List of battery powered appliances etc.?

[bigpaul]

apart from obvious things like torches i'm going for hand tools, have had rechargeable things like drills and screwdrivers in the past and have found them to be highly UNDER powered and the charge dosent last very long at all, so i'm going the hand tools route.

BP,

Do you have a good source for hand-tools?
The ones I've seen are all either 'toys' (not intended for real use) or antiquies (far too expensive)

[If you do you should probably post it under the "Tools" section rather than here as it's off topic for this thread.]

not really, i pick stuff up at markets, car boots and some online.

Car boots good place for hand-tools, I also shop at a local antiques shop, they often have cheap tools mixed in with the expensive stock, and another place eBay and do local search you should find lots.
