Combined pop rivet & rivnut gun, & nibbler, (or reamer, as they refer to it, but it's a nibbler, in my view).
Going to have a play with it later.
Spec's from the box cover for nut & rivet sizes.
Nice weight, & initial once over, everything seems sturdily made.

Won't work with air. Meant for liquid, hydraulic oil probably.

Today I acquired a very nice fully adjustable Blackhawk chassis measuring/ holding jig, came with a box of locating/holddown tricks and a load of no use to me chassis data sheets. This is going to make very easy work of a few projects I have on the go.

It'll work exactly the same with air as it does liquid.

It does. M8 & M10 pictured. They're magnetic, so steel.
One thing I have noticed is the pop rivet guides/noses are mismarked. Used the 4.0 for a 4.8 rivet. 4.0 rivet fits the 3.2 etc. Not an issue for me.

So today I've bought one of those Einhell airtech euro 4300V ,v twin air compressor 412 litres minute.
Used for 50 Euros (an equivalent nowadays one is about 400 euros ) ,sold as not working , I've proceed inspecting the tank for thinner /rusted spots didn't found any ,then hand on my trusty FLUKE 115 , good capacitors, no shorts to ground and even the power cord is good, it only requires a new pressure switch (I have one) I'll replace and connect it to a contactor just because .
Tomorrow I'll start cleaning it up and try to get it running .
If it does I will strip the stickers because they are really beaten up and ugly...
Might put the Atlas Copco logo on it because I'd feel less poor , just joking by the way .
I really love the motor design , very Shiny alluminum housing with many wide and thin cooling fins .
Plus a really big fan .
Tomorrow I'll also shot some pictures of it once cleaned.
I've took the risk it might be garbage but the Metabo WE24-230MVT too was a risk and turned up in one of my best bargains ever made just a broken plug.
Didn't end up here also bought something similar to this (tomorrow pics)
Very heavy cast iron base looks solid and enough old to say it was built prior my grandfather decided to give the gift of life to my dad .
It has some rust on the table and the pillar but it moves very well.
Bought for 25 euros, seller asked for more than 100 I've literally said him quote
"I was thinking for way less money, like 25 euros, but I don't even propose you to sell it for this price because way lower than yours"
While leaving to come back home he said me " 25 is good "
Few months ago I've bought a Fein DSK 672-2 morse taper portable drill and I think it would fit nicely on this stand .
I will restore it as well.
Then lost a bargain for a 7kW Pramac Honda generator

Had a bit of a run out today to visit a friend and see my mum.
Swung by a place called ‘work aid’ in Chesham. To pick up an accidental eBay purchase.
Its only a small shop but an extremely pleasant place and as well as a lot of garden tools, wood working stuff and fabric they had a few bits of engineering stuff too.
This is there website they have an eBay shop on there too. Seems like a very good cause to me.
https://workaid.org/
(Just to clarify it’s probably not worth driving hours to visit but if you find yourself nearby with a spare half hour why not pay them a visit)
So I came away with:
A mitutoyo depth mic. I’d imagine it’s missing the extendy bits for deeper depths but I probably wouldn’t know how to use them.
(Shame I couldn’t stretch to mr swains slip gauge set they had there too)
And a 3ft orca that I definitely don’t know what to do with!(the accidental eBay purchase)
Not sure who ‘rjh’ are or were?
