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

[Kram]

A 2 stroke blower. Appears wider than a BG86 but very similar in power, perhaps more noise though.

I thought I was the only person out in the workshop at 9pm

That's the first opportunity I normally get to go to the workshop!

 

[Chillitt]

Kind of a long term thing but its here now and the fun will start soon. I scrounged a TIG set here ages ago, and it sat in a cupboard for ages waiting for the plague to pass, it didnt, but a while ago a mate who knows how to tig took it away to play with and check over, and it landed back here on Sunday. It's a Rotenback 2 in 1. I'm now off to read all the how tos I can find,

I got myself a manual pallet stacker.

Hopefully, it will make loading and offloading things easier and safer than my abused chinese engine crane (it is still hard work pumping and pumping and pumping though).

1 ton capacity (depending on the size of the load, where it sits on the forks and height).

I did have to use the chinese engine crane to offload it (the borrowed trailer has got no ramps).

Got a chance to quickly try it out this evening with a Startrite TA1250 table saw.

I chickened out that this height and took a photo.

Got a little braver and went a little higher.

It was not completely maxed out but pretty close. It sure is scary pumping away with all that weight on the forks.

It just about fits in the garage.

On Wednesday this pile turned up whilst we’ve been on site,no idea who left them,today a kind customer who used to have a large fab company,since retired,gets me to do his small jobs,owns up to donating them,he works at a recycling depot and they’d been thrown in!

 

[Cheesie]

I was gifted this today, never been used, even came with free cider

 

[Kram]

Cromwell, £15 delivered. Almost didnt arrive as the parcelfarce tracking photo shows it at a completely different house. Unsure if the postie, or the recipient was kind enough to deliver to my door.

 

[northwest]

I've got something similar....came in very handy for curing paint on my callipers.

I have one of those, I use it to cure Cerakote. Very useful thing, one of these days I will use it to actually cook something.

Im ashamed to say ive not bought a new hammer since the early 90s, they are the sort of thing that seem to multiply and just appear!
Anyhow saw this Estwing and thought it looks a bit different with the D shaped head so we will see how it goes

D-shaped head for those very rare occasions when one needs to set a nail in a corner; however, the curved claw negates getting in to tight areas to remove nails, so it should have had a straight claw.

If your that tight into a corner you wont get claws on it whatever the shape

No need for it currently but you never know what the future holds.

I find them really good - one of the very few things I still buy from the UK are their small forgings, balls, dishes etc.

 

[Craig-SM]

Took the dog for a walk round a different park and it just so happened to be near a Milwaukee stockists. Hopefully the pry bars will perform better than the limp Sealey ones they’re replacing.

Let us know how you find them, have my eye on a set for my mobile tool kit.

Went to screw fix for an isolation valve, came away with 2 fatmax pro organisers - £25 for 2 at the moment which didn't seem too unreasonable.

They've come down in price. I have about 10 of them including the slim versions and they’ve been great, not even broken any yet which is a bonus

I have high hopes for them and judging by their weight should be a lot stronger.
