  1. Hi Chase,

    If you do see Donald Trump ( the last name means a fart over here by the way LOL ) tell him that comb over looks stupid, his golf course sucks and he is about as popular over here as a rattle snake in a lucky dip bag.  :)

  2. So folks if you or any of your family have been effected by pop rivet issues,or have tendonitis from constant use of a manual rivet gun. Contact Milwaukee now and help erase this blight from the life of fellow forum member and pioneering chef ( he was the first man to pop rivet salad to a bun).  :)

    Join us Brothers and Sisters,support Conductor 562 and with a strong will (and a sympathetic tool manufacturer) we can make them produce a battery powered pop rivet gun and make riveters wrist a thing of the past.  LOL  :)

     

    This has been brought to you by the British society for the protection of blokes who buy too many tools.   :)

  3. That's pretty cool. It's funny there are so many superior fasteners, but for the most part everyone uses phillips screws still. Man that's a bummer we don't even get the good Metabo stuff here guess the Germans are afraid of what we would build if we got their good tools. I had a quick question for Wayne how much cross over from metric to conventional measurements do you have in the uk? I know from watching topgear you use MPH over KPH on your roads so your not fully metric over in the uk either. I would guess fasteners are metric but what about dimensional lumber?

    In the U.K it depends how old you are and how good your eyes are on my jobs LOL Inches are bigger than millimeters :)

     

    But jokes aside, it is a bit confusing because we say 3 inch by 2 inch timber where you say it the other way round in the U.S.A.

    And we have many things still in imperial not metric.

    But Europe is slowly having it's way and the millimeter, centimeter and meter are taking over.  :(
