Stuff you have fixed today

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

This is what I replaced and fixed.

But I suspect a few can guess what it was.

I am not allowed to post the new item, as due to what site I am working on, it would be criminal.

But, the good thing about that unit.
Despite the damage it still worked.

Smoke alarm?

It is an Ex Smoke detector.

It has ceased to be.

a decent spring compressor makes the job far easier and safer , if the top nut is siezed an inverter heater is handy although I have drilled down two sides of the nut and used a chisel to splt the nut in the past

Ended up having to cut the nut of the top of the strut it was to far gone. The compressor I have does the job, but by no means the best.

Also shaving them.

Not till June.

It's the squeegee that has me wondering. How big are your legs?

That's for smoothing the hair on my back.

My Milwaukee K900 breaker, was bought from an auction and didn't work it only cost me about 90 quid so not a big loss, checked all the power places that might have issues etc, got to the brushes, and one of them had been played with and was fitted so that it didn't reach the armature, the spring rather than pushing it in, held it out. 20 seconds later its working, 15 minutes later its all back together.

Busy today!
New hinges on the barn style front door, never realised how badly brass hinges wear out....no need to bang the door shut now!
Polished the car headlights with a kit off Amazon, Honda CRV with 220K on it and the plastic headlights looked sand blasted and yellow. One hour of drill polishing and they look great, well worth doing.
Removed a leaking sink, had to get the propane torch on the tap nut to loosen it off and re-tighten it. Why is it that pedestal sinks are so bloody difficult to work on...grrr.
Then removed the supply and overflow pipes from a new old temporary WC in the new house, washers gone hard and crispy and leaked like a sieve yesterday. Such fun.
While working on the car tried to fix the engine management fault caused by glow plugs, proving difficult to find that one so a fail there today.
Finally worked on demolishing a Chinese take away!

Hellermans rubber sleeve placer. Actually, a very useful piece of kit for tidying up battery cable ends, but the price of a new one is eye-watering. I'd have one if I could find it at a bootsale for example.

Put some tread on non-rotating Karcher wheels today, never went round from new, they work well now, first experience of gorilla glue, weird stuff, **** to apply.

Yesterday fixed a hardly used karcher compact destined for skip cos brother did not have the right bit to open it up, just a stuck internal on/off actuator.
He nearly binned our old boys Seiko watch as could not be bothered to get a battery for it - pointed out it was a solar, bit of light on the window sill off it goes
