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

[Barking Mat]

I've utterly stopped buying stuff from the U.K. and from this forum sadly.

The hit and miss 30€ customs duty has done that.

I used to get my bandsaw blades from tuffsaw but they no longer ship to Ireland.

 

[MetalMonkey]

Decided to treat myself - Not tested in anger yet, but very impressed with how quiet it is compared to my previous sanders.

Some tools for a little tool box and new phone finally. Was on iPhone 7 for years but this is such a godsend now. My iPhone 7 was like triggers broom

A set of pry bars for the little tool box?
Are you changing your career to house breaker?

I was waiting for this comment haha. I will have the larger pry bar outside it obviously. Just some things for the truck. I don’t want to be caught out somewhere not able to get on.

What do you make of that sealey stuff? Not really used it for one reason or another but it’s cheap enough for a truck box.

Got some eclipse hacksaw blades on clearance from Toolstation, £7 odd for 10 which seemed a little cheaper than elsewhere, handy if your already getting stuff from there but not sure the saving is enough to make a special trip!

Here sits a happy TYA, coffee and free food.
Plus a dam good morning at 2 car boots. Both had a mix of total rubbish to you want how much for that?

First one has more traders than booters, but to be fair the traders do have good prices.



Clarke Wire brush set.



Another trader had this set of 6" wire brushes.



With luck they will fit my bench grinders.

I then spent more money.



I was very cheeky and asked for a discount, I didn't get one.
But she did throw in the polishing compounds top right. for free.

Finally at that boot.



Then a quick burger and head to the other boot.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Car boot number two was more traditional one.
Still a lot of rubbish, some one said:
Where's there's muck there is brass.



Wolf Drill lathe. I missed the Wolf drill by mere minutes.
Shame

So I brought a drill, but it will not fit the Wolf Lathe.






I am assured it works, but as you can see it does need to TLC.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Free food, I can post this, as my friend is taking a bath.

That means the room will smell of perfume and other ladies stuff.

Why do some modern houses have 2 toilets, one shower and no bath?

Why do ladies have so much stuff?! I have a can of deodorant and a toothbrush in the bathroom. Shower gel in the shower. That is it.

That drill looks very much like a Nu-tool one, is it?

If you ever find the answer, let us all know.

It does, but no name on it.

Opened the box today and took delivery of a 50 pack of GYS 1.6 6013 Electrodes. Well packaged or what !

 

[Kram]

The Amazon Ginour lid arrived. True colour with side windows. Looks a very good design, light weight. *Have not tested welding yet* The lens is very good, 100x better than my old cheapy. Light is shade 3. Dark is 5 - 13
I may be prefering this cheapy over the GYS Alien! If it arrives..

Couple of minor annoyances - the headband looks a good design and feels very comfortable when on but may need adjustment. It doesnt move down enough for access to the controls,
edit- amazon video shows how to adjust it, sorted. Which are hidden right up the top behind headband. Better if they were below and easily accessable. I rarely mess around with them, so not a big problem I think I will leave it shade 11, highest sens, longest delay and never touch it again if anything like the old cheapy. I should have upgraded sooner! Thirty three pounds!

Could use some flame stickers

It’s not actually bad. I have one of the spanner sets already. They’re only around £35 with a lifetime warranty. Things I can’t get from Halfords I have been tending to buy from sealey.
