A close PRC copy of the Leatherman multitool tech and a genuine Leatherman bit set for my Wave+
This BIBury is physically a bit bigger than the Wave and really well made at 1/4 of the price, I'm impressed with it.
Also comes with 8 dual end bits and interchangeable Bosch type saw blades with a neat locating and locking and a spare set of cutters for the plier jaws.
The other thing they have not copied Leatherman on is the driver bits or retaining, going for a sprung ball bearing on their bits rather than the location notch on the flat driver bits Leatherman Wave use, personally I think this is a better idea as you can use a standard driver extension and regular bits.

Some bits from Temu.
Already have some of those snips. These are spares/extra. Cut things like brazing rod, stainless screws etc. like they're butter.
Those long cutters, first of that type I've tried. No issue going through a couple of short lengths of copper pipe cleanly though.

As I cycled home from the shed I noticed some metal shelving sitting at the side of the road with "Free" written on it. I don't need any shelving, I've already got as much as I've got space for. Obviously I decided to go back for it, at first I gathered some tools with the intention of taking it to pieces on the side of the road so it would fit in the car. Then I decided half the bolts wouldn't come undone and I'd be left with a problem, so as it's really close to home I decided to walk back to get it. This time, though, I remembered I've got a trolley at home, so I walked around with that.
It's not Dexion, it's a bit lighter weight than that, it is stamped NC Brown on the uprights. All I need now is somewhere to build them.

If you were closer - I've got a whole load of wider shelves for that stuff.
Work skipped the entire stores area shelving some years ago. So under my house, two sheds if fully equipped. Some of the angle section is reinforcing the tops of my prefab double garage panels. If I remember, 14mm 12pt socket fitted the square nuts - but there were two eras of shelving - some metric fastners, but still square nuts.
A numatic PPR370 vacuum which is the industrial version of a Henry. Tank is 15l vs 6l, 12.5m cable and has on body storage clips for the wand and accessories.
Only paid £10. Not running but it is a Numatic so cheap and simple to fix.
I have a good stock of Henrys for parts!
Single seat cast iron garden bench for our Men's Shed to refurbish.
The back has broken so I'll braze it up and add a reinforcing plate.
The guys have got good at refurbishing these with new timber. Last ones we did were with spalted beech and they sold like hot cakes.

There's a flea market in Todmorden every Thursday. There's always a few tools, one stall in particular is always worth a browse.
I was looking for some knackered dividers that I could steal the spring off to repair some other dividers. I ended up with a couple more items.
The donor calipers are on the right, they looked worse when I bought them with the screw bent. I've already taken the spring off of them.
The lot was 7 quid. I bought a second set of calipers
A pair of flat pliers, ideal for changing scalpel blades.
A brand new eclipse scribe with a blade at one end.
And here's the pair of calipers repaired with the donor pair.
The problem now is that I can see that the odd leg calipers may come in handy so I'll probably keep an eye out for another donor pair

After I semi-retired 3 years ago, a business opportunity has presented itself over the last year or so, so I've invested and set up another business...
Big investment,have you a market? Good luck.

Be aware (you may have been) that these "new" type 4Ahr ones are ONLY 20v not the 20/40 as per older type.
I did not realise this till I bought one and as I use them on the 40v grinders they don't work on them. It will still come in usefull for the other 20v stuff I have, drills and driver. Did note whilst purchasing this one that the shop also still had the old style 20/40v (£24) and some of the smaller (2Ahr?)(£15) 20v ones in a different section of the shop ! Which I thought odd at the time.
