Hello, I have a circular saw and need to do a smallish tiling job. I have never done this so look for advice on the web. Some people seem to say a circular saw is good enough as long as you have the right blades Others claim I should not use a circular saw and buy an angle grinder instead. Any opini...

With a bit more research on the headlight subject, it looks like I can get away with polish drill bits for about £10.

This solves my problem!

I would like to restore my motorbike headlights because I don't see much anymore... I understand I could use a "rotary polisher" to re-apply a UV protection coat at the end. My wife would like to restore some wooden furniture by sanding and polishing. Can a tool do both kind of jobs? Or do...

My (small) garage is about 60 years old, made of brick walls and asbestos roof (...) My immediate problem (I'll look at asbestos later) is that the brick work is absolutely falling apart on top of the wall above the main garage door, AND I have some water leakage along that wall. I wondered whether ...
