Apparently Gas, you replaced your Nerrad wheels with Monument ones. Wrong width buddy. Buy the right ones next time and you'll be fine.....you'll see.

I have had two problems with rothenberger tools before, each time I have emailed rothenberger & they have sent replacement parts in the post free of charge! Excellent company to deal with! I also got a free goodie bag of flux, permanent pens, laco heat repair epoxy sticks & barrier heat spray!!

Nerrad sent me two new bloody wheels for my pipe slices & both still spiralled!!! Grr

Rothenberger probably sent you all that gear thinking that this guy needs all the help he can get ;-)

Same here Steve. Its hard to get a decent pencil these days which just reminded me to lay a couple out for the morning

Ha ha, we were just talking yesterday about how rubbish they are. Just as you get a decent point on it the lead drops out!

Put pressure on the tip and it comes out the back.

Get a screw & screw it in the back of the pencil a few threads to stop the lead pushing up inside the pencil. Seen a builder do that.

My best tool I feel is the one that does the impossible - my Fein multi tool. Great for floorboards on top of joists or up to skirtings, or solid backs of kitchen units, plywooded stud walls, etc. Nothing else can do the same.
Worst tool was probably a Nutool rotary hammer drill. Piece of junk that stopped hammering.

i love my knipex cobras.
i also love my recip saw, its like a awesome saw/light saber combination.good fun.

i detest pointless tools (i dont own any) such as silicone cartridge openers, olive removers etc.

worst tool i own, normal channel lock grips, wera screwdrivers (great quality but somehow always seem either too big or too small for the screw.

They the black and yellow ones? Normally buy from supermarket

I normally buy my pencils from the pound shop. It doesn't matter if they only last a day as I usually lose them in a few hours! I even cut them in half so they last longer.
