Acquired today, but not arrived yet.
A set of JIS drivers. I've been using a Vessel Impacta for a couple of years and meant to get the matching set of Vessel drivers, but today saw that Sealey have made some. Cheap enough to take the gamble they might be ok. A lot of Sealey stuff is acceptable enough, but they do produce some crap. Well, import crap would be a better description, as I don't think they make much.
Followed this up by taking a brain fit and spaffing some loot on a bike scissor jack for on top of the bike ramp.
Amazon, ebay, et al, are full of junky cheap crap things, so I thought it best to splash on something that might have some quality control, even if it's made in Shenzen like all the others. There's also the chance of some comeback if this collapses and breaks my leg.

Been using a Sealey labeled scissor jack on my bike lift for a long time and its a very handy combination, came with a wheel roller which is also handy

Who was it that was looking for aluminium rail for a router sled?
The rails of that hoist look absolutely ideal.

Yep, had a bit of a tickly throat Thursday and a bit of a cough, got tested Thursday 5.30,that evening felt run down, cold, barking cough, went to bed early, rubbish nights sleep with coughing and sweats.. Didn't have a temp though.
Just sat watching telly Fri, slept great last night, right as rain this morning.
Test results then come back, positive.

One of these, very impressed with the build quality and feel really nice and balanced in the hand. Brushless motor and Samsung battery's including a 3 year warranty once you register online. Bought mine from Machine Mart which don't do the sockets deal but i needed it today as my air gun decided to lock up with broken motor vanes.

Mm I know, missus is really worried as well, she said she'll never be able to flog my van now I've ripped off the rusty wing.

I had the rh side of a three week old jimmy ripped apart as a Range Rover towing a car on a four wheel Ifor Williams trailer in the middle lane of the M25 drove past me at about 50 mph on the M 25 as I was stopped in a traffic queue . One of the three inch wide ratchets ends anchored at the hook end was still on the strap as it flapped & bounced along it left me with a 19 x 2 inch wide rip along the rh side & having to pay £ 75 excess when I got it repaired.

For the simply constructed key @Farside has, a disassembly and soak in apple-cider vinegar will dissolve all oxidation / corrosion and bring the parts back looking as new.

I've acquired a little bit of micro spot corrosion on some supposedly 18/18 high end stainless steel shower / bathroom disable persons support arm bracket , other fittings & some stay bright steel lockers & cabinets inthe bathroom.
Anyone know how to dissolve it back to clean metal & prevent more happening?

Barkeepers friend powder might work? No idea what it is, probably toxic enough to melt your eyeballs if you look at it too long or some such rubbish. But its never let me down and says you can use it on stainless.
Edit:
I have used it to get black water marks out of wood, clean rust off the bottom of saucepans, clean limescale off of sinks/tubs. Hasnt marked anything yet. It will mark stone though apparently
