[QUOTE="phil d, post: 482398, member: 27126"] If you stay with that you'll do ok, I remember my last apprentice, I took him around car boot sales and various other places to buy secondhand tools when he was starting off. He got lots of stuff of an old bloke who'd retired and was selling up, I remember him letting him have his Makita drill for £20, because he was an apprentice starting out. He's doing very well now, fully qualified and got a decent job with a good firm, he's still got a lot of his old tools he started off with, and some nice new ones, but he doesn't rush into buying stuff and does his research first.Like you, he asks other tradesmen, that way you get a proper review, just because an advert says something is good doesn't mean it is, just ask most of the people who bought one of those CK armoured cable strippers, I did, and I went rapidly back to the old way. lol [/QUOTE]
