Faceache Marketplace bargain. Don't usually see things like this locally around here.
Knipex welding clamps. I think they are designed for round stock, but look like they could have multiple applications.
I don't think they have actually been used, just look like they have been kicking around somebodies toolbox.

The 42 14 280 are for flat bar and panels, these are the 42 24 280 which have a V notch and angled jaws for pipe (they don't close up for panels) - but it seems 25mm box section fits OK too.

Strange set of pliers, never seen made like that, I was 100% sure they were for panels.

For my battery eliminator I have cable tied the mains cable to the right side vent slots with two cable ties and used the left to cable tie the 12 volt cables with two more ties . It sits under a strong clear protective poly carb box which I got from B&M for £ 3 ish .

Tested and overall worth the price.
The saddle bolts went off easily.
The tie rods Wich keep the hammer components together went off even easier.
M18x1.5.
Now these last four felt loose as we usually use a 2 meter long pipe to release them and the impact didn't really hammered that much but on the other hand they were not that big of a bolt to loosen up.
Downside it throws the battery while shaking

Am emergency fence repair, on the insurance company.
Not a perfect repair, as where the fence post were to be driven is a 2" power cable.
As my neighbours found out.
So a repair, a bodge and a bit of giggery pokeerry. My garden is now secure.
Derrick and Mandy do like their tea, worth it.

Two weeks ago I got £5 a kilo for stripped out taps and clean brass stop valves etc . £5.50 for stripped out lead free copper too £3.10 per Kg for aluminium cast stripped out and £ 1.5 for 1 Kg of mixed scrap Had a nice £75 bank transfer as a result . ( (9kg of the brass )
Then as it was transferred to my account I went and scraped my bloody car on the weighbridge ramp barrier as a massive blinding LED yard flood lamp came on in the slashing rain blinding me totally for six or so seconds as I stared to drives of the greasy weighbridge ramp.
So I had to find an other £25 to make the £ 100 motability excess insurance as I've had to make a claim for the damage . ( A mere two weeks after getting the car back from massive motorway pothole damage one evil windy slashing rainy Sunday night ) .Absolutely nothing!!
Saved a fortune today due to not being taken in by all this "Black Friday" nonsense and consequently not spending money I don't have on tat that I don't need. Unlike the countless muppets who caused tailbacks on the A66 this afternoon while queueing to buy the aforementioned tat at Teesside Park.
Living proof of the old addage about a fool and his money are soon parted...

An Eskde 52cc multitool. Hedger, pole saw, extension pole, trimmer and a metal brush cutter blade.
Quite happy with the quality, all seems pretty good. The engine unit is quite a bit heavier as its 52cc so should have plenty of power. I'll be using hedger mostly but most are around 25cc.
The trimmer harness, I havent worked out how to put it on yet, its a bit different to the Stihl ones.
I plan to see if I can use the attachements powered by a light brushless chainsaw as the power unit. Making up a splined socket shouldnt be too hard!
I did look at getting a proper Echo combi kit, petrol or battery, but with just an extension and hedger they were over £1k.

One of my worst days of my life.
On past week I've been working on a porch ceiling at work installing new lamps.
Strong winds not enough clothes it was really cold.
The day after went to the dentist and the suction pipe irritated my throat as the air was way too cold too.
Ended up getting a very bad cold.
Coughing, my nose dieing, head ache, fever plus the dusty environment at work didn't help too.
But having responsibility at work, yelling to my colleagues as they say my voice is too low of volume and they don't ear me or understand me .
Went to work this morning completely destroyed in these conditions.
Did my five hours shift then went home for lunch, didn't eat as reflux was killing me.
I've stayed home in the evening and skipped the remaining 3 hours to call the working day off.
Reflux and continuously producing saliva with the cough the nose etc.
Ended up to the hospital to get medications for the nausea and stop the reflux.
Vomiting air all the evening waiting over there, got an injection, few compresses of anti acids and anti emetic.
Came out and vomited again.
Came home with my chest hurting like if I had a fire pit inside me.
Well managed to calm down little bit and it seems way better now but sat a goal and challenge to myself.
I've once quit smoking for a year or so but failed and restarted because I've been weak and life brought to me a borderline girlfriend, friends passing away, COVID, a retarded nephew a suicide uncle and a stressfully life overall.
Not trying to justify but I decided to come to a end after 10+ years of cigarettes.
So today 30 November 2024 starts my challenge of quiting smoke before 2025 by reducing the number of cigarettes and telling my boss to reduce my paycheck if he sees me smoking at work.
As smoking made the passed day even worse than would be.
For the ones asking " I do prefer to die than to vomit"
