zk2102 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I know I've seen this question asked before but, how clean is really clean? Can we take the jigsaw, circular saws etc, and is it worth it? How do we get all the saw dust out? Didn't think I'd ever be asking that question. Husband isn't a tradie so these aren't professional tools but still expensive. Just started to sort out everything, got to be out of house in Aug. we've been having heated debates about what we should take. Is it ridiculous to pack the watering can? I want to take it all because it all adds up when you have to replace it. For those of you who've made the move what would you recommend?

flatpack Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I'm a tradie and have many thousands of pounds worth of tools and power tools which obviously need to come with me. My plan to get rid of the saw dust is compressed air then a clean with jeyes fluid. My sister's advice (she's been there a while now) is pack everything and I mean everything, so we are following that advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flatpack Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Air that is squashed into a cylinder and then released through a tube! http://www.trueshopping.co.uk/product/Trueshopping_Sierra_Air_Compressor_6L_1HP_5CFM_230v/5326/62323.html?gclid=CNKJx8jJ6L4CFQkCwwodMQQArQ That's a cheap one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjg Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 I agree with flatpack, blast the tools with the air then wipe down. That's what I did with my drill, jigsaw and sander The biggest issue will be dirt and rust. Remove these and you will be ok. ETA - If you are attached to the watering can, bring it!
