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

[Luggsey]

Found this at the recycle, no handle but that's easy to sort but how long?
Blades look perfect.
Any idea what make this is?
I paid £10 for it, thats big bucks for me at the recycle, thats normally a chainsaw for £10!
Is it s good buy?

A shear for £10. I think you can safely assume yes.

5' + for the thick stuff...

That's fairly similar to mine, I've been using an old trolley jack handle that my mate gave me, but I've managed to put the project car on the rollover jig a little too close to the bench, so I've had to use a 12" piece of suitable box section. That's been OK for cutting 1mm steel, and needs a bit more effort for 2mm. But I got another piece of box off the scrap recently, so I can make something a little better.

I think it's an Elliot Sampson or a copy?

I find myself needing to desolder a fair few things at the moment. I struggle with the standard pump and wick these days. I have splashed out on one of these as we have one at work and they seem to work ok.
Hopefully it will be good!

Is that much expensive.
I'd love to have one
Not for electronics really but it might come in handy both for power tools and airsoft guns too

It was £90 on Amazon, quite a good price I thought.

Acquired last week but cleaned up today. It needs one new objective lens, but it's in otherwise excellent order. The detail you can see is amazing.

Free garage wall art. Or expensive depending how you view it

Is that for reading the numbers on debit cards?

Since you mentioned the digital angle measure I’ve been itching at me and I gave in today when this Bosch Professional GAM 220 MF appeared localish. The MF part adds the ability to calculate mitre angle cuts both horizontal and vertical so you can cut angled pieces like coving whilst placed flat on the mitre saw.

Snap!
Got it this morning, not as posh as yours though.

I could have done with mine last week but hopefully in a few weeks it will get chance to earn its keep.
