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

[Blobber]

A dandy thing that limbo's down to 15mm. It is accurate enough for certain. I bought two, one is a gift to a friend, I bought a 120M measure that has a painter function, real dandy, also a measure pole for fitting between floor and ceiling. They threw in two pocket inclinometers and two pair of green glasses. I have not measured the line width yet, looks to about 1.4mm, same as my older Huepar.

I paid €170 each while they were having their bogus black Friday deals. They do have regular promotions that shave €70 off the full price which is currently eye watering £250, UK prices are near enough exchange rate parity promo or no.

A nice set of scales, grabbed before they went in a skip, because "We've lost the plug".



Probably stick it on eBay when I can be bothered, I've already got a similar scale which I never use.

I bought the air version about 5 years ago & guess what, I’ve never used it! At the same time I bought the air sheet metal shears & found them really good. I expect I’ll use them some day.

I could take your Nibbler off your hands and put it on the same shelf as my plasma cutter….. which is also unused. Does the phrase “ that’ll come in handy” spring to mind?

Thats right, as the saying goes " failing to prepare is preparing to fail", applies to tools as well

Recently acquired a lifetime’s and a bit bag of spirabands and a Epco porta power. Might be able to get it out of the car in the next week and check if it works, but it was cheap and local.

I'm sorted & successful for most situations then.

I don't know if I should put this here or in the things that impress me.
I designed this pcb on Wednesday and submitted it to JLCPCB in the afternoon.
They turned up today. 5 boards produced and delivered from China in 5 days. £39 total cost.

Oh, I might have to go and have a look there, but perhaps not the best time of year. I was going to pop in on Saturday but I had alarm trouble with the car so the hazards were flashing, so I minimised my visits. I've got a few drill-mounted ones and an air one, but I don't use the air one much as it means running the compressor up. The electric one looks like it might be better than the drill one.
