They make good press pieces too. For bearings and the like.

Ok I confess I got the second last setWow ! that's an unbelievable price. Thanks for posting.I ordered the last set, couldn't pass that up with free postage; will be interesting to see what arrives.
I’ve got a 1” Bristol torque wrench and no sockets for it. Yet!

Orphaned tools, love it, but so wrong, on so many levels.

Here the house rule is - if a tool is used just once (even if not for its intended purpose) it has justified its acquisition.

Bumper haul at the boot fair today:
Box of WERA screwdrivers for a tenner
Three 12" adjustables for work £15
Evolution metal cutting circular saw £20
Hikoki 9" Grinder £40 like new
Also got some wire wheels for my bench grinder and 30m of heavy 3-core flex for workshop equipment.
I didn't buy this but I thought it was a decent deal. 45 quid for a larger model of Bambi compressor. If I needed it this woul d have been a good deal IMO.

My viewpoint is that if you have the capability to do the job yourself, and it would cost less than hiring someone, then the price of the tool is worthwhile. If it looks like a one time job which you can also do yourself, and the cost of the tool is very expensive, then try and rent one.

Trailers of this type, but mostly smaller, here have the popular name "Klau-Fix" - like "Steal-Quick".
A name for these trailers that, according to the story, originated in the GDR, where you had to be ready at any time when building materials or other sought-after scarce goods appeared somewhere; after all, you wanted to get your own little house finished.
Have a nice Sunday all,
Carsten

If they save 1 or 2 tubes they're worth it!
Luckily I was using PU to glue down slates last year...kept reusing the nozzles so now I have a healthy supply. I find a plastic bag over the cut end helps...then screw the nozzle over the bag.

Today a neighbour stopped by and gave me this. Mostly of brass, it was made in Sweden according to a stamp mark on the bleed screw.
