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

Is it? Are you sure?
I have 3 Pesto sets, all of them have the same tap wrench.

Me was wrong.
On the original picture, the tap wrench looked too small for the cut out.
Hence my reply.
The ones I have had pass through my hands, the tap wrench was often missing or had been replaced.

Just a small thing, but has made a huge difference. Got this delivered on Friday:

I've spent a lot of time over the last few weeks (or possibly even months) swearing as a result of the antediluvian scale on my tape measures being on the side I wanted to use, so I finally did something about it and bought one with millimetres on all four edges. Been a much happier bunny all all weekend! I should have bought one of these years ago.

I use Stanley fatmax metric only. Haven't felt the need to have digits on the underside though. The tab extends all directions so easy to hook under something numbers up.

Only issue with metric tapes. Nowhere seems to stock them off the shelf. Always have to order online

Yeah, I agree with there being no need for digits on the underside. I have used them once since it arrived on Friday, but I probably could have turned it over and worked the other way up. I just got it as it was the same price as one without the digits on the underside.

and yes, I bought it online (amazon).

I've never understood why most tape measures have to be read when the tape cassette is held in the right hand . Most folk are right handed so have to try and mark the reading with their left hand.
A cabinet makers tape is the opposite and are available in imperial & metric . Some git of a kitchen fitter half inched both of mine when he asked if he could use my workmate outside as a tile cutting bench I'm sure of it .

A great accessory for a small grinder. I also found mine the perfect tool for making french drains out of plastic pipe to place behind my retaining walls, as I couldn't find anything readily available.

Some times I get lost in translation, I'm just a Tourist after all.

I just bought land drainage pipe for behind my retaining wall.

I looked at the black perforated type, but wanted a stiffer straight pipe which I could properly set level behind the walls.

And today I acquired some good news, my tax withholding has finally been refunded.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Small haul today.
Hole punch, close enough to the right size I needed.
A hand vice, in need of TLC.
A cute small oil can.

Charity shop wanted £! each. I left a £5.

Apparently I've acquired a new multi-fuel burning stove today, to replace the pile of junk that was fitted all of 2 years ago by a supposedly reputable company.

But the man couldn't fit it because as well as the stove pipe being shot, it now transpires that the liner in the chimney is also shot!! When I gather my thoughts about this, I'll write a post about this whole sorry saga, but suffice it to say that if we don't get a full refund, we'll be taking legal action against the original company .

A set of torx keys

I wouldn't normally buy cheap tools but couldn't pass these by, they might turn out to made from cheese, but at £2.99 in Aldi worth the risk.

A lovely big dent and scuff on the back door, two big creases on the rear quarter and a big scuff on the rear bumper after a wagon moved across into my lane
