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

Not nearly close enough though. If you put a 6mm shank in a 6.35 collet you'll be risking it walking itself out at 12,000rpm.

As the spanish say:

Mucho oucho

I have their mini angle grinder....good for tight spaces.

Dewalt do an excellent die grinder but it's now silly money....I had to sell my Makita 240v because I decided it would eventually cause me an injury....the thing was brutal the amount of torque it had.

On Friday my boss came in and said there’s a chap in the next unit that deals in old tools... that was all I needed to leg it round there and buy this roll cab and the riveter and pry bar

there goes this weeks wages

Money well spent. Every time I've opened a drawer on my cabinets, its brought a smile to my face.

Iv been after a replacement for a long time and made do

I was prepared to spend £2k as I know it will be worth good money when I come to sell it

when I told the lads behind our building there’s a chap that sells tools they all came back with something even my boss spent £160

Does it have a zip across the headlining? I always look when they are that shade of blue.

It doesn't have a headlining, been ripped out long ago.

 

[WorkshopChris]

Got one of these. Works well but just annoying its 6mm chuck rather than 1/4".

Only the one collet with mine.

I'm sure someone told me that 6mm/6.35mm are near enough the same?

This is my pet hate with online sellers who don't understand, I have lost count of the times I have messaged sellers to ask if the item IS 6mm or 1/4" only to get a reply of " yes 6mm 1/4" "

Me too. I was recently trying to buy a set of metric OD router cutters but the listing said '6, 10, 12, 16 mm (1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 5/8")'. Seller seemed incapable of understanding that there was a difference.

This 22-67x100 scope landed today, Love it as the camera attaches straight to the lense with a T2 adapter after removing the rubber eyecup..

Need to get a stronger tripod though as this one wobbles a bit with the weight!!

all the panda cars round here had a roof mounted POLICE sign and a zip to get to the bolts and wiring, so if you have three repaired holes in the roof...….

there are sellers of steel balls on ebay who think 1/4" and 6mm are exactly the same!

Not everyone is accurate in engineering terms.

 

[Woody.v8]

6 of one ,half a dozen of the other

Hmmm, So they're rounding it down to 24mm and throwing the other 1.4mm away then!!

A 6mm pellet would drop straight down the barrel of my .25" BSA Supersport!!

The 6.35 pellets fit much better!!

What do you reckon to these @winchman ?

Britool AF deep sockets, 3/8 and 1/2 drive, in their tins. Very happy

A 3mtr long sink for the mancave, one side is heated so it can have solvent with a pump one side and rinse/handwash/kettle filling the other

That is the size of a lot of mancaves, don't fill the kettle from the wrong side, tea will taste funny!

 

[slim_boy_fat]

don't fill the kettle from the wrong side, tea will taste funny!

I suspect @8ob will have that covered, with one of these on it.

You really do hold the highest of hope for people, don't you. I'm just waiting for a "muppet" thread.

Another bit of steel from a scrap skip, it is about 200mm wide and 25mm.
