Guaranteed. Shirley every bloke homeowner has at least basic toolkit?
May 19May 19 The day before we left our son’s house in Sydney, he had a toilet blockage. Nothing messy, just slow draining after flushing. I said I’d sort it, just need the right tool. Off I went to the Mitre 10 store in Sydney centre and arranged to meet them all for coffee on Circular Quay. When I got it out of the bag to show them there was a scramble by them all to put it back!😊

May 19May 19 I have a daft habit of buying tools to do one specific job, then never using them again. I always think "Surely I've got every tool I could possibly ever need now?", then a few days later I'm in screwfix collecting a set of offset spanners or a pipe cutter or some other shite.

I now have three pipe cutters, as each time I have needed to work on some copper pipe, I have been unable to find mine. Once I have bought a new one, done the job, I then put the new one away, so as I know where it is in the future. I put it in my plumbing box, next to the other pipe cutters that I was unable to find barely hours ago.

But now all my tools are now in drawers in a workbench. Next step is to go full wanker and get some of that shadow foam

I find stuff I long forgot about, next I'll send a pic of my tool shed... only I can find stuff in there
May 19May 19 My tool supplies are growing as my dad's are decreasing. Every time he pops round to help with some DIY task he leaves something behind.
May 19May 19 I’ve still got some spanner’s that belonged to my grandad. Doubt I’ll ever use them because they are all BSW (Whitworth)
May 19May 19 There's a house clean with the best man shed/garage you'll ever see. It's got everything from a vice to labelled drawers full of screws and fixings. He must fuckin really hate his wife. I know I do.

May 20May 20 This is what happens when you attempt to fit new brake hoses to 30 year old worn and pitted pipes, piece of piss? Edited May 20May 20 by Dimron
