So a few weeks ago i bought a new Irwin EVO saw
Which turned out to be the biggest pile of poo I have ever bought, nowhere near it's £14 price tag. So save yourself the heartache, I won't repeat where i'd like to insert this into the salesman.
But today i went in to a new tool supplier that has opened up near me and I found some pretty cool products along with some knowledgable and decent staff.
One of the things i bought today is a new saw out from Bahco, I can honestly say i've never felt a saw which feels so robust with exceptional build quality, what's more is that the blades are interchangeable!!! I can now have 6 or 7 saw types of saw that take up the space of just over 1. The handle is metal with a moulded rubber insert (Left and right handed version available) it's comfortable and has a reassuring heavy weight about it, as do the blades. The whole thing just feels like class. I bought two blades at £8 each and got a free handle, the guy says he'll do all future blades to me at £6.
Honestly I would recommend this saw to anyone.

Bahco – True professionals’ love for increasing their performance by its ergonomics and design
The other thing I came across is some ear defenders from Ryobi Tek4 range
These beauties have in built amplifiers which means you can hear conversations even when wearing them but the moment a high frequency is detected (like a power tool) it will switch off and protect your ear drums!
It has a volume control which you can adjust, when i tried them out in the store I could clearly pick up a converstation from to guys chating some 20m away, better than when i wasn't wearing them!) It also has an auxiliary input which you can plug an MP3 player into.
Or as me and my mate where discussing a two way radio. We thought this would be perfert if there are two of you on site, say one using a wet cutter outside and another fixing, how good would it be that you could just give measurements without going backwards and forwards or say "Sorry mate can you do 3 of those instead of 2" etc. etc.
At £70 there aren't cheap but are very comfortable and work remarkably well.

So there you go, two new tools i'd highly recommend
Lastly if you're ever in Brighton I would also recommend the tool shop, I can see them stealing quite a bit of business from their rivals over the coming months
