no more looking for the grinder spanner !

I bought a couple of those a while ago. Used them for a while, but in the end went back to the original nuts & a pin spanner. I found with a few of the wheels I was using, the milwaukee nuts would tighten themselves up in use to the point that I had to get a pair of pliers on the flip-up handle to get them undone. It was happening so often that it didn't feel like they were adding much over the original nut so they got consigned to the "Where Tools Go To Die" drawer.

Haven't seen my dad in months so he had some good loot saved for me.


Small Bisley (not actually Bisley) cabinet. Don't know where it's gonna go or what I'll put in it but you don't turn down free drawers.


A spring return cable reel, wiring up the garage is the next job on my list so this will make a nice addition.


Last one, big single point (I believe) load cell. Not sure if it works, under that copper tape there's some kind of amplifier/conditioning circuitry and four wires in the cable. Would be cool to hook it up to an Arduino, it must be good for a few hundred kilos.

Or, hear me out... I could keep it.

Now why would you want to do that when you could send it to me?

New bit holder and a pack of bits, proper impact rated ones, with a bit of luck they'll last a little longer than the nasty old ones I've been using. For what they cost, they wanna last a lot longer!

They feel like quality at least, the holder has a death grip on the bits.

If anyone's curious, it took all week but I did break one.

They do grip the screw head very well so I'm still happy with them

No, not guilty.

I was interested how they performed as I seam to go through the Makita ones all the time,only in the impact gun, I first thought I was doing some thing wrong. Glad I am not the only one, They dont seam to break in the screwdriver when the touque is cranked up so I am asuming its something to do with the impacting.

Supposedly the Impaktor bit holder acts as a spring and smooths out the harshness of the impact. Sounds to me like that should lower the maximum achievable torque so maybe its marketing spank but someone on another forum claimed the holder makes the expensive bits last longer so I felt it worth a try. I've never seen a bit crack in a combi drill, it makes sense that an impact driver should be more punishing on bits.

Not today, actually last week @Hood let me have this. It’s taken a week to remove the residue of Scotland’s last ten years worth of Liquid Sunshine.....
Just waiting for the new Capscrews to arrive and then the hydraulic chuck actuator is good to go

doesn't sound to promising does it , well time will tell weather i've wasted me money

Not bad for the price. Does take up a lot of space, for once the moulded tray works well.

Got to tell every i can so hope its OK

Daughter just got a promotion higher up in a good job last week (can't say where) she has been working since 13 and started work at 16 and gone from hights to higher (don't know where she got it from must have been the best bits of my maths and otherhalfs English and general help shes helping me over the years helping in DIY she loved it helping dad)

Son phoned me today hes now a qualified bricklayer as of passing his final test today after 2 year of on site training and collage 1 day a week (got to say the guy he's working for did not use him as go fetch did spend time getting him laying bricks only after a couple months)

I'm here beating my chest like tarzan of the jungle

Ok and now for my post I received

This in a sorry state for the sum of 2 quid I'm hoping its a bricky or roofer hammer in a local shop there was a large amount of general hammers there @Parm @The_Yellow_Ardvark I found this at the bottem and having a day off to have time to my self I thought why not so please if this is not a bricky or roofing hammer please say I dont want my son going on site with something from his dad thats not right

Any how I'm up to taking the head off added citric acid dip sand down the shaft put back together add a metal chock to secure the head and now the final oiling using door oill that I got a few months ago from Facebook for a cheap price

I know this sounds cheap but on site they loose a lot of stuff so buy good but not expensive stuff as get nicked or lost so if I present him this its a item to put on shelf for passing or as I'm hoping something he might use and as it cheap it one of those things that hang around for ever that you can loose but if it does not any thing lost

But the extra reson I'm asking is if its a bricky or chiping hammer should it have a more sharpened end on ?

Thanks for your help on this
