That looks very much like a 3 ton Machine Mart one, so the parts list picture might give you a clue as to the pump body layout...A mate left this with me as spares / repairs..
seems to be a well built unbranded 2.5t jack, problems are a stuck valve in the body and stripped splines where the lock / unlock shaft fits inside the handle.
View attachment 520611
Any suggestions why the valve has stuck or how to free it?
I was using it and the valve was ok, mate used it and now it’s seized. We tried hammering the toothed cog to free the valve but it’s not moving.

Some bits to entertain me for the next 24 hours. Just had minor surgery to reset a bone in my hand.

Today I did not aquire my new M12 rotary tool. I had ordered yesterday before their advertised 7pm cut off. I now remember, they use DHL. I should have used Amazon instead, it would have been only a couple quid more.
This morning I got a tracking, that said collected. It now has changed to "will be collected, before 18:00".
I assume the fact it is near 18:00 and has not been collected, means I'm unlikely to get it tomorrow either.

We will see if Amazon is as good as they proclaim to be.
Having six new to me doors put in the bungalow by some friends who know each other and have been chippies for donkeys years . Some doors had to be cut to a smaller width .
First time I've taken notice of the use of a Makita track saw and track saw guide .
Door hinges all set the same spacing , Original doors didn't have any set the same from the floor , one bottom hinge was 15 inches from the bottom of the door , several top hinges were close on 17 inches from the door tops .
All doors nicely hung , I nipped out & purchased 38 mtr of 12mm x 19mm door stop trim , as we discovered three doors only had 8 or 10 mm thick stops and due to crap fitting of the original doors they were way out of vertical & looked like bananas . Got back with the stops to be told , " Dave we have a problem "
The latch inserts for the doors was too long for the cut down stiles of the new doors , originals were all sorts of sizes .
So I've just ordered five 30mm latches from Amazon at £6.50 or so each , delivery supposed to be by lunch time tomorrow ..We will see !

Felt well & confident enough to venture far beyond the porcelain convenience today 
, and went for a ride up to our local " Shed " Charity Shop; where I spied a bunch of random tools in a big plastic bin. 
I came away with a 30mm & 100mm hole saw, a 300mm long Bahco shifter wrench, a Mason's chisel, a13mm ratchet end wrench, and a specialized combination tool; for something I think is valve related ?

I don’t like bi hex for use on bleed nipples, which is why I’ve never got myself a set of those. I always use a Sykes Pickavent bleed bottle and hose that must be well over 35 years old, the connector on the hose is still a good fit even on the smallest of bleed nipples

Thanks for that.
I'll pass it on to my Mechanic friend.At my age now, I don't do any major work on my vehicles nowadays.
Frankly, I don't know why I am still buying tools ?

Red was the only one I could find of a decent standard in quality, brushless. £140 is a bit excessive for chainsaw sharpening tool but it should work very nicely. It is extremely light under 600g with battery fitted. Nearly 10x what the lidl one cost but should last atleast 1000x longer.
I'd have never bought it for any other purpose but a full size 18v Fakita die grinder is far too big and heavy for this use (1.7kg battery fitted).

40Max to TAGINN barrel adapter for 40Wad airsoft grenades.
The thing is meant to be fitted on this, which I've got on AliExpress
it screws in place of the polished aluminum barrel Wich is too short, too little bore diameter and it's a smooth barrel.
While this thing is rifled and 35.7mm inner diameter
Got a few rounds too
2 Dummy/ training rounds and 2 explosive ones.
I've got parts for the rifle in the mail
So buffer tube, and bushmaster stock for the M4A1
A dozen of CO2 cartridges and an adapter to use them to fill those grenades.
Hopefully everything will work and it'll be good enough to project those rounds at 100ish meters.
Which is still low range compared to the TAGINN shells but those are 3 times more expensive than this contraption
