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

[JOEPRO]

You have hidden the sellers name, I assume they have other good stuffs

I have been told off before for leaving names or user names on screenshots by mods before So now I be responsible and always blur out personal information

You need 15 amp plugs for that.

Its got a 63a plug on the cable and each output is 10a, the manual says it draws like 10w in idle so perfectly fine to test with a 13a plug in spliced into the terminals which confirmed it's working.

Friend is an ex dj (now pilot) and has used them so said safe to power test on 13a.

Well, if I'm not mistaken, they're BS546 15a round pin sockets.

I have a number of new plugs for that, B&Q had them in a clearance bin. I thought it was worth just for the brass content.

Ohh now I get what you're talking about lol, I was just using the 13a plug as a reference for how big the 63a is - can almost fit it inside!

Today I acquired a bit more Temu tat.

A couple of hitting sticks

Some lynch pins, trim removal pliers and some body bolts/clips.

 

[MetalMonkey]

Expensive plastic boxes.
Although in fairness these are far less expensive then the "branded" ones, especially as currently on special offer at screwfix and I had a voucher as well.

Fairly impressed so far.

Cons - not as robust as the better brands, lids a little flimsy and only stand-alone, they don't match any toolbox system.
The interlocking mechanism is just a couple of chintzy plastic clips, unlike the metal bars on the keter/magnusson/erbaurer/ridgid/jcb box system.
I think these are also made by Keter.

However, for the price you are getting a fair amount of storage space, decent removable bins and surprisingly sturdy box - really hard to knock it tbh.
Comparably priced units appear to be made of margarine tubs, these have decently thick plastic.

 

[brewdexta]

Not all arrived today but it's the first chance I've had to look at it given I've been laying concrete behind the barn.

First, a PCL mk4 tyre inflator.

Next a 3" angle grinder/cut off tool thingy.

Finally some multitool consumables, lots of rigger gloves and I thought I would try Screwfix MIG gloves. The rigger gloves are to stop me using my MIG gloves for all and sundry.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I was a bit jaded, due to a bad beer.
So I was not that enthusiastic about the car boot I was invited too.

The good coffee, was good, but poor pickings.

So I spent £5 and got another vice.

 

[Ace Paul]

3 packs

That rings a bell. Is that the American rapper that’s meant to have been shot in1996?

Today I acquired a bit more Temu tat.

None of it has really proven to be actual tat so far, for me. Your stuff holding up okay?

Same here Matt, no issues with any of it. Great place for draw filling stock at a fraction of the price, only downside is some of it takes a few weeks to arrive.

I've never ordered from temu as though stuff will probably never arrive, might give it a go as need 300 ~6x4x1.5" boxes and whenever I search Google all I get is ads for temu

Had a fair few oddnsodds off there now, only one item was a no show and that was down to being out of stock, got the refund without asking. Also rate the tracking, you can keep an eye on shipping/postage progress very easily.

Just had a look, could get 300 boxes for ~£56 however when you look at the purchased pics they're really thin crap and come just in a plastic bag... Oh well will stick to the £80 for uk boxes that look a lot better!

 

[BrokenBiker]

The only thing i seem to have acquired today is a list of things that need making

How would you rate the Hitting Sticks, are they soft blow?

 

[Jaeger_S2k]

Where am I going to secrete this, without it being too obvious that it's arrived?
Haven't got the gantry painted and rebuilt, either. Have been away, collecting a fence for repurposing (another post).

CM Lodestar electric chain hoist 110V max 3000 kg

It's to go with this ...

Checked with my Engineering friend (Civil Engineer) and he said the following about the beam.
From the information you have provided and assume the steel is grade S275 then no it will only take 2.28tons. If the steel is grade S355 the load is 2.58 tons, both allowing for a load factor of 1.6. If you assume the peak capacity without any factor of safety, the beam will take 3.2 tons.

If this was actually designed as a crane then this could be to a higher grade of steel, which I would need the grade to ascertain its capacity.

But he also suggested, because we can't confirm the grade of steel.
The steel grade should have been with any documents/ service logs with the crane. These are a requirement of the lifting Regulations

. However, in the absence of any information we would have to assume the lowest grade commercially available at the time of Fabrication, ergo S275

So despite the electric winch having a 3 ton capacity, you should restrict to 2 tons – which equates to a Range Rover.

Do you really need something this big?

Probably not, but you never know.

Yeah, I know, I've got the manual chain lift, but I really want to be doing as little as possible, I'm in the 'Old Git Club' and taking it easier because my body is telling me to, or as easy as possible, hence the electricary lift.

Those things are thousands and you got the long chain too. I just had to weld up the end casing on one after I borrowed it from work and dropped it a little bit. Lots of gubbins inside that case.
