You could have made her some Clackers!

Got myself another one.
Why?
This one is going to be a challenge.

This one is going to be a challenge.

Certainly has all the appearances of one.

It doesn't look like a challenge.

It is being one.

A little update on the planner father picked up, I made a boob yesterday. When i started it it took a while to get up to max speed souded like a jet engine starting. Father heard it this morning and instantly said have you got all the phases connected I checked in the plug and it was only wired earth two phase and neutral, I removed the neutral and added the third phase, now up to speed instantly and not so scary, sounds alot better to after a good amount of grease and oil, the moral of this post alway check the wiring before playing with something new to you

everything works ok but belts need looking at as still slack at full adjustment on motor maybe wrong belts ? and the bearings are well shot in the center pulley, and I need to find out what fitting the chucks on Plenty of engineering typish questions coming shortly

I bought a couple of those a while ago. Used them for a while, but in the end went back to the original nuts & a pin spanner. I found with a few of the wheels I was using, the milwaukee nuts would tighten themselves up in use to the point that I had to get a pair of pliers on the flip-up handle to get them undone. It was happening so often that it didn't feel like they were adding much over the original nut so they got consigned to the "Where Tools Go To Die" drawer.

Haven't seen my dad in months so he had some good loot saved for me.


Small Bisley (not actually Bisley) cabinet. Don't know where it's gonna go or what I'll put in it but you don't turn down free drawers.


A spring return cable reel, wiring up the garage is the next job on my list so this will make a nice addition.


Last one, big single point (I believe) load cell. Not sure if it works, under that copper tape there's some kind of amplifier/conditioning circuitry and four wires in the cable. Would be cool to hook it up to an Arduino, it must be good for a few hundred kilos.

Now why would you want to do that when you could send it to me?

New bit holder and a pack of bits, proper impact rated ones, with a bit of luck they'll last a little longer than the nasty old ones I've been using. For what they cost, they wanna last a lot longer!
View attachment 241277
They feel like quality at least, the holder has a death grip on the bits.

If anyone's curious, it took all week but I did break one.

They do grip the screw head very well so I'm still happy with them
