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

[Memmeddu]

Went to my local decathlon yesterday and bought new egies for the incoming squid fishing season

 

[Pete.]

Found a tin full of reamers at the boot fair. Normally I would pass these over as they are invariably blunt or dinged but this one caught my eye because I spotted ome taper pin reamers in there.

Paid £10 for the whole tin full and found 22 of those taper reamers plus a taper drill for pre-drilling the holes too!

Free bike.
I had to walk it home from the pub.

That is an older picture of the red vice on the bench
It was salvaged from a Rec Yard, in this state.

Chilled wine with lunch.
Lunch was:
Tomato soup, with croutons,
Then 1/2 rack of BBQ ribs, Chicken breast, Chips, peas, carrots.
Followed by, Triple choc brownie and ice cream.
Coffee and no wafer thin mint.

Yesterday a package arrived with a used disc lock I got from that well known auction site. Unlike the Granit 68 lock I acquired recently, this one actually fits my Honda 750x bike.

Don't forget to take it off before you move off. Most embarrassing if you don't.

Acquired this on Friday-


It does the job, but I'm not a fan of the switch being at the opposite end from the spinny bit :/

I don't really understand what you mean about the switch , it'a a paddle switch and under the tool it's meant that you can't accidentally turn it on unless it's firmly gripped in the hand

I prefer to hold die grinders near the work end, so to work the switch in that position I need to move my hand position to work the safety latch, then hold it not quite where I'd prefer to.
