They are so good, I generally hire one but they cut the time down.
If you can get a self feeding screw gun with the extension, you can cut the fixing time to a third because it is si quick and you dont need to keep shifting planks and ladders to get all round the room.

I purchased a 160A DC TIG/Stick & 40A plasma cutter about 5 years ago to help me build one of these 36' steel boats:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh9JYXMxa0o (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh9JYXMxa0o)

Loved it! (Still do). AC would be nice for Aluminium welding, but otherwise great.

That was when we were living in Canada ... never did finish the boat, had a kid and moved back to Oz.

Had to leave my Argon bottle back there - damn shame you have to rent them here (although I see that there's now someone in Sydney who sells and refills 'em).

Post by: harvs on July 26, 2011, 12:16:42 AM: I recently needed to replace the Velcro pad on my Bosch green series random or Italy sander. Stupid machine had a tendency to chop out the plastic lugs on the back of the Velcro pads. Anyway I found a Bosch blue series ros from my local Crime converters. It looks as though is has been used once. And it was only $50 more than a new pad. I also picked up a tti socket set they were clearing out. Upto 32mm met +at only $89. Seems ok to.
Nicer feel than my old Sidcrome set
