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

[Seadog]

A friend has had a clearout. Could I use any of his old tools?
Silly question.
Toolchest made by a carpenter at EverReady in Walthamstow. The knobs are battery terminals.
Sadly a bit of rust on some nice pieces, but they should clean up and be usable.

A few Britool sockets on the bar.

I was given this. But what is it? A swage block, perhaps?

Lego technics for adults?

 

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

Bought myself a new 4x4...just couldn't resist treating myself...that Lego technics for adults comment just reminded me!

Razor sharp, too

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

AQ few more items to fix some old oil lamps.

 

[Anguz]

my first of many (hopefully) monday off... i am now officially semi retired.. down to 4 days a week and see how i get on

 

[MattF]

Made the mistake of going into a Lidl.

One set of 3 for £14.99, or 2 sets for £20. It just had to be done.



Stackable, interlocking, organisers.

 

[Pete.]

I need to get some of those.

 

[MattF]

Very similar in size to the small Stanley Sortmaster. A comparison.





Main difference being, the compartments to the sides of the handle don't have a removable divider with the compartment above.

Feel quite sturdy, & they have proper clips on the front of the lid. The Stanley just has plastic tabs.

Today I acquired a vice for a tenner.

 

[Gregb23]

Nice set of 36" stilsons that Craig-SM very kindly collected and posted on.

3cx suitably stripped down and ram out, stilsons were just the job for the ram nut, wasn't tight but had nothing near that size to undo it.

Ram strip down and seal replacement still to do. Weighty things these rams.
