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

[Blue Chips]

I'm not even certain where my TIG is, I put it somewhere safe a few years ago...

Even worse, I sometimes stumble across something that I had forgotten I owned because I put it somewhere "safe." And by the time I re-discover it, I've already bought another one. That's one of the great contributing causes of redundant tools...and lectures from spousal unit as well, since she seems to be able to remember everything that I've ever purchased.

My wife-prompted new year's resolution (one of them): "Stamp out and abolish redundancy!"

A power ratchet is one of my favourite go-to tools for tight spots. You should get lots of use out of that.

Let us know how you get on with that. I am trying to decide between this and the straight up 3/8" drive impact wrench.

I had the same dilemma and most reviews of actual usage went with the long teach reach over the impact due to the fact it can be used as a ratchet where as the impact just rotates freely. The head size makes it more usable too over the impact and the length of it offers plenty of leverage if you need to break lose a bolt.

Hopefully now I’ve bought I’ll be able to confirm the above.

Looks like it's had some reinforcing done in the past already. With the plates on the outside of the brackets?

By me,3 years ago,tomorrow I’m going to check all the pins are parallel,make sure they’re not fighting each other.
I’ve seen them driven over bumpy ground with a 1m diameter oak butt in the jaw,7m long!

Big shovel/forwarder driving it then, or on a 360?

She had 30 or 40, caréers, nurse, doctors, then they became non PC.

All the more reason to collect them

It actually arrived saturday morning but I only opened it up today...

I put a couple of sets of the ceramic figurines on Ebay, the band / musicians were ok and the sale was completed. The football players were deemed to be a depiction of slavery, the listing was pulled by ebay and my account threatened with suspension if they were to be re listed. Which is odd as there are loads of other Robertson promotional items both old and modern, I can only assume it was flagged by a snowflake and triggered ebay's auto ban hammer.

Absolutely disgraceful, but unfortunately a sign of these PC and woke times

I'm about to relocate the contents of a seatrain container from overseas at my storage facility to my new garage. Should be interesting to rediscover all the things I've forgotten we have.

Er16 collet set and shortwave IR heating lamp. Bloody hell it chucks out a lot of heat, lights up the whole room red!

I have both and personally the m12 3/8 impact is better and faster

Todays haul:

8" rotary table
10" rotary table
8" indexable chuck thing
And the star of the show, a nice 6" Kurt vice.

All in good order, replete with a nice crust of easily cleanable sminge and WD40.

I also got this old dog:

Yes, I know... but it was cheap.

Yeah, I'm quite pleased with it. Bloody emptied my wallet though!

It's from a guy who does machinery moving & clearing - says he's got a boat load of cutters and such coming in next week. I told him to drop me a few pictures...

 

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

A box of bits...soon to be a box of fun. Going to make a little arcade game rig...assuming I can figure it all out (also part of the fun of course).

Even the cat was excited too....until it turned out not to be food.

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten you, or seadog.
