Today I acquired...........

[Tangledfeet]

Two Parker Rectus 21 couplings from eBay.



Except, as the eagle eyed amongst you make have spotted, they're not - they're Kee couplings.

Am I being OTT / OCD in raising an eBay return as they're not as advertised; have bought from this seller before and they've supplied genuine Parker fittings before?

 

[Arc Tourist]

I would return, as the add stipulated genuine parts, the brand, and stating "Still the Best".

Seller has messaged me and someone else picked the wrong parts in his (COVID related) absence; sound like he's going to replace them with the Parker ones so all good!

Anyone know a good place to buy scotchbrite pads for finishing? The hand pads?

and emery tape?
Branded preferably. Klongspor etc

 

[Arc Tourist]

Check your local Lidl shop, currently my local has these 6"x 9" pads on offer in a couple of different grits.

Screwfix?

Paul, I've been on the lookout for a descent set of these too, where did you get your set from?

I have about twenty now, all top kit, Knipex, Blue Point, Channel Lok. Every single time I need a pair, NONE of the ones I have will work. I now use (mostly) destructive methods to remove them.

There was a comedy show on the box called the Clampits (or similar)

They live just down the road from here, or their Kissin Cousins do anyhow.

Back on topic, I went to get a length of 6068 1" ally on Sunday, guess what? Larder was bare. Couldn't believe it, I had "just" bought three lengths (we have all been there I am sure) so a trip out to my new bestest friend. 6065 and a length of 7068 for a job. Also picked up a couple bits of stainless and a length of Titanium:



Thing is, this stuff never lasts. But I am ******** if I know where it goes!

I used to get scuff pads from either Screwfix or Toolstation. Can't remember which, offhand.

Don`t worry they are next door to each other.

I know that fact all too well. Handy, until the time you forget which shop you placed that online order with.

How come they are next door to each other selling the same gear.

Got a garage air filter...plan is to keep the general level of dust down. Not bad price I think and with a bit of luck will be enough for a double garage. I think this one is sold under a few brands but went with record because of the guarantee and had good service from them in the past. Bought a few spare filters too of course....surprised how quiet it is...had to check it was on!
