As for 1/2 avalibility, I got my pipe from a friend of a relative who was clearing out his lock up garages.

Machine mart sells it at £1.29 a metre, not sure how this compares to local building/tool suppliers.



Just checked the hose i'm using and actuall I think its 10mm not 1/2 inch. Still better than 8 or even worse 6mm hose.

Ahh yes it is, oh and get yourself an uncoiled decent hose - makes life a lot less work when its not wrapping itself around everything.

I use a rubber hose now as I found the plastic one I had was a pain in the proverbial as it wouldn't lie down and was always snagging on something. I don't find the bore to be a problem, 3/8" or 1/2" works fine with the tools I use but I find in weather like the recent cold I lose more to icing than anything.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Stop eating cakes while you're working! That'll fix that problem...
