 of;

 

You big drip

 

Them only 3mL

 

You could have bought one 1.5 litre pipette and been done in a fraction of the time!

 

Now that my Moto G fiasco is behind me I decided to get a Lumia 735 instead... tis a thing of beauty. Very happy!

 

Because awesome.

 

Also bought one of these a couple of weeks back, brilliant device. Got mine in the 2 for £45 deal at B&Q with a jigsaw. Made constructing the chicken run a breeze.

 

How do these Scorpion jobbies perform compared to a reciprocating saw? I've heard of them but don't know much about them, its is basically a smaller reciprocating saw?

 

Never used a reciprocating saw from any other manufacturer but basically yes.

 

Sounds good for the price then, I got a Hitachi corded model for some demo work at the Mrs. house which has been great but it was also £120 so for the DIY'er the Scorpion sounds like a good buy

 

Well, I'll be using all three blades tomorrow, weather permitting - I have to shorten a steel tube, saw some timber and jigsaw a curve in a worktop.

I'll report back.

 

I'll keep an eye out

As you may have seen from the Makita stuff I put in here - I'm a sucker for a new diy toy lol.

 

I have no illusions about it's power and capability in comparison to Makita equipment, but price is much more palatable.

 

As far as I can tell, the Scorpion is fine and good value as long as you don't want to do anything too heavy duty or precise with it.
