Homebase sale. On now.

[Old Mod]

There’s a few good bargains available at some Homebase store at the moment.
Namely Empire e70 levels at a ridiculous price. and a great hop up reduced from £50 to £20 150kg rated so suitable for site.
Oh and a radio in tradepoint.

Well done mate. I got the 2’ & 4’ and a hop up

Plus a few other things, but we don’t wanna talk about that, think I’ll frighten myself on what I’ve spent on tools in last six months.
I actually think I’m a share holder @Pro Tiler Tools now as well

No point totting it up, if you need it you need it, and you KNOW how tight I am, got a full set of stabilas delivered yesterday but those empires were too good a deal to miss makita shelves had been ravaged...only a vacume dust extractor thing and a couple of impact drivers left

Haha oh dear, you still after battery grinder?

 

[Spare Tool]

I'd love one, could really do with one that would fit the different size makita batteries I got in the impact and drill driver, not even sure what they're called, got that set from BnQ and haven't seen those paricular 18v Makita batteries anywhere else..
Unless yo can recommend something decent that comes with batteries and charger for no more than £150

 

[Rookery]

I get the feeling that Homebase are going down the tube soon. On that basis, it might be worth making your own 'wish list' and picking up a few things if they come available.

Homebase were recently taken over by Bunnings, a giant diy chain from Australia
They have a few stores around the uk now as well. Mainly in Herts

 

[Rookery]

Yes I know. I still reckon they made a bad move there.

So what’s with the batteries then Andy, you got the black and white ones then?

 

[Old Mod]

Maybe, but it’s a store I would never use before. I find myself in there quite regularly now, their stock is far better than it ever was.

 

[Spare Tool]

Yeah that's the ones, don't fit in my radio either

[Spare Tool]

Think I really need to contact makita to see what's available to use with these batteries
