I could do with a couple cheap bits for caring around with me...and lending out to people with the expectation of not getting them back!....although I've learned to never lend out the battery charger
.How loud is the angle grinder....is it "I can't have a conversation" loud....or "my ears bleed" loud?

Are they staplers?

They're just mini hand jacks/props...I think they're meant for hanging doors in houses maybe but I'll use them as a second pair of hands as I'm usually working alone and often need to prop stuff in position while I fix it in place I find.

I did know. Could have done with one the other day adjusting some hinges here. Made a foot operated seesaw out of two screwdrivers.

These little pump air bags are ideal for lifting doors when hanging/removing. When deflated they are only maybe 2-3mm and pump up to about 50mm. Slide them under and pump them with your feet to raise/level the door while you hold in in position.
@KimB left me hers but really handy so ended up buying a pair for myself.

You're not interested in getting into other people's locked cars out of some funny coincidence...?!?

So put in a bid on Ebay for theses there was aready one but amazed when I won them for £31 I thought they were max 1/2" but turns out largest was 1 1/4" so was happy with that and most look unused if a little surface rust
Turns out the guy was a lawn mover repair man but went to a closing down auction and bout a load of gear so I asked him what else he had... turns out rather alot !
4C collets fit my lathe so happy with these £5
dont know what these are niether did he so chucked them in
some lathe tools £5
extra drills and milling cutters £5
lastly not sure what these are for nor did he so threw them in along loads of taps some tiny
He was happy as didnt want the hassle of putting it all on Ebay and i was very happy!

You've got a set of transfer punches in the drill index box in 0.5mm increments.
The black handles widgets with threads both ends are go/no-go thread standards for checking the accuracy and fitment of formed threads during QC.
