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

that's taken some flying leaps from several metres up. I do take reasonable care of my tools

Bit of a contradiction?

 

[MattF]

cant there only cheap make scribers

They're scribes. No manufacturer can screw those up, surely?

We only use them for picking out the filters on the tanks of chainsaws/backpacks/strimmers etc and guiding the fuel pipes out of awkward places.



I do have a nice one in the workshop I use for injunering

I would never of thought of using gherkins for that purpose

 

[Moose McAlpine]

Are the scribes for hooking the gherkins out of the jar?

yes they can cheap soft steel .making them out of silver steel and hardening them are the best quality

Bit of a contradiction?

Maybe. I did say reasonable...

That one was on a floor board whilst I was taking out the old floor in the workshop and someone else stood on the end of it, resulting it taking a flying leap.

Landlord had the audacity to remove it

Some folk have no consideration for the needs of others .

Got myself a grease gun for work. I ordered it last month because this month my friend and I have a bet on not to buy any tools.

Now thats posh!

I'll be interested to hear how you get on with it @KimB. I bought the M18 version a couple of weeks ago and it's very good, but I wanted to replace the nozzle for a clip on version that was trigger operated. Turns out that the business end of the flexy hose is M10 x 1.0 pitch whereas most nozzles are 1/8" NPT. I ended up making an adaptor from some 1/2" hex brass bar. I'm told that there are batches that came out with 1/8" NPT but Milwaukee don't know which went where !!!!!!

That’s exactly right. I bought a genuine gwaza G coupler and it’s m10 x 1 that doesn’t fit my 1/8NPT thread. Very annoying. Sending it back now.
I found the info below online about the issue.

Exactly. Can’t lose to him

Proper eggs! often thought about keeping chickens but nearly everyone round here has them so it doesnt seem worth the bother!

 

[Pete.]

Looks like your chicken's been kicked up the ****

 

[Sergei Slovenija]

A new to me compressor. I got sick of having to pause the plasma table while the old one caught up. I don't think that's going to be a problem anymore. I work in a nice yard, one of my neighbours came with me to fetch it in his van and another couldn't be around today but left his forklift for me anyway. It was a fun day!View attachment 340794

And today my screw compressor arrived. Already connected, it works no louder than a refrigerator.

Need to do a little service, change the oil and filter.

I've been using LockNLube couplers with 1/8" NPT thread. The short version is what I use most, but the extended-length version is handy for some Zerk locations. So far, they've been working great.

It actually looks exactly the same as the g coupler other than the name on it. Friend of mine is giving me an npt one. So that’ll do I think
