Got it at Southern Manufacturing in Farnborough. Not actually sure what this company does (Fibre lasers presumably), I just saw these and had to have one.
Now, promise not to put that anchor back in there?

Cordless heatgun. Who'd buy such a thing.
Me for instance
- already shown here:The battery lasts a laughably short time and heat generation only through loss of electrical energy isn't particularly clever - in contrast to iductive heating -
but this thing is always at hand and doesn't need a cable.
Since I got this one, I don't think the corded heat gun has been used.

I noticed at some point in my small indoor workshop that I now have many good metal surfaces through lathe, drilling-milling machine, straightening-measuring table ... but if I have to strike on something, any of the mentioned surfaces prohibits itself for obvious reasons!
Mmmmh, what could you take if you want to straighten something, peen something round, drive out a pin ... if there was something ...
Right, a small anvil must come.
And because it is rarely limited to only one specimen with me, immediately some ...
Around 8kg - here still row.
Lately I have been quite busy, so I have hardly taken any pictures of my own, but the sellers had ...
What's interesting about this one is that the coating on the tip of the square horn is a bit chipped: I recognise brass underneath, I think - but what is the coating made of? It can be peeled off a little with effort, the flakes are hard, but the outer yellowing can't be with chrome - I haven't seen nickel darkening like that yet either ...?!?
The thing can't be silver plated, can it? I would expect chips from silver plating to be soft, not hard?!?
A small example of what we call an "English anvil" or "anvil, English form" with step - here also still raw.
And this working specimen, rather rough on the edges, but solid and with many possibilities, including round hole, upsetting block, round horn, square horn.
It started, as so often, with some crap from the Bay of Thieves - this time a dealer operating from the UK, whose first language, as it turned out, was certainly not English.
Crooked and askew, absolutely unusable in the state of delivery, impossible to find a fair agreement with the seller despite a lot of back-and-forth, several fraud attempts by the seller during the eBay case ...
... In the end, I got all my money back from eBay.de, including shipping, without having to send the stuff back.
- The consumer protection regulations are not bad at all ... where I life.

This arrived today - very compact nice little air sander, but sadly no longer U.K made.
Need to get some roloc pads for it that suit a 1/4 UNC thread.
Bit of an impulse buy - but at 96% discount from list price, you can't not!
