Also got a makita DA4031 right angle drill though doesn't appear to be working, hopefully it's an easy fix or that's me down a fair bit!

Plus another box of machine skates, a Steerman SCS-20 kit though don't need it since I got all the smaller ones last month so that'll be going on ebay.

Looks interesting, where is the auction for the diggers?

Today I acquired freedom from Radiotherapy, after 20 treatments; and hopefully feeling better and back to normal in a couple of weeks.

I'm so happy for you, my father is doing radiotherapy and chemotherapy.
Last one is destroying him but mentally not physically, he's getting very upset and violent sometimes for nothing.
Stupid useless arguments everyday maybe because you need to take a glass and you happen to walk in front of him .
Can't wait for the end of all of that because it's very hard for him and for us as well

Does he need more friends

Just to let him know I'm into Makita, usually cheaper than Milwaukee

 

[Memmeddu]

True friends can be counted on one hand

Bob

Not even need to count them as I have only one

I tend to just buy the cheapest 0.9mm discs I can find for the small grinder...don't really see much real difference in the way they perform vs the branded stuff...but I'm only usually cutting thin stuff anyway.

The difference is in life time .
Usually the cheaper the shorter they'll last.
About safety....
I don't know or feel to say anything about but good branded ones are more forgiving than cheaper ones

Do you think the previous one was fake copy of a stihl chain ?

Having done a half day in the woods yesterday with the new chain,there’s a noticeable difference,didn’t re tension the chain once,whereas the previous snapped one I’d adjusted twice,it was packaged in Stihl packaging however.

Got those Beta chisels and punches for about 30 euro, they look like brand new.

Collected the gühring VHM end mills

And the Harris torch set as well

Now I've paid only 80 euro for it...
The thing is brand new never been used, not even once.
Handle and cutting attachment alone are worth about 800 euro
A bargain

Admit it. At some point in time, you will be waving one of those around, pretending it's a lightsaber.

I totally didn't think about it before I bid on them
