driver, I just bought the Bosch IXO cordless model and it is deffo fab.

Small and powerful, but with suitably impressive girth and a nice comfy grip. It should be useful in hard to get at places. £28 at B&Q. Lithium-ion battery (no memory effect) which is nice too.

There. A real, proper bloke conversation.

Bear, wmf, hd, dc - do any of you have this fine beast ?

dont have that one, have the black and decker one which does the job just as good

I agree with all the other women on here, why just the men?
I have a whole cupboard full of tools which I use (would be a shed, but live in a flat). I do most of the diy, mainly because if I waited for dp to do it, well, it would never get done!!

anorak · 07/07/2006 14:28

Aaargh! A piece of cheesecake that does DIY!

Oh well I suppose anoraks owning tools is a bit off the wall really.

desperateSCOUSEwife · 07/07/2006 14:30

cheesecake couldnt of said it better myself

I do all the diy too and love it

iamapieceofcheesecake · 07/07/2006 14:31

Yes anorak, it can get a little messy....

iamapieceofcheesecake · 07/07/2006 14:32

Ooh yes desperateSCOUSEwife, forgot to mention that I do actually enjoy it, it's not because I am being forced to do it. It makes me feel special (especially when dp comments on what a good job i've done....)

desperateSCOUSEwife · 07/07/2006 14:36

nah cheesecake i dont wait for the comments off him
I like it when family and friends come over and say
ooh scousesdh havent you done a good job

I correct them and say ooh that was me who did that
and they give him you know that belittled look
only joking, I do it whilst he works

Cutting in around glazing is the devil's work. Junctions of walls with ceilings are OK though. Screwfix and B&Q seem to always have cheapish strimmers but I don't know which models are supposed to be any good.

Can do that too.

God I'm a show-off today

anorak · 07/07/2006 14:51

Don't wanna find out desperate!

HappyDaddy · 07/07/2006 15:30

hub, that does look a tasty tool. shame it's got some smiley bird advertising it, she's probably holding it upside down too.

I don't really know all the different types of tools but I'll happily carry your washing machines out into the garden for you. If you need some heavy lifting that is.

You do that then, HD, I've got a dodgy back from too many years performing for hours on end in the ahem video industry.
