After much debating and great advice, I ordered the wrong Magnet Wand for WitchieePoo.
Fortunately, came to my senses and cancelled the wrong one, and ordered this one.
Brill, WitchiePoo happy and I got away with a useful tool bought for her Birthday!

Amazons, they skipped my delivery yesterday so had to reorder and cancel.
I wanted an easy start recoil for my chinese combi engine. Usually hate the things, but should save ripping my arm off. Reviews were mixed so I ordered three and will return the most expensive as they break, they appear identical so I have no idea which was what.
A chuck. Its 1/2" unf which should fit my parkside drill, but I really would prefer a 3/8 UNF to fit the Fakita, but not many go upto 13mm.
Mini induction heater pcb, smaller than I expected and the board appears good quality. It should be adequate for warming bolts or shrink fits using a power tool battery.
Cheap cruicible to try, smaller diameter and taller than my others, that may allow me to get more heat in and then melt a quantity of brass.

I got mine from TEMU as part of a parcel of things to make the minimum sale post free , IIRC it was half the Trend price and it looks identicalTrend Corner Chisel. Heads up, that's actually a good price, there.

Couldn't resist, not just for the Makita 5143R, but that they were £170 for the pair.
The angle grinder is Makita GA9020S both are 110v.

Theres a few posts on it in the metal melter thread. This is the big one, watercooled with a 3kw 48v power supply and I have had 54 amps running through it before.
These resonant types will heat steel with no issue, but they will also heat pure graphite cruicibles like the one above, not so well however they dont have a curie point, so they heat past 750c.
40x40x70 lump of steel, took 20 mins to stop glowing.
Anyway these small ones should be good for heating bolts and small things, they need 20v+ so a tool battery is good for short use.

Apart from a resolve to cast up a BSA Bantam cylinder barrel of an entertaining sort, mostly the knowledge that a mate of mine knows someone who was likely the first person to engage in Morris Dancing in North Korea.
Quite a thing, is that.

A Johansson M41 gauge tools (accessories) kit along with an inspection grade metric block set, both unsused and still with wax. Cost nothing bar helping a will executor disperse some machinery in 2023. They make really good height gauges for repetitious work. There is more but I have to drive there to pick it up, the Johansson treat arrived by post.

If I'm not mistaken :-
It's not Amazon that owns or is selling the goods, it is a fulfillment centre .
The owner stores the good in Amazons warehouses for a small fee & when you buy from the seller , Amazon picks the goods off the shelf & dispatches them to you fulfilling the order on behalf of the seller , thus earning Amazon another fee.
That's how they get paid & taxed in a foreign country etc . at low rates .
The cost of setting up these semi automated warehouses is horrific and will take several years to pay for each building the bigger the building the more small fees they can earn from fulfilling the orders on behalf of the sellers .
I don't think they even get a look in as to the safety or origins of a product in their care . .

A useful quantity of shellac flakes , which will help to produce a finely sheened carapace on my next foundry pattern .

They don't care, that's about right.
But equally, I bet your local corner sell everything shop hasn't got a team of experts to assess the standards of every thing they sell - they will simply believe what it says on the tin.
