Similar story. Paid his mortgage off then sold it all. Just does whatever now as he bought a couple of rental houses he lives off. He’s 10 years younger than me.

I posted on the wrong thread. Admin moved it here. Got to keep you guessing for a time.Twice?

Pics of my bearing puller 
I can't believe the hex head of the screw isn't more damaged from being whacked with hammers, I wonder if it's had one replacement screw already. The leg locking collar has had it's share of abuse from people trying to tighten or slacken it with chisels...

There was a lot of it, and I laughed considering the contents.

Marked JB and 28 lbs., it actually weighs thirty one pounds. There's some rust but it appears unused, as I can't see any hammer marks on the surface or edges. 315 mm long, 67 mm wide, 65mm high, its a good size for a bench top anvil. The bubble wrap to protect it during shipping was a nice touch but had me laughing.

The "system" has recognised that you buy certain items and adjusts its prices .. have you ever looked at something and noted the price and then looked elsewhere then gone back to the original site to fond it more expensive.Thank you! It is still cheaper than the £51 I was seeing. I don't understand why, but sometimes the same search on my Mrs phone can show different item prices than mine

Needed some drills for my work bag so grabbed these Dewalt ones to get a full set.

I suspect the bubble wrap protected all the other parcels from the anvil not the other way round. Nice thing to have / use.

Got this tool box for free - it’s a very old SK Tools one from the USA. My sister is getting married next year and I thought it would be a nice present to her fiancé whom I happen to get along with very well. The goal is to restore it, then fill it with old SK gear. First purchase is a set of 7-19mm sockets, $75. Bargain! I’ve always liked SK, but I’m a Britool man at heart
