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

[roblane65]

I was thinking a getting the 3/8 drive just for home . I've got 4 of the multi volts 2 x big and 2 x small , the only two things 36v are the router and chop saw though the 18v stuff gets a real kicking at work and a lot cheaper to replace than the 36 as well I see all their stuff as taken a bit of price hike lately pretty much the same as anything else though I suppose .

@ukracer why the sad face .

Two new old stock bi metal bandsaw blades, can anyone advise on what they're worth, loads of different prices coming up from £10 to 300 ?

 

[brightspark]

there worth what someones willing to pay for them .ive seen em go at autojumbles for 12 quid up to 30

 

[Munkul]

You can buy good quality m42 blades for around £30 retail price.
Those ones are only worth what someone with the right size of saw is willing to pay, I'm afraid. Check the measurements in metric and imperial, might be close to a popular size with any luck...
Edit: 14ft3 is a big industrial saw. You'll be hard pressed to offload those things for any sort of money...

Whats the length width...

At guess 143ins long by 1.1/4 ins width reading the label. Teeth 4/6???...(4s 6d......or 22.5p for those that are old enough to remember....)

I haven't acquire this but am thinking about it.

Is it worth the 20€ asked you think? Or is it a bad idea to buy this stuff 2nd hand?

 

[Pete.]

I'd pay £20 for that if I needed one for sure.

 

[bigegg]

£20!!!!

I have one on my installation that's been there over 10 years, and still works fine.
I paid 50p for it, 2nd hand, at a car boot sale.

 

[DennisCA]

Well I looked at new and it was like 110 euros for something similar looking.

A lovely stainless steel jerry can. The justification being steel one rust and have a coating that peels off. Plastic ones don't have the bayonet pouring spout. Add to that modern fuels and the propensity for the additives/adulterants to affect both coatings and plastics.

Today I will mostly be palming my old rusty jerry cans to anyone I can find who will take them. Most likey will be a mate who runs a garage up here.

It was as much an illustration that a second hand will be ok.

I spent money on 2 oil cans.

£0:50.
For the pair.

Looks like the edges are going to be a trip hazard if the matt remains on top of carpet.

came tightly rolled up, am pretty sure it will flatten down in a day or two.

I laid my rubber mats upside down for a few days , the weight kinda flattened the corners nicely (that and leaving random bits of big steel on them, )
