^^^ only reason i say petrol bucket dumper there was a member fixing one up

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.

I've got a couple of those, and as you say, they do overtighten.
However, the bar on screwfix 6" f-clamps (which i have *lots* of) is the perfect size to use a lever - so still more convenient than the standard ones.

Went to see a mate today, and unexpectedly came away with 5ltr of hand sanitiser

He’s helping a local company decant IBCs into 5ltr tubs. A few weeks ago they were paying 16k for a 1000ltrs. It now down to less the 800quid

I acquired quite a few things today:

Two bargain hammers from a local car boot sale, a small saw and two more Narex chisels delivered from Yandles and a Chinese copy of a kerfmaker tool that I ordered a couple of months ago on ebay. The ruler and the pocket vernier aren't new, they just happened to be lying on the bench when I took the photo.

I've been very impressed with the Narex chisels. I now have three of them and of all the chisels I've got, they're the ones that needed the least work to get them nicely sharpened and shaped such that they're easy to resharpen: the back was very flat and the bevel almost exactly 25° and also flat. I have quite big hands, so I also like the chunky handles.

The hammers both have very slightly wobbly heads, so I'll have to do something about that.

@Roger Webber , your posts have been moved to a new thread with an explanation as to why it doesn't look normal.

Would appreciate a quick review.
Been thinking about ordering one to replace my 3d printed version.

Those cutting disc are ****e. Take far too much air to run them.
I turned up an arbor to take 4" thin cutting discs. Once too small to use on a grinder, they still have enough meat to use on the air tool.

..... the ability to walk the entire length of my garage/workshop without almost breaking my neck.
About time I had a damned good tidy up in there, I don't think I've ever seen so much empty floor space!

^^^^ that to go on the petrol bucket dumper ?

That’s narrow, what’s it on?

50/50 its a fergie

Kubota I reckon

You're all wrong!

It's on this -

Howard 300 that I rebuilt a few years ago, that gets to see daylight a couple times a year.
I thought I'd better treat it, as the inner tube was becoming quite visible through the sidewall...

 

[4String.]

You're all wrong!

I didn't guess, so being pedantic, I'm not wrong.

I therefore demand an apology .

No, the mini is still there and will be for the foreseeable future.
Set of golf clubs going begging if you want them?

I'm sure if I asked Mrs 4String, she'd suggest plenty wrongs
