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

I hate watching a Youtube video and spotting a useful looking tool because I have to have one then

A set of trim clip removal tools arrived today, only a few quid thanks to Black Friday prices.

Bought a set of those last year and they have proved incredibly useful. Did you set include plastic pry bars?

Ooh what model , had a Ti many years ago girlfriend at the time threw it sideways into a ditch and it was written off, she wasn’t my girlfriend for much longer

This one:

It's rustier than I thought. And takes up much more room than I thought, so I must think of creative ways to put things on and in it without damage to either the things or the shell, or get rid of some stuff to free up space.

Bonus photo in that two of the wheel dollies I mentioned above were used at the back. Move would have gone better if there wasn't a 2" step down from the garage it has been resting in for 10+ years, and if it hadn't rained, causing the shell to get wet for the first time in that time.

No, I already had the plastic ones.

As I've practically switched to LXT batteries, that's the first gadget.
Got a a discount for it and paid 16 euro

It takes household E27 LED bulbs and it has a little potentiometer to adjust the brightness.
It will see more fishing than work but definitely handy to have around

So many air fittings.

The Claw fittings are intended for:
• Connecting the compressor to the pipework,
• Providing connection points for my ¾ impact & the wet-blaster I occasionally borrow, and
• Letting me connect tools that need unlubricated air via a Claw to XF converter hose.

The XF fittings are for the spray gun, grit blaster, plasma, and blow-guns to stop me accidentally hooking them up to a lubricated air supply.

The remaining standard PCL & ¼ BSP hose tails are to make up whip hoses for the various tools, after it became apparent that I have a lot of them, and making my own would be a lot cheaper than buying pre-made.

I still haven't gone to dig out the pipe and fittings though...

lista

+1, Lista, the best. Auctions of closing industrial sites used to be a gold mine for them, it was the tooling kept inside them that buyers wanted.

VFD with 380V 3ph output.

For a cheap Chinese unit I was surprised it came with a 169 page user guide. In English! Maybe they copied it from somewhere.

Toshiba or Mitsubishi I can't remember what's fitted on the Serdi valve seat cutter at work but the manual it's very similar to it

 

[MetalMonkey]

Seems remarkably well built for the price - "UUCap", I'm sure aren't the best brand of capacitors, but time will tell on longevity.
Tested OK, which is a good start.

Not today but only 2 days ago collected this lot from Anglewolf - Top man.
Next on the list is a small forge.

What I didn't get was more O-clips...

Got about halfway through making off all the connections when I ran out.

A household bulb would run at mains AC voltage and most AC lamp dimming circuits will use phase control (RC network and TRIAC) to adjust the brightness. I doubt the gadget outputs mains voltage so does it require a special low DC voltage version? I had a look online and could see nothing mentioned about the output voltage or specification for the bulb.

Led light bulbs will light on even on eddy current (ever had a strobe bulb? )
They probably just use a first generation led bulb without filter circuit in it which keeps them off on older electrical layout

Forgot to write
We'll see when it arrives, I seriously doubt it has a miniature inverter in it.
You might be right about the special bulb but a step up converter would fit in it too

Finally got the DTW700 clone.
Tested and destroyed a socket provided with the DTW300 clone.
It feels like a better tool than the DTW300 clone I've got first.
I'm not talking about the power because that's obvious but about the material quality feel a lot better.
I only need to solve a little problem with the battery interface on the unit as it doesn't allows Makita style batteries to fit all the way in and catch the detent.
I think it's because the solder protruding from the connecting plate.
I've had to clean it too as it came covered by what look like wall paint.
Normally I'd would have got a replacement or a refund for it but the seller has been very kind through the process of solving the delivery problem I've just made him aware about without asking nothing more
Anyways

Series IV or V? I had a V GT many years ago. I did quite a bit of metal work on it including bulkhead, front wings and sills. Cracking little cars.

View attachment 474818Pulled this off a scrap machine at work today. Lovely cast ali plate. It looks for all the world like it could be off a Russian submarine or tank. Itll look good on the wall in the shed.

A machine for making shoes apparently...
Maybe Russian shoes?

 

[MetalMonkey]

"Black friday" haul from Zoro - mostly just some paint and consumables but i also picked up this little guy.
I've got the bigger shaviv handles, but wanted something smaller for popping in the tool pouch for that odd time you need it.

Aye thats right mate. They make bespoke surgical shoes where i work. Its an Italian machine i believe. The plate looks very cold war Russian however.
