Today I acquired from @EddyP a " suction cup
or a woods power grip to be precise excellent piece kit for anything with a smooth ish surface .
I was un packing it in the utility room when the misses walked in and said what's that , so I promptly stuck it to wall leaving a big black ring on the paint
" you best get that cleaned off " she says and disappears nun to happy 
I didn't get a picture as I was to busy cleaning , took a couple of scrubs and was gone 
. I had one of these years ago albeit a bit smaller diameter at 6 1/2 " ,I lent it out and it came back the cup punctured

I'm down in Salisbury visiting my parents, and sister and her family.
This morning I popped in to the town to get a book voucher for my nephew's friend's birthday at a lovely wee independent children's bookshop.
Couldn't leave without asking if they had one of my favourite books... this now completes the trilogy of memorable books from my childhood; the other two being 'Where the Wild Things Are' and 'The Hungry Caterpillar'.
Probably advanced reading for most on here, myself included! ;-)

Many moons ago when my lad was little we were in one of the big DIY places looking for some plumbing fitting or another.
I'd been there a while when I suddenly thought, he's been quiet, what's he up too?
When I looked round he'd been busy emptying a whole shelf full of toilet / sink plungers and sticking then firmly to the smooth floor. There must have been 50 of the things firmly stuck to the floor, with a good dozen people stood at the end of yhe Isle laughing at his antics (and mine as we then struggled to get them unstuck again and back on the shelf)
little sod!

Ooooh, high lift jack, nice !
Brilliant if you know how to use it properly.
Remember to keep the handle vertical except when actually jacking. Especially when switching from lift to lower.

Absolutely, these things have a habit of being vicious little tykes!

Although slow, it also works great for winching with a hooked chain.

Picked this up the other day because I’m sick of filling buckets of water in order to fill the paddling pool up and watering the garden.
Found this kit self tapping and everything included in one box… only £10!
Screwfix wanted £26 for the similar kit.
And fitted today
Now she can fill the pool up and water the garden with ease!

Excellent acquisition! I've got a similar high-jacker that has been useful on many occasions, including home renovation work. You might already be familiar with these jacks, but in any case, just be careful to use it correctly so that you don't end up with a permanently high-pitched voice or other bodily damage.Got this today.
Also, check the parts carefully for any cracks or other defects before using it. I had to return one some years ago for that reason. I ended up buying a more expensive (but safer) jack.

Although I had a winch on my Jeep, I also carried a high lift jack bolted to the rear rack. The footpad can be seen on the opposite side of the visible jerrycan.
