my 20 year old, £50 halfords basic cabinet (was on offer £50 for the top and bottom halves) has long since fallen apart. i finally got fed up enough to replace the lower half. i intend to buy the mid and upper, but not at the moment.

I was given these today by a neighbour clearing out ready to move. An unusual setup in a file/rasp as there are no handles. Anyone have any idea what their intended use is?
They're farriers rasps for 'orses 'ooves..

Would work very well on things like gas regulators for bottles etc too.

I thought that might be what they are for. Not really a lot of use to me as my Lab doesn't need that much work on his nails
I think I'll give them away to anyone who has a proper use for them.

Usually buy Klagger, but when I asked them for a part, they said they don't supply parts as it wouldn't be economical!
So I thought I'd try this Venus Pro, for brake cleaner, it's brake cleaner friendly and 1.5 litre, and they supply a little bottle of silicone oil!
We'll see, it'll be obvious which has brake cleaner in it too.
Baking soda, for acid and electrolysis cleaning, Oh and baking!

What is the baking soda used for in electrolysis?
Tbh, i've got a few of the farrier rasps that were given to me and they're quite handy for the more rough type wood butchery, hogging something down to size quickly etc, the 'smooth' side is again handy for the rougher end of metal bashing too.

Balls
Why you may ask. well here's a before pick of firewood filled IBC cages covered in a tarp
And after with a ball in the centre on top of the firewood under the tarp
The rain runs off, no pooling for midges/mossies and because the ball is soft, no tarp chaffing. Where I have a log stack around the back of the house, the wind has worn holes in the tarp where the timber touches.
Next, a kindling splitter thingy, not mounted yet, I have to get the mag drill out to drill a column in the barn. Specs for scale. Seems half decent quality, only use will tell.
Finally a thief deterrent for the Kawasaki mule, mainly for when out and about. its not going to stop anybody with an angle grinder, but means I can stop at our local for a quick pint/pie without looking out the pub window every couple of mins. Its also small enough to tuck behind the seat where the lap straps used to be, its now got proper retracting seat belts, all the lap strap did was make sure you head butted the dashboard.

I don't know about that pump bottle but that brake cleaner is not the best. My local parts factors have been stocking it and it's nowhere near as good as the old stuff they stocked.
