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

A bit chintzy but nice for £13!

Top lid is nice, drawers are a bit wobbly and rattly and can't be opened without the box coming with them. I'm sure once sockets and a little ratchet are in there, the weight will be enough that it doesn't move.

The box around the drawers is nice and solid.

No mug but a tin of chopped tomatoes for scale.

I might get one for my desk so I can tidy all the crap up that is scattered on there.

Strap wrenches. Did a task yesterday where my grip just wasn't enough to tighten something up enough, so ordered these.

Just used the small one, & it's done exactly what I wanted, without issue.

From a quick glance at available options yesterday, just picked the one which didn't appear cheesy quality. The handle does have a good sturdy feel to it, & the rubber strap is a decent thickness. I can see these getting quite a bit more use, in future.

There are similar cheaper ones on there, but the price alone makes me wonder as to their quality.

When the Albrech keyless chuck won't give up the drill bit I turn to a couple of these, Works every time.

Neighbour rescued this from the scrap pile at work they use brick grabs on the hiabs so these get chucked ! he knew i would like it its just 3x too big for my crane unfortunately my mate runs bigger stuff so will probably give it to him

I only just saw a YouTube vid of someone using a ground down bolt to do that exact same job.
