[slim_boy_fat]

An addiction I know..but for £17 Inc postage for 300...proper clips!

He had hundreds more listed on eBay if anyone wants them.i thought it was an absolute bargain!

Sure those numbers are right? Can't find them, or scottstores

 

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

Yea they must have gone...they have best offers on his listings....rivets look good too...but would I use a few thousand rivets!

Search for 2000 in total hose clips...he has a big lot still for sale on ebay

20 boxes were too many even for me

That's the one...he's got some interesting stuff for sale...I was tempted by the 2000 clips...but was worried it would only fuel my addiction....

I'm watching the smaller number but I'll not be getting into a bidding war. Looks like he's clearing liquidated stock?

Thats basically what I did....bid £10 at the end and won!

Think if he just split the 20 boxes into boxes of 1,2,3 he'd get them sold quicker...but maybe doesn't want the hassle.

Bought a cheap set of 1-2-3 blocks, in a wooden box. Gave them a quick wipe, but still lots of grease to clean off them.


Oooh... new toys....

I acquired a very stern look from my old man for snapping his very useful pipe wrench.
He’s had it longer than I’ve been around.

More like wrong material. Its cast, was designed to break.

Nice spanner never the less. What era, make is it?

Today i acquired an empty toy shop as the person who took it over from us has had a career change but i did find a Sass&Belle small suitcase left behind,

Now i have to think should i rent it back out or start something there of my own.

I may have one?

Is that the same?

I didn't strictly acquire it today, but this arrived recently.

And off course you've got to run one of the sample files.

To be fair he’s had it for over 30 years and it’s taken a lot of abuse over the years.
It was made by a company called TOYANG who I’ve never heard of and I’ve never seen them for sale new. I did this this little article during my searching though.

Dad bought it from a company that made something special for oil rigs or drilling so maybe it’s a bit of oil industry gear.

The top jaw is on a ratchet and opens out as you spin it around. Once it’s on a bolt or pipe the jaw tightens as you pull the handle so the harder you pull the more it grips.
It’s a very useful tool.

You'll have to do a test on them and see how good or bad they are, size and squareness wise.

Looks pretty much identical to mine aside from the branding.

I wonder if it runs on grbl, if it does then lightburn is a possibly software upgrade (totally not worth it with a mini diode but as I have a 50w and a 40w running on it it could be fun to add to the stable)

Search ebay item 312981769697 seller is scottstores. Also item 312988175507...looks like he sells job lots. I was tempted by the rivets he has and some of his other stuff looks interesting and descent prices.

I have no link to the seller...just came across when I was looking for clips.

Weirdly, he's pulled all his listings, including one I had my eye on.
The ones with bids on he finished early and took the bid to wrap it up.
