I have the SP version.
Used for more than brakes.
The weakness is the plastic containers. But washing them out as soon as you are done keeps them good.

Needed some more tool storage in the garage, so I ordered this 10 days ago, a 42" wide Roll Cab and Top Box from Costco including delivery and vat.....£590.
May not be Snap-on but it'll do for tool storage......seems well made for the money

The Plane on the right.
Remove the front handle, bring it into the bathroom. Leave it for about a week.
Then glue it with a 2 pack glue. Not the rapid type.
Clamp well, then clean up and re stain.
Both Planes will have UNC or Whit threads.

True.
But great to force fill a brake system,, pull up the fuel on a disiel system.
Find leaks on brakes systems.
They do bled brakes well. But only when you have fitted(Said bad words) the right connections and used your third hand to hold the container and the forth hand to hold onto the spanner.

I’ve never been a fan of vacuum bleeding , always found a pressure bleed used sensibly to be way more efficient. The vacuum pump is useful for testing various engine sensors, vacuum advance units etc

I just reverse fill with a syringe and bleed each device as normal. Nothing fancy needed for brakes I can refit the bike brakes early before work, the filling/bleeding takes about 3 minutes.
Today some more amazons, £5 for the 3-12mm reamer set and £3 for the big step drill.

Raided the Middle of Lidl this morning and picked up a new Parkside auto-dimming helmet. For the price of £23 bar a few pennies, it's pretty good value.The build looks like it will stand the gaff for the kind of light usage it will be getting. The head cradle was easy to set up though I'm not a fan of the cloth sweat band but, once that's worn out I'll do the same trick as I did on the cradle of my standard helmet - wrap a load of insulating tape it its place. It hasn't been used in anger yet but I'm looking forward to the opportunity . . . perhaps I'll just wander down to my workshop and play around later today.

I bought a previous parkside welding helmet, one that looked a bit (but not entirely) like this:
It's surprisingly nice to use (although I prefer my parweld one). The main problem I've had with it is I used it while plasma cutting some dirty aluminium and it got a bit splattered. The outer visor is now covered in marks and I've completely failed to find anywhere I can get a replacement visor. In future I think I'll stick with mainstream brands or designs with flat visors rather than ones that are bent.
