  1. Get a used laptop battery and dismantle it.Panasonic or Toshiba or Sony all good.Theyre full of 18650 batteries and most ebay sellers list how many cells in there.Laptop batts have to have a long use life as no manufacturer wants the bad press of carp battery life atb

    Not that great an idea, tbh.

    Decent 18650 batteries have protection circuits built in to prevent overheating when charging or discharging. So do laptop batteries, but when you dismantle one, you will remove the circuits because they are not built into each individual cell.

    Do not leave one of these charging unattended - they have been known to catch fire and/or explode.

    Have a look at Torchy the Battery Boy's website for more information.

  2. one of my favourites is a Vaughan California framer

    +1 best hammer I own, in terms of putting nails into things or out of things :)

     

    Other than that, my UKPK - don't feel dressed without it.

  3. Been with them for years, back to when they were Madasafish. Now have fibre with them (to the cabinet) - roadside cabinet is right outside the house so speed is great. Paying for 40 MB/sec, line capacity is 80 plus, and we get a rock-solid 43 MB/sec whenever I've measured it.

    Always had good service, uptime has been outstanding.

    Always get a Sheffield accent on the phone, and their hold music is always local bands :)

  4. The original 303 had, IIRC, cresylic acid in it - the same base as creosote - hence the smell. This gives the product it's water solubility and cleaning ability. They changed the formulation sometime in the the 80's, for safety reasons - it was never as good after, and the smell want nearly as nice :D

  5. I have a few sets of Canon printer cartridges to dispose of - unused, remanufactured units.

    My printer inconsiderately died immediately after I bought a large batch of cartridges for it!

     

    2 sets of the following:

    BCI 6 Black

    BCI 6 Cyan

    BCI 6 Magenta

    BCI 6 Yellow

    BCI 3e Black

     

    Plus another 2 of the BCI 3e Black.

     

    They suit a large variety of older Canon printers - mine was an i865, but there is a large list that they do fit.
