Late Christmas present!!

I'm conflicted - these are pretty small, would be good for tight spaces and dropping in the back pocket, but not much to hold on to. Next size up (250mm) is a lot bulkier though. Hmmmm.

I was just thinking have you got huge hands or is that a tiny tool

That's what she said.

Picked this lot up as an impulse buy, bit rusty but the price was fair - came with a load of steel.
Chap reckoned there was two sets - I can see some bits from the practical workshop package and the strip worker.

Need to go through it all and clean it up.

Not sure if I'm missing anything and if I can order any bits for it.

Nice. Good few bob there.

I'm guessing Metalcraft would be able to sort you out with any bits you may possibly need.

A 14mm long impact socket and 20mm wire brush. Hopefully I'll be able to shift the corroded bolt to get my left hand crash bar off.
All I need now is to borrow a cordless impact gun

Not enormous bricklayer paws lol but not small! This one is 180mm overall and there just isn't quite enough handle for my liking.

Fetch it down here Graham - use my rattle gun

Thanks, Andy. Have you got a van that I can put it in?

 

[Morris]

Thanks, Andy. Have you got a van that I can put it in?

Can we look forward to a "how do I get my crash bars out of the van?" thread

 

[Windy Miller]

Thanks, Andy. Have you got a van that I can put it in?

Erm. No!

You could always ride it down?

Parts supply used to be good, not needed anything for a while.

A good catch

Looks like a right bundle.
I started off with the Master strip worker, bottom right.
I also had the twister thing and scroll maker. Played with them and sold them on.
The strip worker is a great bit of kit.
I only got rid of it when I bought the Power Bender.
All great gear and reliable.
Im sure Metalcraft stock spares for all their gear

I was on a site in Dudley doing some tiling, got talking to a plumber who told me to make sure everything I had was locked away or within sight at all times. He had been using a genny while using a core drill to put some holes in a wall for pipes, he stopped drilling, test fitted a pipe and picked up the drill to start another hole, drill went click so he thought he had run out of fuel, went outside to find the genny had grown legs and was nowhere to be seen.

That used to be very common on multimillion £ sites where you'd be plugged into your genny 30 mtrs away down two flights of stairs. Friday afternoons being the worse time for such thefts as subbies packed up and picked up your genny in seconds

Harsh justice.

But effective

As I have some garden structures to build...

I imported a decent air nailer from Temu. already had a 20 cu ft compressor and two hoses plus inline oil and moisture filters .
Just got 1000 stainless 2" nails in rolls of 100 . Need to keep the gun lubed .

I did it again, couldn't help myself. Another project.
Don't even know what make it is. I'll know next week when I collect it from the auction site.
I've been hunting for a small 230V one for ages. Won this one at an auction just now for €72 all in.
Auction site is about 25/30 minutes down the road, so fairly close by.

One of these, pretty impressed with it for the money https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DXDTP1VD?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

Yet another Turkish PCP, super accurate, well made, nice walnut stock and punchy just below FAC, no where near the 5x price of the higher makes but nearly or as good, bit like the rolex thread...



Keep running out so super sized the order, mug for scale, swear this tuff is no where near as hot as when I used to poison my fellow 5 yr olds with it.
