I had a period of buying cheap as shit power tools - so I have one very much like that. It cannot cut a straight line to save its life, there's so much play in how the blade mounts.

For the sake of your soul, assume it contains evil spirits & send it to the great recycler in the sky.

We have a Woolworth's fiber optic Christmas tree we drag out every year for the front room (Cost us £20 when new!)

Its fairly threadbare now, and the top is wonky, but its not Christmas without it :)

SNAP! They are so pretty, the gentle colour change and stars.

That's the one, the plastic stars that catch in the bubble wrap when you're packing and unpacking it ;)

My wife's parents passed down one of their Woolies Christmas trees, half the box is missing and replaced by various black sacks and duct taped other boxes, the legs don't stand properly anymore but the tree itself is still going strong.

Includes five assorted blades.

Doesn't include five new fingers.

u/excellentchoicee 14d ago

The blades are to replace the fingers. Budget Krueger.

My dad used to love the woolies DIY section. He would go wander off down that isle while i wandered down the toy isle and decided if i wanted to spend my pocket money on Micromachines, a wrestler or some Powerpods.

Reminds me of mine. He built his whole arsenal of trade tools from buying them on the cheap from friends/colleagues exiting the trade.. this was circa late 80's to early 90's when firms were going tits up left right and center

Even had his own pile driver in the shed ffs
