Picked a couple more of these up today, from Aldi.
Got one pack last week. They weren't priced up though, so didn't know how much they were until I saw the receipt. £3.99. Hence, grabbed a couple more packs today. Daft not to get some, at that price, & if they're owt like the Lidl ones I picked up a year or so ago, they're actually not too shabby.

I looked and didn't! Test them for me and if they are any good I'll pick some up next week
Not that they will have any next week

We were camping with grandkids years ago and a couple of dads were with their kids flying kites at the top of the field. We hadn't brought ours with us and the shops were shut so we gave them a carrier bag with guy line tied to the handles. It didn't fly unless running with it so they were up and down the field like a greyhound. Next thing one of the dads was down asking if we had any more carrier bags as their kids wanted in on the fun.
You learnt the easy way. I used to watch a programme called Ripcord. I’m sure many on here will remember it. I loved the way they strapped a parachute to their back and floated to the ground. I can tell you from the experience of a young child that if you put on an old canvas haversack and jump out of a bedroom window it hurts twice. Once when you hit the ground and the second time when your dad smacks you for landing in his flower bed.

The Yihua arrived yesterday. I tried it today and the soldering iron side doesn't work.
Quite disappointing as it looks a great unit.
It is going back tomorrow.

Many years ago when I was into skydiving one of my mates had an action man type doll with a parachute , he dropped it at around 2,000 feet after he has opened his canopy . It might have been the highest action man opening?But that just takes the fun out of the "die or survive" question.
Certainly beats mine going out of the bedroom window.

A rather poorly Denford/Viceroy sander.
Picked it up relatively cheaply, which was just as well as it seems to have a few issues.
Table removed for transport, but some bits are broken and missing.
Will pop up a new thread on it to save cluttering here - but has anybody else got one?

I’ve got the scribe set too and it’s a good bit of kit. Not sure if you knew but you can get the pencil separately, Screwfix do them at £10 but no refills

Yea my electrician had just the pencil....I think the scribe will be very useful for things like oak flooring. He said that the Amazon generic leads also work with it and they're a lot cheaper than the tracer leads
