I bought one and added a pressure regulator to bleed the SBC system correctly on my Mercedes, works well and can still be used manually.

I would recommend the cheapy version, works perfectly, half the price with the universal adaptor included, although not univeral enough for a mazda 6!
Theres a couple of listings with 42/43/44mm adaptors plus universal.
The only complaint is they all need 1.5-2L fluid in the tank. No great problem but it would be good if it had a narrow section at the bottom for the pickup. If you know that in advance and have a spare bottle, all is good! I expected it so bought 2L for what I expected would be a 500ml job.

A shed load of sockets and data outlets for this years lounge refurb, as a bonus I used a Screwfix money off voucher that came through the door yesterday

Couple of chainsaw files, chisel type. As I have a few full chisel chains I will try to do a square file on the cutters.

A set of spring hose clamp pliers, after I ranted elsewhere on the forum about what a pain these clips are, several people provided links to pliers of various sorts and prices, and this seemed to be a good compromise for DIY use. Let's hope I never have to use it. I've had it in mind, then had an eBay email because it dropped in price a bit.

A 20 tonne press is a great size. I have one and it can handle anything I have. Such as very rusty and stuck old S class mercedes rear wheel bearings. It does feel near maxed out on those but sure enough there is a huge bang as they separate like a gunshot.

I used to live nearby and old school garage that let me use their press when I needed for a box of donuts etc. Now I've moved and H&S rules everywhere I decided I'd have to buy my own.

Worth having, even if it only gets used once in a blue moon.

After upgrading my SGS tool trolley to a Bluepoint one some months back I just sold the SGS one today as no point having it here. (Smaller than the bluepoint and I hope to buy a second Bluepoint trolley with more drawers also)
So I treated myself to a Bluepoint 1/2 socket set barely used for £130 on the bay. Nice addition to the BP 3/8 set I have which I find to be super quality.
I have a very large Draper Expert 1/2 set that's in my back garage and not handy to lug around. So this set will be handy for my front garage where I do most of my car servicing.

They do look like a good job with the adjustable power etc. Mine should be here in a day or two and I have a job lined up for it as soon as it arrives to try it out. (Front wings removal on my 124 coupe)
