Over the past six months I've been watching loads of thing on Temu and Ali-express recorded the prices at the time of viewing .then placed all the orders between 12 Nov and today difference over all well over £400 saved from the viewed prices .
Ordered on 11 Nov 2024 expected 6 Dec .. Today I received two air charging valves & one safety blow off unit for all of £9 .60 they are identical to my donated 5 cu ft compressor valve that has a leaking air via the safety valve and a leaking on off switch diaphragm .
A new compressor is about £150 or so

It's a gift from the organisers of a festival I have helped with several times, it would be a bit much in the house, but adds a little joy to the workshop.

But there is good stuff in there.

A floor, I could use one of those too. You've given me inspiration for this weekend.

I found a cunning way to create even more floor...
For anyone wondering why it's canted over at a funny angle, that's to make it work better with an automatic drain valve...
By angling it, water should always pool in the float valve assembly rather than on the tank bottom.
That was "acquired" from my storage unit, which I have to admit looks rather like an antique shop and a branch of machine mart were dashed together by a tornado.
I need to dig out all the DN15 pipe and fittings I have in there to run air through the workshop...
There should be enough to have 3 overhead air points inside, each with a PCL fitting and a Valve with a Q-Type Claw Fitting, and one more outsideu the rear door, where there's an existing air-reel
Also from actual machine mart, a new gauge for the compressor as the old one was known bad when I bought it, but the owner didn't fancy fixing it just to sell it.

Makita DHR171Z clone.
I've been doing electrical stuff lately at work and I've been missing so much my Hitachi cordless rotary hammer so since I'm in the process of swap battery platform from Parkside to Makita LXT but not needing the real thing I've got this one
Now it's still missing a drill and I have everything I need
DTW285/300 clone (small half inch impact)
DTW700 clone (1/2" mid torque)
TW001GM201 clone (3/4" high torque)
DGA 504 ZJ clone (angle grinder)
Now that SDS drill.

Surprisingly capable little drills those!
Being that I only had one working arm at the time, and I couldn't use the big 240V SDS drill one handed, drilling through 800mm of brick and stone with that was my only option, and it managed like a champ.
Took a couple of batteries and some cool-down breaks, but it got the job done!
