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

[Kayos]

Same but different to the Raleigh.

Probably go 7 speed with a 46t front as I now have a "spare"
It has 650 wheels so change to 26"
Full service, new cables and another set of those white mudguards, I will try and de-rust and reuse as much as possible

Then sell it

Won a lightly used long reach Carver with the wrong jaw (unless it was meant to be like that?) on ebay for the start price, allowing for the correct jaw cost it will still be a bargain.

 

[Kram]

More heatsink tape than I could ever use for 9 quid a roll (send a message if you could use some).

Mt2 reamers, in a nice box, sharp enough they have sliced the rust paper and they have cleaned them up after heat treating.

Thought Id take another risk with amazon... 16piece er25 collet set for £6. I will update in a few days if its any good.

Paul, I've been on the lookout for a descent set of these too, where did you get your set from?

 

[daedalusminos]

eBay hence the concern, but the price was OK

If you are anything like me and have calculators in the shed/workshop, you will know they have a tough time being operated with manky hands, and put down in coolant, etc carelessly, normally when you are in a hurry. My last casio died last year, so i made a note to pick up a new one. I was in the newsagents/stationers today and they were all expensive and made by sharp, a brand i am not that fond of. So i left it and went into Tesco to get bread etc.

I happened to be passing the stationery aisle and seen the calc's, 4 euros each for these. That cannot be right i thought, so i asked a passing staff member, "Oh yes, thats the price alright". Still not convinced, i took one to the help desk and asked for a price scan, yup 4 bills. So i bought a few of them as you can see. Already given 2 away to my nieces who have exams coming up.

Surely 4 quid cannot be correct ?

My local Mr. Price store has a nice selection of Casio's too. Might be worth your while checking there as well if there's a branch near you.

The £5 delivered DTI from amazon. Feels decent, perfect for what I need, so l can put my Mitutoyo safely away and use this for most things.

Amazon has some sellers with crazy pricing at the moment, there will be others. It is either to get reviews or some kind of minimum sales quota to stay in prime? I dont understand it as its not just prime.

Crimper and crimps set should be here tomorrow, £4 by hermes

[Hood]

Today this arrived from the USA

 

[MattF]

What is it?

 

[MattF]

Came through last week, but only got round to opening it yesterday.



Hallmark metric ⅜" impact sockets.

Annoyingly, can't seem to find out if they do an imperial set too. Be nice to cover both.

 

[Hood]

What is it?

100amp plasma machine torch. New style with quick release head, so no need to replace/remove lead if the head gets damaged and needs replaced.
