Another box.
It had no bubble wrap.
But this will help.

Gits. 
Gave my previous 24" pry bar to my sister, so thought I'd nip in quick & pick up a replacement. You all know what it's like, when you're looking at a racked assortment of tools. The 14" was just too cute not to get.
Those Gorilla bars really are good kit. The shallower angle on the ends makes them more useful than crowbars, & the shape of the shaft really does mean they'll take some hellish weight/stress without bending.

I think I must be the gorilla as I broke the 24” one removing a motorbike ground anchor. As you say they don’t have any bend in them so instead of flexing and returning to shape they just snap.

Some bits for the Jeep
Ordered from Rock Auto on Monday evening and arrived this afternoon. To be honest their delivery is usually pretty good but to get them here from the USA that quick over the Christmas break is impressive and still cheaper than buying in the UK

I didn't upload a picture on yesterday
Here's the komby
Something I could never expect is how lightweight it is.
I'm used to cheap Chinese brush cutters and even some other brand name one, this thing is a feather, feels like you aren't holding anything really

It will probably only see the brush cutter attachment for now.Try using the longreach hedgecutter attachment on it for a hour or two. Your arms won't think it's light then.
Maybe a pruner.
I have access to other komby (not Stihl) that's more about the rabbit hole @JOEPRO was talking about

Couple of things:
Amazon haul:
I never seem to have enough plugs and bungs for blanking off holes and tubes, and for some reason they seem to be very expensive to buy the "proper" ones.
I thought I'd give these a try, a cheapy kit of silicone taper bungs, and some lab stoppers for the bigger sizes. Also a couple of reels of Tesa tape to make up the order.
Forum FOMA.
Was eying these up for a while but prompted by the recent thread to have a search about and found one of these on eBay, tool, 20 inserts and some spare bearings for under 25 quid.
Seems to work OK, tried it on aluminium and steel - the exhaust position is a bit annoying but otherwise tool seems solid enough.
It can be a bit tricky to get a nice chamfer as the base of the tool is quite small so it does have a tendency to tip.
The main limitation seems to be how thick the material has to be in order for the bearing and the cutter to be in contact.
Too thin material or too large a chamfer and the material can drop into the gap between the bearing and the tip of the cutter.
I do have a project in mind where it will be useful though, when I eventually get around to it....
