Yup my bike torque wrench is the Lifeline (rebranded Jobsworth lol) and it's excellent too. The car torque wrench is a Halfords Pro one however.

Apparently the Nilfisk own-brand sprayer is garbage. I bought it then was redirected to this:

Only managed to get time to wash the car today but an update on this is that:

It's actually better than the Autobrite ones (same as the one you linked) as I've had that before. This uses less snow foam but in a smaller bottle yet I was able to foam the car 3 times over whereas the Autobrite's bigger bottle would empty after 1.5 coats. It has to do with the lance attaching to the high pressure wand not the high pressure one which pushes out more water. The bottle neck effect.

Very impressed.

What isn't great is that todfay my Nilfisk pressure washer decided it would die. SMelt a burning smell and suddenly power curt out mid wash!

It had a good life tbh...

Time for an upgrade to a Kranzle I think, you know it makes sense.

Pressure washer? Na going for the Nilfisk 123 on Amazon. The C115 lasted 7 years and the 123 is the same price with a few upgrades over the 115 so seems ideal :cool:

So what foam gun is that?

Interesting that it bolts onto the very end. Glad it worked out for you. Looks to work well! I actually clicked the Amazon link and realised I must have cancelled the Autobrite one. I actually got this one:

Get's good reviews

mrk · 5 Sep 2021 at 20:29

Ah I don't need all the accessories that has as have all that anyway. The 123 is £89 on Amazon so have gone for that!

Managed to get a cheap deal on a TV.

Grabbed a Philips 43PUS7555/12 for £276.25 with a discount code, down from £325.

Looks like a great little TV for the price, and being a Philips, I am sure its going to last a few years

That's a bargain! We've got a Philips TV in the bedroom, it's been really good for the 4-5 years we've had it so far.

I got it from Amazon, if you search for Paper Theatre you will find it. Check the size! Some are larger than the display case.

New sectional garage door with pedestrian door to replace an old up and over style and a new front door to match it!

We have no access to the garage except via the main garage door so this is the reason we wanted to install a pedestrian door.

Ordered at the end of May so nice to final have it installed.

Does the door still "up and over" as well? Basically is it still a garage?

It is still a garage yes but now it sort of rolls up enabling me to park up against it if needed.
