I ordered the DeWalt DCS371 cordless bandsaw from a well-known online company. They sent me two! I thought they'd contact me realising their cock up but no word from them.

Result 😂

Used it for splitting up pallets. Great for cutting the nails off.

I use an angle grinder after applying my wonderful pallet breaker.

canny like.

similar reason why my tuesday night football has pink bibs and yellow bibs.

pink because one lad ordered a pink getafe away top about 10 years back. the company he ordered it from made a mistake and kept sending out the same one daily for 30 days ha. so we all ended up with one and there was pink tops everywhere and it was confusing.

yellow because one lad needed a xxxxl top and the only one he could find was a colchester united away top again from years back :lol:

actually a little while ago i was searching festool on amazon. i spotted a festool 110v sander... think its the ets150 or something like that for £123.45 (or atleast a price close to that)

thought nahhhhh thats too good to be true its a £300 plus machine.

i took a punt on it thinking theyd just refund me. it actually turned up though. and it was from a propper tool supplier with an invoice absolutely brand new

Seen that a while but dubious whether they were any good or not. I assume you like yours then?

I bought a DeWalt multi tool that didn't show up even though they said it had been delivered. I complained and they sent a replacement. About an hour later my next door neighbour showed up at my door telling me a parcel had arrived for me 😂 I suppose it was the delivery guys fault for not leaving a note. I swithered about calling them back but decided not to oops.
