Treated myself to one of these cordless screwdrivers today from the Screwfix counter in Tunbridge Wells: Yes I know, could have got it cheaper on the web, but couldn't wait...
It made kitchen disassembly today very pleasant and much easier to do single handed.
The Fein proved a lifesaver too when taking out a corner cupboard by the sink as I need to leave the sink in for now for coffee and cleaning up. So I had to make some fairly awkward cuts in the worktop. Jigsaw with a broken off blade did the long stretch more quickly, and the Fein did the impossibly difficult bit at the back.
Looking at the water pipes I need to cut off and disconnect soon, looks like a Fein job too as there's not enough room to swing even a compact pipe cutter on some of them... Definitely no room for a hacksaw either.
This is what I like about doing a big job - no quandry about buying fancy tools. I'd never justify all these nice things for the odd spot of DIY.
I remember the old days when my father would curse, and get the hammer and chisel out and spend 2 days doing something like this that I can sort in less than an hour with the right equipment :) How did people survive?
Cheers
