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

[KimB]

The time to buy a bargain is when you don't need it, because when you DO it's not available. [That's why I have so much 'stuff' taking up space....]

Exactly. It will be handy when I do need to use it I'm sure of that!

This 6600 turned up today.
Super rare can't wait to see if it still reacts.

 

[dobbslc]

It is.



It's the Bosch 12V worklight: https://www.screwfix.com/p/bosch-glideciled-12v-li-ion-cordless-led-work-light-bare/4064j

Now you've done it...

Not had much luck with Bosch 12v range.

I think I’ll go for a unilite if I get one

I've had the 12v range for over 6 years and have never had a failure other than dropping a drill from a good height that cracked the plastic chuck cover and the trigger speed controller on one after it got really wet!
Maybe the grinder is a bit juicy for the battery size
I've also got an angle drill, impact driver and mini circular saw, all great.

Went and collected the faceplate for my lathe View attachment 270649

Sure it's big enough?

The circular saw is impressive as to capability, for a 12V unit, isn't it. Love the planer too. So much easier to work with for finer work than an 18V or mains unit.

The saw is surprisingly handy for cutting up sheet material.

Finally splashed out on a nice Swiss made oil can:

I bought the same recently, works a treat and no leaks, first oil can I own that doesn't seep oil from more than just the intended orifice,

That’s smart. Hopefully you don’t mind me asking but was it expensive?

Relatively, about £30, though the plastic bottle versions are a little cheaper: link to Reilang Plastic oil can

It is a nice design, does not leak and works in any position, even upside down.

Little haul from up the road I was after the male and female torx set, 20 €, all the other bits were 5€ each, nice set for £45, the knipex and facom mole grips are about that alone each, like the little straight nosed mole grips, Petersen, USA.

Dumped in the allotment skip..

 

[redlig]

Exactly. It will be handy when I do need to use it I'm sure of that!

Or as I have based my life on "it will come in handy even if I never use it"

 

[cianh91]

Picked up the genny this morning as my old one the coil went and it was too heavy by meself

then called to me mate that’s a chippy and he’s all dewalt now so got a grinder and drill for free drill chucks a little stiff from lyin in the shed

 

[Tangledfeet]

Two items in particular this week, both from MJB Engineering - aka @Brad93 !

One of his basic grinder racks, something I've been meaning to acquire for ages. My 4.5" grinders fit perfectly even though he went out of his way to check and ensure they would do, he even contacted me last Saturday as he made it before he went away on business - I did tell him there was no rush but he wouldn't listen!

Also, one of his owls - a (late) present for my wife's elderly Aunt. Designed for outdoor mounting in a post or fence but I made a wee stand for it, with non-slip silicone feet, so she can stick it in a window inside.

Many thanks Brad, trust you've been able to get back to the UK from Ireland okay.

Finally got my new torch. Parweld say they supply plugs to fit any welder but not a transtig 350 it seems.

 

[Dieselman 63]

A great experience. A fun day out with my tractor at the show.

 

[Brad93]

Hi.
My mate is looking for that.
Really interested how it performed.

Powder is not that cheap for it.

But “haben ist besser als brauchen”

No they make big money on powder the likes of Eutectic and UTP.

Silicon Brazing Rods thanks to @doubleboost

Don't need them but fancy giving it a go

Has the forum update confused the photos?

I wasnt expecting this to arrive. I'll have to get the tig out.
