My sister started work at a new diy store Bunnings, didn't rate the so called warehouse prices but found the 550w aeg grinder for £99, managed to get a discount on there staff family and friends day, £75, starts up and runs really fast and quiet, has lights built in to the shrouds and has an extended 6 year warrentee when registered on online.

Stick some new cooler cutting wheels on it and you're well away.
Those grey wheels that come on grinders from factory produce a ton of heat when they cut. Not a problem if you're just shaping steel ready to weld up or something. If you're wanting to sharpen something an not ruin the temper or simply get a better finish faster then you need better wheels. There's a variety out there, Red, White and Blue (there's diamond too but forget those unless you got 6 numbers on saturday!) The blue wheels are the best but are more costly, red are the cheaper end with white in the middle ground. I'm told the blue wheels are favoured by some wood workers for sharpening chisels.

Two of Leaky5's excellent notebook pouches.
Made to fit my Alwych notebooks.
First class bits of kit, very well made and just the job for what I've been looking for.

In the UK they stopped selling the ointment about 4 years ago, you can now only get the slimy white stuff. The ointment is sticky, oily, pink, smells great and contains zinc oxide. It's the best treatment for chapped fingers I've ever come across.
An Led Lenser T.72 ready for the dark winter nights walking the dog, replaced my cheapo one, love it.
