That'll come up with a bit of scotchbrite

I was clearing out some old office equipment and decided the steel microfiche cabinet would be ideal for tool storage, so saved from the tip:

Starrett 18A, made in USA £15 on Amazon delivered.

Couple of old gin traps. A lad at work was clearing his father inlaws shed out and was going to scrap these. Then he thought of me. I love old stuff like this. View attachment 452063

Cool old iron but nasty stuff really.

I hope we have moved on from using such cruel devices.

What will you do with them?
Display piece?

Sado masichoism ? Spelling ???

Today I finally cashed in a £50 voucher work gave me for being there 2 years. Combined with a £7.51 credit note from Amazon, I managed to acquire a Sealey SMS2008 Drill Sharpener marked down on Amazon.

I was hoping for a lot (I really can't sharpen drills by hand!) Expecting it to be rubbish (Like every other drill sharpener I've owned)

OMG - It actually works!!!

Very impressed so far!!

Based on your review, I bought one too. Been considering one for a couple of years - delivered today, box in a paper sack, no additional packaging or protection . . . meaning some random loose screws in the box, case looked secondhand and the plug was bent!

Replacement on it's way, now I've got to walk down the post office to fire this one back.

Funny you should say that - mine wasn't even in a paper sack (Unusual for Amazon!) - just the box - with a loose screw in the bottom. It looked as if it had been repacked but at least the plug wasn't bent.

Oh aye i have no intentions of using them. Just intrested in the crude bygone engineering.

Trapping was part of life before food came in plastic packages, as not all small game was shot with gun. Different world we live in nowadays, but still a cruel one in many ways.

Looks a bit like a Myford ML7

I bought this to remove the inner track rods on my boys car. I wish I knew these existed when I did the Surf!


If it doesn't break it will be a great tool.

Looks interesting - how does it work?

 

[dobbslc]

You undo the outer track rod then slide this over the shaft, it then cams onto the inner track rod when you turn it with a breaker bar.

Ah I see. Same idea as a stud remover.
Nice. I like it!
