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

[MattF]

The 24" ½" drive breaker bar turned up today. Good weight to it. Time alone will tell how robust it is.



To complement it, I've ordered these:

Pardon our interruption...

I already have a ⅜" Hallmark socket set, so thought I'd go with same for the ½". They're six point sockets. There's a 20% off coupon on the go at the moment too, on Ebay. They come in a nice foam insert which can go in a tool drawer.

Some varieties here from DC iron,I don’t like cold bent scrolls but had to match the adjacent ones made by someone else. The bearing and plate is for a heavy gate I’m converting,the bend and disc is for a biochar kiln on order.

Why?

I've got one of those, it's awesome, lives in the car with a suitable socket for wheel nuts.

When my wife's had a flat tyre, she's grateful it's there.

A wallpaper steamer / stripper from the local (well, 25 miles away) Freecycle group. I've got one room where the wallpaper is in quite poor condition so hopefully this'll help speed the job up. What I should do is get rid of it once I've stripped this room, but I probably won't. Other rooms are papered, but it's in pretty good nick so there's no point removing it just for the sake of it, but if I could do all of them then I really could move it on.

Don't go to heavy with it or you'll be replastering as well!

Good to hear they're decent.

I bought an internal bearing puller and slide hammer. It has expanding collet thingies that fit inside a bearing and a slide hammer to pull bearings out of blind holes. Haven't got a job for it at present, but I coudl have used it in the past. China's finest.

Can't beat a 'Biscuits, Fruit, AB'




That's a Garibaldi for the non-mil.

Nowt wrong with a good Rat pack.

Ask Bob Geldof. He will agree

What were the ones in the green foil packet? I like them.

They were all in green foil packets (probably still are!), just with different print on them. Biscuits Fruit AB, Biscuits Brown, etc..

I was thinking Dean Martin, Sammy D etc, But Bob G works too!

I'm sure they were rectangular plain biscuits and really hard...

What's that destined for then?

I can recommend building a terrier tunnel system. Made one years ago with twinwall and they love it

I don't want to see the size of the terrier that pipes for....

Bigger diameter == more terrierists at once

Lol, I can imagine, when we had two Westies they would sometimes just look at each other for a split second, then they were off - chasing each other in turns up down and around anything or anywhere. Then 30 seconds for a breath before off again.
