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

[Bullet2012]

Well, it was £2 in the British Heart Foundation charity shop, and they didn't know what it was either - how could I resist? So I acquired it. It's beautifully made, and one of those "leave it for my executors to figure out" items (I have a few of those...)

The four SHCS sticking up press on and close up leaves in the closer-together anodised frames, which start out smaller than the fixed end, nothing slides back and forth...

No, the wine bottle won't fit through...

Damned if I know what it is.

Impressed but not surprised.

As advertised in the back pages of the Sunday papers years ago.

I knew someone who admitted he sent for one, what he got was a brick & a piece of string

What did you do with the brick?

We wait for the bad words.

Those are supposedly a decent sharpener.

I have one like this in my household, but the maximum sharpening diameter is smaller and I am happy with its performance (but not the price). Chinese copies don't work. Editing and sharpening is done quickly and repeatably.

Not today but a couple of days ago, my wife presented me with some nice go faster stripes for my pick-up.........

`I was finally in the right place at the right time!
Picking up the tall cupboard, got offered the shorter - very heavy - trolley cupboard.
Absolutely perfect height for my Meddings.

As a home user I really like mine, though a lot of people will tell you to just learn to do them on a grinder, a very Marmite bit of kit.

I have a Sealey one I think @minimutly recommended it.

Very good bit of kit I use it alot. Gone are the days of having to buy more drill bits if one goes blunt.

All I know is that this piece of plastic with a motor sharpens the drills, forming the correct cutting edge and also sharpens the jumper in the second operation. And I get nice double shavings.

Can we please have a review once you’ve had a go with it?

I might have to get one, I really cant sharpen drills very well

Perhaps this video reflects reality. I bought my home sharpening machine about 12 years ago and there was very little information on YouTube and the instructions were terrible. Quite quickly I understood the logic and method of sharpening the drill and basically, I got 9 out of 10 without re-sharpening. These old drills, with broken edges, required attention and control

I have the same one...turns out if you just leave it in the box in a cupboard then it doesn't work!

....meant to be excellent I've heard

 

[Shox Dr]

Ooh Santa you really shouldn't have. Thanks




not here while April
