Have used it multiple times in the past, seriously strong and a good sealant. Black is £3 at the moment which is a great price.

A very good condition Beta tool box, wedged into the back of an Audi RS3 with 15mm to spare.
@Hitch I thought after 16 years an upgrade was on the cards

Nice, pretty decent them. Workmate bought an immaculate used one late last year.

i think you must been a bit unlucky on your first buy in the mixer as my otherhalf had one of those for years (8years aprox) any had been looking at the kitchen aid for the last 2 years but held off as she could not justify the buying a new one we had some money from our wedding and it had been sat there for near a year and we had not found any thing we wanted to spend it on in the end i encouraged her to just buy the upgarde as she does not realy buy much unless it clothes etc in the end she ended up with the kmix same as the kitchen aid type but a bit cheaper but come with more stuff and also was on offer she loves it and does do a lot of baking the old one was gifted to a family member and is still working fine aswell i dont realy think it mixes much differance apart for the amount it will mix and a better build quality

That's the kicker for me with all this stuff, you buy a tube, use a little bit of it, then might as well throw the rest out. I had a tube of Tiger Seal and I ended up cutting into the side of the tube so I could scoop some more out. On the other hand my Dad bought some cheap no-brand stuff, opened it, used a bit, and five or six years later it's still possible to push it out "properly".
But then again, which one is still sealing the job you bought it for . . . and in my own experience, it's always the expensive one that has now gone hard in the tube, that is still keeping the elements out.

Ordered some more of the Usacut55 bars, seem to get lost in the post so the seller resent. What arrived looks quite different, doubt its the same so I will need to test later.
Some cromwell ebay clearance items. 1/2" bsp tap, endmills, stub drills and gloves.

I'd never come across them before. A friend has one and I thought it was good, so now I have one

They don't look too much beaten up .
Having to work on a Stihl chainsaw which has been disassembled for cleaning by the owner who now is not able to put it back together and an active 62.62 chainsaw which has been wrongly tuned up causing piston scoring....
Since I've lost mine ,had to buy a new set of carb tuning screwdriver set from Amazon.
+ A set of tools for removing wire terminals from cars connectors.
Which I unfortunately need.
My car still not work ... It starts keeping a very low idle speed and as soon I touch the throttle it dies...
If I disable the fuel pump after starting the engine, the engine will idle, no faults displayed and it responds to the throttle revving up too 1600 RPM and die because now starving for fuel .
ECU is the main suspect.
I was joking about fitting a bike carbs battery on it but now I'm seriously thinking to do it...
Any idea?

My pal Steve, who has an enormous Mill at work, made me this this week:
It is the major component part of a jig I really need for drilling/modifying the Remington bolts to fit claw extractors (Sako bolt shown) It ensures you are drilling the bolt square on:
Just need to drill and tap it for a clamp next.

If you don't want it to set in the tube buy some 'Soudal' branded stuff. Mind you it doesn't set when you squeeze it out either!

A Megger. Been after one of these for a while, this came up cheap on eBay for spares or repairs.
Usual trouble, been left for too long with leaky batteries. I was expecting there to be other faults given how cheap it was, but replaced all the rotted battery wiring and it powers up and all seems to be in spec. Result.
I thought about buying a new battery holder but it cleaned up OK with a bit of citric, plating is still intact. A bit of soldering and hot melt glue and job's a good 'un.
