The top box has different style riveted handles on each drawer.

Very nice thats the last style they made all the other stuff has riveted pull handles.
I am after a side cab if you hear of any for sale?
One like this



They are excellent boxes sadly not sold for long in the UK they shut down once i think Stanley bought the company.
Garage Journal has a lot of info
They are sometimes sold with the brand Auto Pro on and a slightly different stamping to the front panels. They where sold by independent dealers as an alternative to snap on as little else was available in the 80s.
I believe I have 7 or 8! I bought two Rolls cabs in Crewe which I found strange as both are Auto Pro

Is he trying to hint "put a cork in it"?

15” lump of 8” RSJ for a makeshift anvil.

Just make sure you warm it gently first as a cold shock can result in an unwanted smack in the ear, or worse!

Quoting the post you're referring to would save momentary confusion. Besides, she may like cold clamps.

I did wonder if RSJs shatter if you hit them cold.

Was that advice for me?

I normally try and buy branded stuff but Im getting cheesed of with all this LED stuff that last a million years, saves the planet and saves me money, its all rubbish!!
So rather than the Crompton lamps that lasted about 12 months ive bought some unbranded chinesium which look like they are made in the same place but a third of the price and brighter!
Time will tell if they end up in landfill

Only branded LED bulb in our house that has lasted "as advertised" has been the phillips one.

The rest are consumable....I have single fittings with around 30 LED bulbs per fitting....every few weeks I have one start flickering and have to change it. Still better than the old lamps....used to be every few days....but at least the old ones had the good grace to just go out....instead of going all disco like the LEDs!

No.
It was a reply to an earlier post.

 

[Longhorn6120]

Ok, thanks.

Rescued 2 sets of plug in LED bulb strips destined for bin, £40 a pop in IKEA , epoxied neodymium magnets to the bases so I can detach / move around - the epoxy is winning at the moment, but heck those magnets are strong! The light is good, may need a mirror and some make up to finish the "look"

 

[redlig]

No. Barking Mad. I don't know what I did wrong but for some reason the joke didn't make a reference.
