Doesnt roll off the tongue though, Basil the CaseI think you should call it Basil as if you squint the model number looks like it spells Basil.

Many things arrived in the mail in these days but I've managed to shot picture of those only.
Here we have all the die stocks arrived in the mail today
Starting with the pipe threader
Fully adjustable but, unfortunately I've only got 3/8" dies and guide bushing.
I might source for some to adapt or that might actually fit but it's pretty much a nonsense for me because already have a complete superego ratcheting threader.
So I believe that this thing will become a display item for the shop.
Anyways very nice piece of history.
Then this beauty, I've measured it but I can't remember the exact size but it's around 60mm capacity.
It came with a 1" pipe die
Then those
Homemade 38mm I'm gifting to a friend/colleague
30mm , homemade 25mm.
There is 35mm too I just don't remember which one is what...
Probably because I've made a group photo with the ones I've restored and others I've got
I'll restore all of them, and they most likely be caustic blued by the up mentioned friend.
Those are all the dies I've got today (including the ones on the die stocks)
Two 3/8" pipe
3/8" BSW
Unknown
7/8" BSW
Two 1/2" pipe
1/8" pipe
1" pipe
3/4" pipe
M12x1.75
Two M10x1.5
3/8" BSW
M6x1
Tap wrenches
Homemade gifted to my friend
Two #0
#1
Aluminum body ABC tools #2 gifted to my friend
#3
I've put the smaller ones into the diesel bath for cleaning and free them up, they need cleaning.
My complete collection 6" digimatic for scale.
Again restore and blueing.
Various manual taps sets
M12x1.75 in the blue box
Two M6x1, M7x1, M10x1.5 in the re boxes
Three 3/8" 16 UNC sets
Remaining ones are mostly unknown inches sizes
In the collection pictures are missing
Two cheap tap wrenches and dies stocks from the complete SAE set.
A Dormer 38mm steel die stock
Various dies stocks gifted by my friend before he passed in 2018 due to cancer

I got one in the 80's, there were 2 new ones in the stores at a place I was working, I asked the storeman about them, he said an engineer had ordered them in for a job a few years ago and they had never been used, he asked if I wanted one, silly question
I did give him a few beer tokens. Mine may get used every few years.

Yes it's one of those tools you don't need very often at all. Years maybe between uses but when you need it, It'll be great
I was looking at a Vevor one and nearly bought it a couple of weeks back in preparation for lifting my 2 post lift columns onto its bolts eventually but didn't buy it then spotted this USA one cheap so went for it right away after work.

Definitely a worthwhile acquisition, it's great how versatile they are and seem to be well made, mine must be nearly 18 years old and never been particularly well looked after, always used in mud or similar and always worked when needs must.

Few days away, slim pickings.
But I got a few things.
Pulled from the recycling bin at a Charity Shop.
I left money.
Clamps etc, not gone through them yet.
Old bits.
The fineliners I was given after I did the new building lay out plan.
The Hard drive was salvaged from a dead DVR from a CCTV system.
The canon was in the bowl of bits.
As was the other tools.
The traction engine was off their shelf, that was worth the £5 for that.
Another Charity shop in Canterbury.
Not the lighter, that was found in the car park.
The Sub is another WW2 plotting chart item, this is meant to be an usa boat.
This needs work.
Two more Rolls Razor heads, unused.
This small tin was almost lost in the rubbish.
