Impact Drivers

[Bob Mannix]

Presumably not powered ones, so you would object to the current powered jigsaws being called "jigsaws" (or would have, in the 1950's) as if you went into a shop, you might get the wrong one?

The message from Rob Morley contains these words:

Just for the record my Dexion racking has clearance holes you put screws though and retain with nuts.

[Mark]

You're having a laugh aren't you, comparing a few shelves with 5000sq ft of office partitioning. Give my strength !!!

Rumour has it that that is what the smiley is meant to indicate.

I thought about comparing it to 500 feet of dry stone walling but that doesn't require any power tools at all and took much much longer.

Why? You don't need it using all those modern power tools.

Naw, it just means he's the chief tosser :-)

Bloody speel chickers :-)

Of all the posters on this ng, the only one I consider talks b**locks is drivel. The rest are fantastic.

ps did I spell anything wrong in this post? ;-)

[Rob Morley]

Doesn't it all?

You seem to come across as just another usenet jobsworth that has problems when more then one tool has the same or similar name and differing function, gets confused and then wants to have an argument about it. Im well aware that Impact Drivers were originally tools you whacked on the end, now we have cordless impact Drivers that perform a completely different function. Get over it and grow up, and FWIW i still cant find a Drill/Driver or any common building tools on snap-on site you don't seem to be able to differentiate between engineering and construction tools, also I haven't seen *cladding* mentioned anywhere in this thread apart from your post.

HAND.

The message from Rob Morley contains these words:

No idea. It was just that your original comment implied (to me at least) a threaded hole or a captive nut to screw into.

[Bob Eager]

It's spelled 'spiel' -- isn't it? :-))

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Obviously you never had a proper impact driver. Which just backs up the idea that all you do is talk, not do.

[Rob Morley]

I should probably have said "holes to screw through" ...

[John Rumm]

It does seem to vary between branches as well I have noticed. I bought some sawn 4x2" from the Chelmsford branch a few weeks back - only about a third of the bits they had on display were anything close straight enough for practical use. I went to the Rayleigh branch today and out of curiosity had a look at the timber and was surprised to find that about

80% of it was ok.

I expect the shops with higher throughput of stuff seem to get better quality stock (or failing that it has just had less time sat on display to warp!)

[Andy Hall]

Goodness knows. I suspect that they don't have good enough (any?) quality checking.

I saw several pallets of CLS from Stora Enso (major Finnish producer) in B&Q a few weeks ago and picked out a few bits just to look at and put back. All of those were OK.

What was it, a pencil?

[Huge]

Modern bullshit PC-speak for "The Boss".

[Chris Bacon]

Have you never ever used it, or is it that you just haven't a clue how?

[Doctor Drivel]

A clue now? That implies he had one at some time, which has never been the case.
