I’ll be interested how you get on with thisI am going to call @KimB out on this one, all her fault. Saw just the handle for sale for £40 so bought one:

Going to try it out at work as it could make fitting scopes less of a tiresome task. Daren't let the Minion loose with an electric screwdriver as I think there would be more cross threaded than not.
Cute!Really like my Knipex Cobras but often found them a bit too big, so I've gone from one extreme to the other...

Well I aquired this last year but because of lockdowns it was out of reach until now.
Wish my trailer was ready. Far too tall for the Sprinter van so palletised it nicely and shipping through one of our pallet networks Monday.
A tad bigger than I thought
Jones and Shipman quality.

It didn't work until I put a new battery in it. Stupid question, but how do I switch it off? Will it go off after a set time?

When these were all the rage I seem to remember the image quality really varied depending what you beamed it on to, so it may be worth trying a few different surfacesGot my hands on an old projector, would have been great while I was at uni, not a whole lot of use to me now. Oh well.

4400 lumen, I think it's more for conferences/classrooms than home theater but it should be good enough for me. Seems like quite a posh one, it automatically squares up the image if it's at an angle to the screen. On a white image you can see some weird coloured borders, the picture makes it look an awful lot worse than it does stood in front of it.

Not sure if it's because its old and knackered (maybe that's why it was thrown out) or if it's repairable, a very quick search online suggests it might just need a clean, I'm skeptical though. I watched a film and didn't actually notice it so maybe I should just leave it alone. 0 hours lamp life apparently, I assume it's been reset rather than it's got a brand new lamp in it.
Why do these huge old drills have such small chucks?The torque in these is wicked! I’ve known people be thrown across the room trying to hold onto a job. When I sold my Denbigh the new owner contacted me to say how great it was, that it never stalled under load and just kept drilling, on a 2hp single phase motor! Can’t get that from a Fobco or a Meddings…

Yes I know that but it looks a pretty small morse taper but haven't checked properly yet. Such a small quill though on such a huge drill.It has a Morse taper spindle (note slots for ejector drift) with a Jacobs chuck on an arbor in it.
