1. 1/4" bits wouldn't fit the end of the driver - the female end suit 5/16". 2. No idea. The beauty of the mechanical driver is that you turning it whilst driving the bit hard into the fixing - so you very rarely have any skipping issues. 1. Obviously - I was more thinking you need to mov...

If an electrical impact driver can copy with 1/4" bits, does the mechanical impact driver really need 5/16" bits or is that simply to withstand the smacking with a hammer? Any idea what sort of torque you can achieve with a mechanical impact driver and how they compare? ETA: Teng are a nam...

The electrical impact driver is hex too, isn’t it? The difference being that the bits specifically for that are longer with indents to be held in the chuck. While they’d still fit your impact driver they’ll be longer so I can see why you’d prefer not to use them. The short bits are quite common aren...

I’ll forgive you for the EV video Barry, but isn’t that the gimp who thinks he’s faster than Lewis Hamilton but keeps crashing other people’s cars? So I won’t watch his content.

That looks pretty decent and Facom are a good brand, aren’t they?
What’s the red pedal-type thing behind the lifting handle? Foot operated release?

I went out and was disappointed that it wasn’t fully dark yet. Only when I got my phone out did I realise what I could actually see. HDR photos must be what makes it so obvious on camera.

Saves a winter trip to Norway - quite a spectacle.

It’s a lot more visible on a camera but still visible to the naked eye here.

Dell did email me straight away. I’m not overly concerned because the data that was available is limited and I’m not an idiot. Bit poor though.

This. The golden hour or two before others arrive is just lovely.

Looking at the location on Streetview, the side road is not at the right angle anyway so he wouldn't have been able to simply go up there: https://maps.app.goo.gl/cC99QfvZw6XYBypL7 I see he used the dropped kerb for the short cycle lane to good effect; hitting a kerb may have launched him far earlie...

Blimey. In the slow-mo I thought he was going to go up the side road; I guess it was blocked with barriers though. Lucky but ouch.

He has his and her 911s and a lovely house. He now just buys and sells on dips and rises. And earns an incredibly good salary from that alone, high hundreds of thousands. Etherium and a few others that I forgot. I can probably find a few people who make a living from horse racing too - but whatever...

Near the office I'm not in today - will have to see if any of my colleagues can see the plume of smoke. Fortunately we're about 6 miles away.

How are the Lloyds shares you sold doing?

About 35% up on the price I said you should buy at - why do you ask?

As a subscriber I received an email today telling me. So I’d have expected you to as well

Not dead, but it's changed owner again. Carwow has bought it. Er. Not sure whether this is a good or bad thing; Carwow has no magazine but Evo is about far more than drag races and discounted new cars.

BMW rocker cover leaks seem to be as consistent as full moons. Yeah, it's either that or the oil filter housing gasket, they seem to be evergreen pain points on BMW six pot lumps.

What it's worth? A bloody fortune probably! I had a Luke Skywalker from the original film but it's long gone. I'm not sure it would have been worth the full whack with a chewed lightsabre anyway
