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

[ronan]

This morning I paid a visit to my local scrap yard for the first time in about two weeks and whilst there I spotted this Fronius Transpocket 1500 in a skip.

I have no idea if it's working or not yet, but I only swapped a few lead acid batteries for it in the hope that if it does need a bit of work to get it going it can be done reasonably cheaply.

Fingers crossed.

You might get lucky. Kilkenny welding supplies used to be the stockists and agents for Fronius here.

i just fixed a thermal arc inverter turned out it had been droped ans snaped a bit of the pcb board was not a 20 min fix but was fixable worth cheaking around the pcb board see if there are any cracks on the board

 

[Agroshield]

Fingers crossed.

Even if it's scrap, the case would make a cool lunch box or tool box or rod storage or PPE storage.

First car boot since lock down began, not a bad haul, pack of 1.6 316 rods and some bronze rods too. Couple of rolls of Emery, some decent clear coat, a box of stainless M5 bolts and a schrader air line fitting.

 

[Maker]

New bit holder and a pack of bits, proper impact rated ones, with a bit of luck they'll last a little longer than the nasty old ones I've been using. For what they cost, they wanna last a lot longer!

They feel like quality at least, the holder has a death grip on the bits.

Fitted the scope to the monopod today. Its very nice

Hi

Ok strictly not acquired £125 but I thought 3 new I beams 200 x 135 × 3m. Was pretty good and also 10mins away from my house. Start of my new shed

Picked this up today, non runner project, to go with my power barrow, towed it round the back with the power barrow, I will be using these for the upcoming house extension.

 

[EddyP]

Got this nice pair of drawers from my local scrap man the other day too, perfect for the lathe tools.

 

[Chillitt]

A lawnmower, a circular saw, a dustbin and a packet of biscuits (which I didnt even share.. Ooops...

I still smash them to bits, tried all makes and I've settled on Dewalt simply because a box of 20 can be had for under £5

You're not alone, under the outside staircase there's a small 'shed'. had a broken brick / dirt floor, cleaned it out to find limestone paving slabs

 

[Olderisbetter]

Not today but a few days ago i picked up a spare 1200 VW Beetle engine and a set of pipe chains made by spartan New York

 

[Nick DV]

Given this today, shall I keep it or sell it ?

One of those tools that I can't see a use for but as soon as I get rid of it I will no doubt need it. I have limited space though.

Keep it, you'll sell it and the next job you do will need it
