u realy have to investigate every box of tat and get your roller skates on and out of bed by 6 am to beat the dealers / u can afford to be choosy on price when u already have a load of stuff collected over 40 yearsI'm gonna have to come round this bootsale of yours someday. Ours sound pants in comparison. If I found owt like that at ours, they'd want more than new prices.

u sure he wasn't Scottish I was there for 6 thirty went round 3 times and left at 8 thirtyAye I wondered if you'd be there after you mentioned about my hand shaper I bought last month! Pretty dire at the top end of the carpark I must say, was wet and I only got there at half 10. Got a good few bargains as did my other half (see even a joiner can get stuff in a sea of metalwork tools).
Now I overheard someone with a Teeside accent, might have been you! Someone was selling a box labelled as "Genuine box £6" and I heard a very North accent of "Aye ye'hve go'a be careful of them non genuine boxes aroond"
Very desirable tool holder in the third pic in that listing, but they're much better when turned round and fitted with the nut forward so the tool tip is almost below the clapper hinge pin, to help stop chatter.
That type also allows the tool to be rotated to get into tricky places, I've been after one for ages but I've got halfway though making one today!
