Methinks the ongoing 'virus' situation is causing the shortage

+1 for the honeywell.
I get mine from Zoro and wait for the 20% off voucher
They do a range of screens and also screen covers which are very worthwhile.
Only issue I have is getting ear defenders that fit under them but I've a big head.
The small wrap around Peltors fit but only just.

I looked into a grinding visor back in April because the visibility through an auto-dimmer is poor. Everything out of stock, even the backpack 3M and Esabs. Someone somewhere is wandering around a hospital in the most pimped covid shield known to man.
As a non-Scot (although I grew up in walking distance from Barr in Mansfield), what is 1901?

It is basically real Irn Bru. The ordinary version is now full of artificial sweetener due to the sugar tax but sales dropped off so they had to bring back the full sugar version but they called it original 1901 recipe.
Good, I was beginning to think I'd have to add my own sugar.

So they've made a new new version that's the same as the old version to replace the new version, why didn't they just keep making the old version?

Because accountants and nannies run companies but find out they lose money when they make changes so have to bring back the original stuff. To save face they employ the marketing people who call it unimproved since 1901

I have a feeling that with a little work it will run like a champ.

Today I acquired - a free carver clamp.
On building sites they don't want leads or hoses run across the floor causing a trip hazard so we always teach our guys to run them up high if they can. Easy to do on my current site because the floors are supported by steel truss joists. One of the guys threw a lead through a gap in the truss and pulled it through - and it dragged this clamp down from where it had been left resting on the bottom flange however long ago.
He brought it to me to show me what had almost landed on him. I said are you alright? "Yes". Do you want it? "No". Okay - leave it there and I'll get rid of it
