Briton 376E Vertical Panic Bolt

Advantages: Everything about it
Disadvantages: None found yet

...Everyone knows that there is nothing worse than trying to do DIY with cheap tools, as the finish is usually poor. Not the case with this saw. Although it is at the cheaper end of the mitre saw market, its build quality and ease of use are excellent. To bore you with statistics, it has : 1.7kw motor, which spins at 5,000 rpm with no load. 10 inch blade Side bars Clamp The 1.7kw motor is unusually large for a 10 inch saw, they are normally used on the 12 inch saws, which are too big and bulky for average DIY jobs.

This one has a gentle non-descript fragrance but there is a lemon scented one in a yellow (surprise surprise) bottle for those of you who like a bit of scent.

...the outside, opening windows stand proud of the main frame. If you have a multi-paned window this can cause the window to look unbalanced. Consider having dummy vents fitted so that the window looks even and, from the outside, you cannot tell which bits open and which don’t. Equal sightlines is another consideration. Some installers will tell you that what I have described above is an equal sightline consideration. Others will tell you that it is the area of glass that is exposed to let light through being the same on all panes within the window. Whatever the true answer is, ask the question. **How is it made?** A distinction can also be drawn as to how the window is manufactured. Some windows have transoms and mullions (the horizontal bars and the vertical bars respectively) that are screwed together (mechanically jointed... Read review
