Thats quite an impressive clearout. I do not have that sort of discipline! I'm about to move stuff from the garage to the parents barn to make some room to use it again.

I went to just buy the spanners but she had put all the other stuff out for scrap so she said take it if you want it, I guess if you don't know things are still useful they are just metal.When in reality you told her you would help her by taking all that mucky scrap to the tip

Yesterday, I called up the farmers' store and asked them to drop over a bag of dog food.
I also asked them to send over one of the plastic 60L drums they have lying around, as a rodent-proof container for said dogfood.
When I ventured out this morning, they'd been and gone, and (not complaing) they'd been prompt and done me a favour.
However, instead of one of these...
I found one of these...
Excellent! I've been trying to find these locally for ages, but never looked in the right place.
Turns out they were under my nose all the time.
I still need a 60L, though.

My canoe solution, but I have to remember to relocate it before I install the ceiling.

Problem is you have to spend £500+ in dog food to fill it, other wise you are scratting about in the bottom chasing 20kg.

Need a giant bubblegum dispenser type arrangement to fire out a portion from the bottom.

I’ve often wondered about some thing like that, but built into a kitchen cupboard.

You watch how quick the dogs learn to activate and get their own portion out

Did you forget to plug them in?
I picked this lot up from Kempton today, the hacksaw is very nice and solid it's made by Leyris "MADE IN ENGLAND". Anyone heard of them????View attachment 202997

The "pincers" are Knipex and I'm pretty sure are for crimping 'O' clamps onto pipe.

A real metal Surform to replace the one I'll obviously find again tomorrow now I've bought this!
A 12mm spanner made in USA! Didn't think they knew how to do foreign stuff!
And finally a 19mm Halfords ratchet spanner, I didn't realize it was a ratchet type for a minute as it's much thinner than my others!
I spent as much on a crappy hot dog and tea as I did on this lot!
Not a bad day out and I didn't nearly buy a Moto Morrini 3 1/2 or a Tigcraft / Yamaha Sound of Singles racer or some monster spine snapping twin shock MX bike.....
I think those are knipex o-clip pliers! Do they have a cutting blade on one side as well as the end? This is to do clips where side access is restricted. Used to have a pair & they are one of the tools I didn't liberate from my work toolbox when the place closed down.
Really kicking myself now as they were awesome.
