perfect, let me know the postage.... only need it for code 85 - got a few doors to repair.., but, how many ships do you need to sink??
don't worry about it, I looked it up as well...... I haven't a clue either, I stopped watching doctor who when I was a kid, think Tom baker was still the Dr then......

A cement mixer. It's up there as one of the blokiest tools to own.
I bought 2of them 40 years ago. one petrol one electric the petrol one has done one garage floor with concrete .the electric one has done loads of work and the drum is still like .new no point in parting with themSold my Belle half bag mix when I realised disabilities were getting the better of me 10 yrs ago .. didn't see the point in letting it rust away outside as I had no where to store it inside.
three years later I got a fantastic birthday present .. full landscaping of the lawns & garden to level out our ski slope plot around the home . £ 16 000 later it's all done posh fence that has slide in panels mtr wide smooth concrete paths round the perimeter with keyed in expansion joints on a 300 compacted rubble bed , front area turned into a flat concreted & block worked parking area for four cars or three cars and a 5 berth caravan Raised beds 900 mm high a mtr wide in blocks of 1 mtr square app 30 mtr nd a glass house & log cabin office cum clean hobby room .
Three years after it was all finished the floor of the glasshouse started spalling off … it was supposed to be a level 150 mm thick single 3 x 5 mtr slab of bridging concrete floated smooth . BTD's had put less than 50 mm down and it definitely was not the bridging mix I'd paid for . Roy Rogers & Gene Autry had long ridden into the sunset with John Wayne . Could I get any one to redo it for me? No chance not even for £2000 labour only as it would mean they had to dismantle the glasshouse .
Costed it in material's just under £400 .
I challenged my 14 yr old daughter …. help me put a top coat of fine concrete on the rough stuff and a week later slab it in 600 x 600 smooth 50 mm thick paving slabs & there is £ 300 in it for you . I ended up buying a new mixer for £ 160 as I couldn't be sure how long it would take and if disability flared up it could be months before it was finished using a hires machine .
As it turned out it was all done in 10 days.... flat & smooth in running bond with slabs cut by daughter with a beastie of a Hitachi 9 inch angle grinder & a diamond blade .
Mixer was washed in car shampoo that leaves a wax residue behind . taken down th garden and covered in a couple of tied down 2 x 1 mtr sheet of corrugated fibre glass roofing panels . Used it in anger a couple of years later to mix three barrels of mortar for a haunching project .. wife barrowed 1/3 filled garden trollies to the site and I use a kiddies sand spade on a redundant sea fishing rod but to take it out th trolley and slip it in place then tamp it down with a soft sweeping brush ..jobs a good'un
What really irritated is for 15 years I had an earlier Belle mixer and sold it off when I'd finished with it in 1999 It was in near show room condition despite me using it to modernise two homes , landscape the gardens and build our small farm . It cost me £ £127 inc vat and was sold to my pal for £50 with a new belt and a fresh gear box or oil .
I ain't selling this Belle mixer …...ever .

it all depends on what you are wanting to do in there!
think about what you are wanting to do and look at tools that would make doing it easier

Good point and now that I have a lathe and milling machine I don't understand how I coped without.
We *want* all the tools, rarely do we have the money to buy, the space to put and the time to use such things.i disagree.
you need *all* the tools.
plus duplicates.
just in case.
Rubber mats ,a soldering station , maybe finally a fluke ...i seem to remember you posting about fixing some grinders or drills possibly both that you repaired..
it could be worth while keeping an eye open for a P.A.T. tester and creating an area to use it... rubber mats etc
