[QUOTE="Spud, post: 654049"] At this tims of year I start thinking about my plans for next year and look back on the good and bad bits of the last 12 months Some of the tools I bought this year have worked out to be great and some not so good and are hardly used 1.7inch grinder cup wheel and a bosch 9inch dust collection cowel for grinding out high spots in floors ,this was an excellent buy but was let down by the fact I didnt buy the correct vacuum dust collector but if you are thinking of investing in a good surface prep tool they do work very well and very quickly :thumbsup: 2.wickes wet and dry 1400w vacumm was very good value and works well for domestic use but didnt have the capacity for use with the concrete plane:thumbsdown: 3.rubi Nd 200 wet cutter 110v bought from gumtree with a new transformer for £80 another great buy and a very handy machine would i pay £400 plus for a brand new one probably not but I do use this handy little wet cutter nearly every day now :thumbsup: 4.refina 2m and 2,5m aluminium box straight edges on Jonny C recommendation were probably one of my best purchases this year they have really come in handy:thumbsup: 5.Henry hoover after buying the wickes hoover and being disappointed I was given a used Henry F.O.C which is a great little hoover perfect for domestic use but still wasnt what I needed for the concrete plane:thumbsup: 6. Stanley fatmax xl 1200mm level ,great buy and no argument just as good if not better than stabila :thumbsup: 7.rubi 10mm 45degree notched trowel ,used twice notches broken off :thumbsdown: 8.schneegans wobble notch trowel good coverage well made stainless steel trowel pricey from Diatech but good quality :thumbsup: 9.porcelain blades from Apex Grange fitted on the my wet saws and 41/2 grinders good value great cutting :thumbsup: will be rebuying when worn out 10. Last big purchase of the year was a Bosch Gas 50 vacuum cleaner which is a big piece of kit but should mean dust free grinding and polishing next year I havent used it enough to give it a rating 11.tile mate pro levelling wedges :thumbsdown: [/QUOTE]
