| Re: Hand tools .... A to Z.......... FLOORING SAW...These tend not to be found in the tool kit of most DIY people as it is somewhat of a specialist saw being used only to cut across floorboards so that they can be lifted. The edge is curved, enabling a cut to be made across a board at the centre of a joist. When the blade has penetrated, the straight part comes into use, the end of the saw being narrow enough to enable it to enter a short cut. | |

| Re: Hand tools .... A to Z.......... FLAME GUN.. is the most effective form of organic weed control available! This flame gun destroys weeds with a searing 2000 degrees Fahrenheit blast which when directed at the base of weeds stops the plants sap rising. Leaving the weeds to dry for a few days, a second gunning incinerates all top growth and weed seeds, leaving a potash rich residue. The Flame Gun not only destroys weeds but leaves the ground pure, sweet and free from seeds and harmful bacteria - perfect for future planting.Also useful for mealting snow and ice from drives and pathways during Winter months. | "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten"
