Britool, facom and bahco are all the same company now I think so will be a rebadged bahco.

They’re not.

Bahco is Snap On.

fork extensions

Really need to source a pair of those. Both doors into the two barns are just under 8ft wide so can't fit sheets in width-ways which is a bit annoying. The sheets I managed to put a piece of box over the back and a couple of G clamps to hold it down. Not sure how well that's going to work on the table...

I've just ordered a set of 6 braked casters anyway which if not permanently attached to the table I might make up into little dollies for moving stuff like this around more easily now I have a flat floor.

Day out yesterday, few bits for me. lots for a friend.
But UPS left me a large box.
Plus one in the post.





Just a pump rod?
No, this high pressure pump, but on a small stroke and a new modern washer, not a leather one.

I have bee asked to trial it to see if it is any better than a traditional design.



A new set of Wad cutters. 3mm to 32mm.


A small anvil, I have plans for this and want to try something.




UPS left this. All the way from Israel.



Old Volt meter.

A quick look shows the wires inside, to the terminals have been cut.
The MCM is sticky as well.




A heavy old Meggar. Inside is a calibration sticker. Dated 1969.

The glass has been broken, so I will need to cut a new one.

Finally.
3 weeks. The Post man failed to post a notice card through the door, twice.



Replacement parts for a Army No12 Stove.

A(nother) GSX1100 in kit form. Drove down today to collect it from Lower Sheepy Bumlick in deepest darkest Dorsetcestershire. Due to the joys of SatNav I couldn't tell you exactly where, just that you go through Bath then drive for an hour or so until you get to 1956.

It'll be a restoration as I'm sort of done with the modified/custom thing now, plus they're too thin on the ground to be chopping about. I have another in a similar state which will get the same treatment.

Thanks, that had me laughing out loud.

Today I acquired a large dent in my wallet for a 1954 vintage D3 Bantam.
Decided I could live without the hardtail model I was initially looking for.
Delivery to be arranged.

Been in the fast lane more than my fair share, so the slow lane is now looking good.

And a million MPG

And that's not a bad thing.

A parcel of estwings...

Bought from the states on wednesday, last week.
Arrived this morning.

I only wanted the one hammer,but the price for all 5 made it a no brainer.
(I think that brings the total to 117 now. )

Nice acquisition. I see you got a 32 ounce thumb destroyer in the mix, lol. The Estwing straight claws are some of the best hammers on earth, Looks like you also have a 24 & 16 ounce there. Hardest to find with the straight claw is the 12 ounce. Took me years to find one when I was in the States.

Its not a 32oz, unfortunately.
16, 24 and 28.

I actually only wanted the 24oz (and a hatchet, eventually), but now I've handled them I'm going to find it difficult to get rid of any of them.
