[Van_Denton]

[dobbslc]

For topping up me batteries!

Found at my dads house during the cleanup! How much?

 

[dobbslc]

And now the charger...
Again check out the price!

 

[arther dailey]

a lot of modern chargers have electronic overide that decides to turn off if it considers battery to be dead rather than just flat, that one wont,its a keeper..

 

[Van_Denton]

Picked these up, can someone teach me about them?

How much? The price is on there 2/6 topping up fluid for batteries, ...... That was expensive water.

 

[slim_boy_fat]

That's would be 13p nowadays.

 

[dobbslc]

I'll keep the charger and I've also spied a large plastic container that'll do for a derusting tank....

Probably more like four quid, if the inflation calculator is on the ball (or should that be the money?)

the 2 larger wheels on left lid a polisher wheel and gringing wheel for a bench grinder ?

Yes, possibly contaminated with a virulent strain of carbootalightus. Re package and sent them to me , I will decontaminate and dispose of them for you.

2x 6" Paramo g-clamps in near mint condition
A Morris Jenbro 641 valve spring compressor
A record 120-10 g-clamp, threaded shaft slightly bent. Got a shock when I looked at the new price - £60!
A rubber hammer - now where did I put those glass nails!

Also bought this vintage air compressor.

 

[Dieselman 63]

Those paramo clamps are very tasty, nice score

Car boot and a rummage in a box resulted in this for virtually pence

:

Turn the handle and what feels like a spring loaded hammer hits the shaft inside, have never seen one before.

 

[sparkysy]

^^^^ I've seen one of those before when I was an apprentice, but not for many a year! Cleaver bit of kit for the time, before those was a small punch with a cross cut end that you hammered and turned by hand to make the hole for the plug how long must that of taken!!!
Thank goodness for modern drilling equipment!

That is a good find.
I have only seen them for sale in shops for daft amount of money.
My father in law says they were a good tool in their day.

The drill bit on that looks the same as the "twist and wallop" Rawldrills that I remember as a kid. I may even still have one somewhere.

...and there's good reason why.

I found one at my dads a while back, and foolishly thought it would be fun to give it a go, I dont think I'll live enough to drill a hole
