Right in the middle of using it. I’ve used it lightly for about 13 months. It jammed up and would just “click” while other times it would turn “gravely” I took it apart thinking something broke or was getting jammed in the reduction gear. Nope… gears were fine. It was the motor. Black gritty magnet bits stuck to the outer magnets. I’d guess they are inside also causing the intermittent locking or grave feeling. Now, what to do? Test the Dewalt 3 year limited warranty or just buy a new bare tool for $99… (or both)

Hi- I was on here ages ago asking a few questions and got some great advice - I now need your help again. I previously wanted to re-train and start up as a Self Employed Sparks but was wary about going in the deep end, I am instead re-starting my old Plumbing business and will soon need some Electrical training. I have got the business going and it's starting to pick up although I am still part time self employed alongside my main IT job. I plan to jump into full time self employed before xmas. Sooner or later I will need to be able to self certify Electrical work so am looking at Part P courses followed by the 17th. I have some practical experience and have picked up some regs and theory - will the 5 day EAL Part P be enough? Who is the best competent persons scheme and how hard are the assessments? I also was wondering what limitations I will have after doing the Defined Part P, is it easy to change this to Full scope later on? When I'm up and running my goal is to offer Domestic Plumbing (without Gas) and Electrical services, I don't want to be turning Electrical work down because I'm not allowed to do it - but can wire in C/H and Showers. Thanks in advance!

Any insights or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.

Hey everyone. I'm in the process of purchasing a new property, and as part of the due diligence, I've arranged for a building inspection to be conducted. However, I'm not entirely sure what to expect from this process. Could anyone who has experience with building inspections shed some light on what typically happens during these inspections? What are the key areas that inspectors focus on, and are there any red flags I should be particularly vigilant about? Additionally, how long does a typical building inspection take, and should I plan to be present during the inspection?

Hello. I have a roof valley that leaks quite badly and would love some advice on fixing this as I plan to have a go myself. Where is the water likely to be coming from and will it help if I replacve the felt underneath on that section. Any advice would be most grateful. Thanks

Hey. tried buying a new battery since having issues with my second-hand one, however, the shipping service I was using won’t send lithium batteries overseas. so I need the returns address for Fairphone or a method of sending this item internationally. Could anyone help, either way?

At work I need to wear safety boots, all properly rated to recognised standard. Years of cheap ones made for people with exceptionally wide feet made me shop around. I saw a company called Grisport made a really widely used safety boot (coca cola in Europe and car manufacturers) that was getting good reviews. Plus Grisport is an Italian hiking boot manufacturer I first heard of for hiking boots. I got them, own money because work only buy £25 boots the tight wads! Initially they felt great but over the last 6+ months I've been getting worse sore instep under the foot and an increasingly painful outer toes on left foot. Length and width feels good but this pain is like when you first stub your bare foot hard! Since the boot has plenty of room I thought it was my out of work time outdoor trainers, salomon x ultra 3, third pair of x ultra. I bought new shoes with a roomier toe area. However since I took a few days off a month or so ago during which my painful toes got better I now know it's my worm boots. Are they salvageable? If not anybody know a good safety boot that's as conformable and hiking boot like as possible? My foot size/shape is narrow heel, average instep width and high arches.

Hi, Yesterday we had a flash flood in the factory caused by a sudden downpour and defective drainage by the valley guttering, as this was near to electrical equipment and there was a signifigant amount of water on the floor and adjoining wall I instructed the operators to vacate the vacinity until it was deemed safe for the clean up to begin. This has been reported internaly and an action plan to remedy the situation is being put together. In the mean time I am wondering what duty, if any, can be placed on the landlord to rectify this issue. Is the following section of HASWA relevant: Section 4 Anyone who has, to any extent, control of premises (mainly landlords having control of common areas) must ensure that they are safe, are provided with safe access and egress and that plant or substances provided for use and that any plant or substances provided for use within the premises are safe and without risks to health so far is reasonably practicable Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Hello. I'm working on a master bath remodel. Does anyone on the forum have any experience with the quality or lack of quality of the products produced by the American Bath Factory? I've been looking for a complete shower unit and they seem to have a larger unit like I've been looking for. I just don't have any information about their product quality or durability. Y'all please chime in with any information you can provide.
