Aldi delivery today, could not resist the £9.99 cordless angle grinder and impact driver!

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?

Been after some JIS for ages but they’re either crap, or stupid money, or both.

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. :thumbup:

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

Cheers. I like T handle spinners.

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
