il be honest i never knew there was a setting tool for Brolly fixings.


Must have about 10000 of the things in the lockup as there a pita to fit winding in and out. Well not any more lol.

Popped into the local Hospice charity shop thinking "I'll just get a couple of books", walked out with a 12" Starrett combination square with all the bits but no box and 5 Moore and Wright dividers/calipers and a centre punch that looks brand new, oh almost forgot , a book

I have no idea how many screens I have put up with those fixings (not Lidl branded usually Fischer) but always use the correct tool to set them, so much faster than trying to use a screw driver bit which can all to easily chew up the screw or rotate the fixing in the board causing it to cork screw rather than umbrellering them.

I've never seen one of these tools before Keith, but I did bring loads of hardware and fittings when I sent a Seatrain container over here a couple of years ago. Yeah, these anchors were sometimes a pain to install and would spin out occasionally if you were not careful installing with a screwdriver and lubricate the screw with anti-seize compound. As eLuSiVeMiTe said, they were a pain in the a**, but not any more.

I have had a few of the generic 'blue ones' which like cheep filler guns last until the sliding rod gets chewed by the locking plates.
These are nicer https://cpc.farnell.com/fischer-fix...qn2JnAfexxbj1A8_3r-kb_dr4kXVxGgsaAgS_EALw_wcB

But I find the ergonomics of the gun shaped cheep ones easier to use.
Main thing is to use decent fixings Fischer or the B&Q own brand ones if needed in a hurry. Some like the CPC own brand ones were very poor but I see they now do the Fischers.

Not acquired today.

But re-acquired today.

I will explain, I lent a good friend a trailer to help him move from one house to his new one.
It was mainly used to take stuff to the recycling centre.
He also knows if he paid with money it could be embarrassing. He went to a tool shop I know. @slim_boy_fat, yes that one.

I also was at the same shop, I sold some tools and other stuff.



Yes, it has come back to me. @mrsbruce Your hard works has gone on a road trip.

Yes it is the AVO Ex Post office. But.
Yes, there is a but.
After all the fun of getting a new 15Volt battery.
They left it on.

Today I acquired.....a pocketful of cash. A very nice chap came from Inverness [40 miles] to buy the Record pillar drill I had for sale - paid in cash with no haggling, loaded it into the boot of his car and went away a happy man [but not as happy as me ].

Even complimented me on the condition of my grass.

Browsing eBay. Ten minuites down the roadm 24 quid. Be rude not to. Looks unused and has its software and freebies still in the box.

Just a midi controller. No sound generation but still handy. Much better than the one it will replace

[Olderisbetter]

Picked up a professional range 18" breaker bar from Halfords today just over £12 on the trade card.

 

[Rannsachair]

I got home from work today and someone had left this stuff on my door step:

Suspect it will be a neighbour, never know when things like this will come in handy.

Nice neighbours you have
