Isn't the Scottish summer and winter the same amount of wind and rain, just marginally warmer in the summer? 

Plus no nighttime in the summer

Do any of you guys have one of these?

Are they any good?

Not that model.

Thinking about the brushless motor ones

Maybe 2 in a couple years with climate change

Aye, well in the eighties they confidently told us that we'd be harvesting Ayrshire grapes right now and selling crates of Chateau Sorn all over the world.

Perhaps they got it wrong ?

I have one, and I have to be honest, I barely use it. I have the Milwaukee M12 version. 

They seem like the best idea ever, and they are when it comes to working on cars where there is more space to get them in places. But on bikes, I find I just stick to the regular manual socket sets.

That's why they make a long reach thin one for limited space, if you can get a ratchet in you can get the thin one in.

Want 20 quid for it?

It's the actual head of the device which I find most obstructive due to the internal mechanism driving the ratchet. Mine isn't the short reach version, it's a slightly longer length, and I just found myself regularly switching between the hand tool and electric depending on access. They are absolutely perfect for when you get under a car though, as I found out when repairing my mrs's cars heat shield a couple of months back, but a bit niche on bikes. But that's just my experience, and to be fair, I tend to work on smaller/more compact bikes.

I know times are tough, but not even a packet of crisps to sweeten the deal!?

If that's the deal breaker how about a packet of crisps and 2 of chocolate bits biscuits?

I'll raise him by a Snicker

Bloody shitehawks.  For the more ornithological among us - blue footed boobies- have colonised my ship. We've picked up about 100 of these feathered shit machines who are using the ship as a mobile hunting platform as we disturb shoals of flying fish. They have covered the ship in shite and a particularly vile rancid fish smelling version of the stuff. I'd snipe the little bast*rds if I could. Totally pissed off.

You're right there buddy. Normally you don't have a lone punter bidding against himself.

Got to say I was shocked how nice they actually are. Best Served with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream on the side
