Car boot this morning. I had no set plans ingoing today, but my friend asked if we could.
It is a Bowman, in an original box.
Thanks.A nice vice.
Also got this. I have nearly zero experience of MIG welding. It powers on and feeds okay.

Yes, I think so.GYS is a good brand - French, iirc.
I've got a denailer for things like that. Shoots the nails out like you're in the wild west!Aye lovely knot free timber just needs the nails pulled out.
I went to C types on my workshop 32 amp sockets, not had tripping issues since. Been a few threads on it over the yearsYes, I think so.
I gave it a very quick test earlier. Bear in mind I know little to nothing about mig welding (I use a stick welder for everything) but I managed to run a quick and dirty weld on some scrap so at least I know it runs okay. I then tried a higher power and tripped the 16A breaker so I may have to cut the 13A plug and fit a 16A plug and use my compressor socket. The compressor runs on a 16A C-type breaker because it needs to. What do people normally use for hobby welders on a dedicated circuit? C-type or B-type?
A stainless steel table on wheels. Will be handy to keep outside for gardening/ potting plants and other DIY Jobs.

Today I acquired a roll of flexible air hose, some silicone spray cans and a nice quarter drive imperial shallow/deep socket set.

mine havent got any rubber on them there both steelcheck the rubber on the pulleys, as it can break down.
That is just the best air hose, always flexible and very robust.
I bought my first one about twenty years ago and it’s still as good as new, I got this 50 foot roll to chop up for tails and replace some of the other air lines dotted about. Although a bit spendy it’s the cheapest you can get in the long term.

Not sure if it's as good but I use the Bergen green air hose and it's excellent, and cheap too.Today I acquired a roll of flexible air hose, some silicone spray cans and a nice quarter drive imperial shallow/deep socket set.
