Yesterday's tools.
Yesterday was the start of boarding the walls in the new workshop. The two ends walls are now done. Back next then front. Ceiling insulation and boarding will file that.
The Erbauer track saw from @screwfix_uk is definitely one of those tools I wished I bought earlier. The supplied tracks only extend to 1.4m, but the @evolutionpowertools_uk track at the right extends to 2.8m. Having both set up and available made fitting boards down much easier.
The 12V @boschprouk jigsaw made cutting the notches around the stud-work so easy. I love this jigsaw so much that I gave my 25y old Bosch corded jigsaw to my men's shed.
The countersink drill bit in my Bosch 18V drill was a recommendation from Mark @startmaking2022 . So much quicker to use than a drill and separate countersink. And the 4x50mm Ulti-mate screws from @phillipsscrewcompanyuk that I won at @makerscentral a couple of years ago are now gone. Definitely one of the better screws I've used.
And last but not least, it's my favourite, the @metabo_uk 12V PowerMaxx BS BL Q driver. Although I'm quite annoyed as I found out on the weekend that this form factor is no longer available! Which is a shame as I was actually looking to buy a spare before this one breaks. The new version uses the slide on batteries which makes it 200g heavier.

Love my track saw! I have the MacAllister from Screwfix, very basic, but I whacked a good @freud_tools_uk blade in it and I couldn't ask for more from it.
