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

[Seadog]

Acquired yesterday but only got round to checking it just now, a zero88 betapack 3 dimmer pack for £7, working fine and nothing burnt out plus appear to go for £120-150 on ebay so since nobody else wanted it at the auction don't mind if I do

You need 15 amp plugs for that.

The cheapest M12 pipe cutter on ebay. Sparse description but it didn't say it was broken so I ordered it anyway.

I was very pleasantly surprised to find its in full working order when it arrived this evening. It's in great nick

A new flat roof.
Rains here tonight, so we will find out if it is waterproof!

Been peeing down here,
so far so good!

Next time it will be seen will be a bank holiday weekend on an A road somewhere, travelling at 35mph with a long queue of angry motorists behind saying caravans should be banned from the roads!

I used to tow one behind my 91 Lancia - the number of clowns, obviously confused by the K-plate on the van who pulled out to overtake up hill . . and had to drop back in - Garrowby Hill was a favourite to embarrass people.
Or people that just had to overtake . . and then proceed to hold me up, usually sorted by over-taking them!

Borrowed one from the other halfs parents - dragged it from Bamburgh to Brid - told her mum it's had been on two wheels sometimes . . . she looked a bit upset . . . her dad smiled . . . single axle caravan

I like a bit of prog rock. One of the best album titles ever: If I Could Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You

I liked in the land of grey and pink!

A tool I never thought would exist. A manual pipe cutter takes seconds

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

Faster
Easier on wrists
Gets into tighter spaces
One tool cuts all pipe sizes

What's not to love

 

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

Gets into tighter spaces

Main selling point....nothing worse than starting a cut and then realizing it ain't going to work. Then having to get out the multi tool...then the file!

What will it cut...15mm/22mm?

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?
