i popped into topps tiles to pick up a Rubi 40ltr tub bucket and free trowel for £12.
I bought the bucket to make life easier cleaning as was told it’s pretty tough.

Excellent products OLFA
yes marc,
Japanese are the maximum for the blades.
first time I bought olfa (I thought from the name that was made in Italy)
then I realized that it was japanese, so I bought.
today I cleaned some lines with hard adhesive and it is excellent.
the blade guard on top makes the blade very rigid.

I have their 100mm long arm scraper, new and old model.
It has metal bar thro middle for hammer.
Blade so sharp you can shave with them!
Although it is a shame they have a new model, the old model is far superior.
On the new model the shoulders can catch on surrounding area leaving metal scuffs.
Can be cleaned away, but inconvenient.

Got a pair of these clean boots, I was feting fed up of taking my trainers off or using plastic overshoes which rip when going to customers houses etc.
They are made of neoprene and washable so look as if they will last a while

I’ve got similar, put them in with the washing now and then to keep them clean, they last a long time

do you have to go to the intensive care unit? :)

View attachment 101622 Came today £50.00 saving every time the garage uses theirs to read a code. Was less than half that!

I just borrow one from my local garage. My car has a habit of the engine management light coming on just before the ITV (MOT) is due and it's a fail here now. I plug in and reset just before I take the car in and it stays off long enough!
It helps that I've put a lot of work his way and a mate of mine was the MD of SnapOn in the UK and gave him tools!
