Faithfully do them as well, I bought one from our local ironmongers years ago.
Very fast cement,my usual is 15-20 minutes,this stuffs 8! Like Henry ford with his production line,it’s an attempt to get my staff to work faster 
. The longer nipples,will help with bleeding,there’s insufficient space to turn the spanner whilst keeping the pipe attached.
The paint is to tidy up the pre production bowling machine that’s in the shop for some refining.

Went to buy new fasteners for the cut off I'm restoring.
Bought the bolts and a spray can which actually sprays a clear coat which is not paint but plastic , bought to protect the name plate .
Then I went to buy a vintage angle grinder.
A full aluminium body from the 1950's 1960's similar to black and decker wildcat grinders, which is a future Restoration project.
I don't need this thing but it's a piece of history which would probably end up at the scrap otherwise.
Here comes the interesting side of things .
While talking I've discovered the seller was lathe turning teacher after saying him I'm a machinist.
Great he asked if I needed few spot drills , I've said sure .
He said me to look around for things I might need.
Me ok
So I've got
6 spot drills
A bunch of scribes
I think 3 tracing compasses
A vernier
A morse tape 4-5 wedge (he said only a machinist could take it)
An USAG pipe 1 and 1/2" pipe wrench.
A big precision ground square (brand new)
A 10mm square nut wrench
Two letters and numbers punches sets .
A shop built big soldering iron.
A 1950's issued firefighters hatchet.
Probably other things I've not seen
Now the real great bargain.
A 30x60x15 cm plastic boxes filled with a bunch of brand new , still wrapped with paper in the boxes ...
A variety between sizes and shapes ,coarse ,mild , half mild Nicholson files .
I've asked for the price after giving him 40 euros for the grinder.
Well he said Quote: I'll make you an offer, and then you decide.
Is it ok for you 60 euro for everything?
Me in my head I was like: you got to be kidding me?
My answer: perfect we got the deal .
I've already collected the grinder but since my kidneys moved I didn't shot a picture.
Going to collect the upmentioned lot next Saturday cause I didn't have space in my trunk

The lot was £135.

The Leather Bottle, in Pleshey , if I remember correctly.
I'll have to wing out there again, one of these days.
Strange old part of the world, round there...

It has a capacitance test function. I'll give it a try & see how accurate it seems. I'm sure I've got some caps knocking about somewhere.
What's the continuity beep like? If you rapidly tap the probes together does it keep up?

Capacitance test against known good capacitors reads the same as my other meter, although my other meter does not read to .3 places!
Just found a torch on it, I really should read the book
