i find a 4 inch nail works much better than a 13 amp fuse

I favour an m6 bolt with the head cut off, but that’s cause I don’t have nails.

Philistines, that sounds a right bodge to me ....... two neutral pins is a more elegant solution

Anyone want to take a guess?
A mate just sent this to me - he doesn't know either!

A screwdriver with a very specific handle? Obviously bent into place by someone who knows what they are doing for a very good reason.

Don't complain - suggest what's better
Scrails - Don't know if everyone else already knows about these, but new to me.
Screws that you use in your Paslode nailer (or lots of other nailers).
Ideal for fast fixing where you want to take it apart again later without having to pry it apart.
Pack arrived today and they do what they say. As long as you set the depth right so the head doesn't disappear they are easy to get out using a torox bit. Will save me a lot of time and faffing arround with boxes of screws spilling in the sand.

I thought this may as well go here as probably not worth its own thread and it's kind of tool related
Is there a perfect toolbox
I see all these fancy things for plumbers sparkys and chippies but nothing to suit this kind of work
Currently my pickup is littered with buckets for different jobs from hedge cutting to concreting, they fall over constantly are really disorganised and really inefficient use of space
I don't want anything expensive as it's probably not going to have the longest life expectancy
I see hultafors do a specific tool bucket that's square, has anyone tried it ?? Or is there a better alternative

have a similar 'bar' for undoing and pulling the flywheel off the Mountfield's Briggs an' Scrap'em ..... no chance without it and for some reason spiders love the points in there ... regular job ... evicting the lil bar stewards
Stick a Magnetron electronic coil on it ( without having to remove the flywheel) and never have to disturb the spiders ever again.

I keep my battery power tools in Stanley fat ax boxes like these. Easy to lift out and also pretty strong if you need a step-up.

Thanks I've seen the rigid style ones and really like the idea but not sure of the durability match the price tag
The euro boxes look ideal never realized they could be had with lids and won't be as upsetting when I drop /break /run over one
