Bought some LED batten lights for the garage, hopefully be a vast improvement and I shall be able to see in there ! Must also hope it acts as motivation to get back on with the weldathon !!

    Yes Anthony I have my level 3 , I used to test years ago but changed jobs and let it lapse so had to do the whole thing again. Left it too long just to get away with a refresher course !

Feeling a bit sorry for myself, managed to set myself on fire at work. Nothing like the smell of scorched hair !

    Don't get me wrong, I love snap on and I know it's overpriced but your paying for the fact that if you tools break or become faulty you get it repaired or replaced. It was a fantastic piece of engineering and I probably would buy one if it was like half the price , even then I'd think I was expensive !!
    Ps my b&q one I have at home is just approaching its 5th anniversary !

French cars aarghh, doing a favour for a mate. Can you fit me a new starter motor he says, sure I said pop round Saturday morning should only take an hour. Three hours later the new starter is on and guess what ? It's faulty. Back on with the old one . That's five hours of my day wasted. Man I was fuming. Anyway showered and clean now watching F1 . Consoling myself with pizza and beer !!
