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

Upgrade from the Drapers - And about time I did, £15 well spent - bargain

 

[Kram]

I didn’t think to check the size I guess these are mini onesView attachment 288502

I found another one for £7, now gone up by 20 quid

Todays stuff other than the knurler at the back. Holders fit! I bought the knurling holder thinking the arms might be a direct swap, but they are both female. So I will make a male adaptor out of 10mm plate. The other 4 holders should be tomorrow.

The PCD inserts turns up to be 0702's and my holder is 1103 So a new holder will be needed.
Got one of those TS100 soldering tips to try, I'll turn a handle and use a pwm to drive it.

Thanks to @Milkybars keen eyes, I have acquired this.
.

Just need to replace the lead with some swa and a commando plug.
Hopefully it will be OK in this position, otherwise it will be opposite and I'll have to run steel conduit up the wall, across the ceiling and down the other wall (more tools to buy and store).

A new hook, I wasn't planning on needing a new one but this came up cheaper than a new safety catch for the original one.

I've always understood that crane hooks are never supposed to be painted ? At least in the USA they are not.

For inspection supposedly

I have a few little jobs coming up, and I decided that maybe a mini circular saw with laser, would be perfect for them. So this arrived this evening, with 6 spare blades (2 of 3 types), and other odds and bods.

I know it’s not exactly a great name, but I ended up with a 17% discount on Amazon Prime (that well known tool shop), and the reviews were not bad at all.

I will have a play with it tomorrow, but I think it should cope with the use I’ll give it.

This is powder coated direct from the manufacturer so who am I to argue??

A roof rack for the front of my Splitty,as I’m planning on placing a roof tent on the rear rack,the luggage will have to shift forward.
How many of these were scrapped in the last 20 years since the advent of roof rails?

Personally, I would question it, especially if the reason it was cheap was because it was from a far east or third world source ?

It's genuine hiab, new old stock ,how they came out of the factory, what's to question?

 

[Arc Tourist]

Genuine, then fair enough.

Even Pallfinger and Epsilon come with a painted hooks as standard.

Crosby hooks were/are always painted (red?). Then there's those yellow ones we used to use...name escapes me...painted yellow oddly. I'd say the paint on those was thicker than on the Crosby ones.
