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

[Blue Chips]

I recently found a tool tote with enough pockets to hold a sizeable number of my most-commonly-used hand tools for residential wiring, plus a few meters, etc. I find it a lot handier than digging through a tool bag or box. Depending on what I happen to be working on, I may swap out a few tools in the tote. I got this on amazon.com (US).

Thats a handy looking tote! mine is rammed and been looking at a bigger one, what make is it if you don't mind me asking?

Few recent acquisitions..

Hyundai compressor. "Super silent" is a bit of a stretch, but it is quiet. 35% off because it was a return with no box. It's a nice little machine. I did up the tank pressure to 120psi though.



Some Aircat long air ratchets. The larger was advertised as ½" but is also ⅜". Have found a repair kit from an identical one branded as Hazet to convert to ½" though.



Stubby Facom ½" impact. Yet to use it properly but seems good.



Big Ingersoll-Rand ¾" impact. Wanted one for a long time. This came from the US and was half the price of buying here. Nice piece of kit.



Truck brake sockets, 26mm ¾" 12-point impact socket, ¾" long 14mm hex bit socket, ½" 21mm flare nut socket, funny 12mm drain plug key, angled metric feeler gauges, panel gap gauges.



1" 22-50mm impact sockets. £11 delivered. Thought it might be a scam, but was through eBay so risked it. They turned up within 48h! Big ¾" hex drivers.



My new favourite delivery driver!

It's a "CLC" brand. It seems to be good quality for the price. Here's a link to the US Amazon page. I'm an Amazon Prime member, so shipping was free for me in the US.

Thanks much appreciated

Celebrated the change of job this morning with this:


At 300mm between centres and 180mm maximum diameter over the bed it's not the biggest machine on the market but it's perfect for what I need.

Exactly what I've got, well worth doing some mods to it first of all swap to angular contact spindle bearings. You can also adjust the controller pots if it stalls out on cuts you'd expect it to do.

Have a look through here also http://mikesworkshop.weebly.com/lathe-modifications.html

Much thanks for that, looks like a very useful resource .

I'll peruse it length at some stage but first I need to re-acquaint myself with a lathe as it's been more than 12 years since I last used one.

I don't know Mat, but it will be nice to have a Metric Set to compliment my 3/4" drive Imperial Set which goes up to two inches. I also think (?) I still have a 3/4" to 1" drive adapter.

I was skeptical being they were so cheap and everyone selling that set wants 45 quid, but they arrived quick without any issue.

******** missed it...

If they get more in stock at that price i'll let you know.
