Ditto, and good reminder that I've been meaning to get a set for ages.I've modified old screwdriver's in the past on the rare occasions I needed a pick. Thanks for mentioning your positive experience with the Rolson picks, I'll be on the lookout for a set. For what they are, I can't see the need to spend a lot.
Damn, Amazon suppliers won't send to Ireland hardly at all now, including several I've dealt with quite happily before the B-word.
I ended up getting a set of Draper long reach picks. They'll do for now, at least.

It may well work - but might work better (or worse) with a different mesh - have a read of this by an ex-colleague at the company I used to work for:
Reader Questions - Baskets for Ultrasonic Cleaning - CTG Technical Blog
In a properly designed ultrasonic cleaning tank, the ultrasonic intensity will be relatively uniform throughout the volume of the tank.techblog.ctgclean.com
John knew a bit - been involved for 52 yrs in ultrasonic cleaning.
You should never confess to anything, especially here.
I am looking at buying a new ultrasonic and need some advice.

This came today along with a tapping head (bought the box and got what was in it, including a used first aid kit?) so I will be looking around to find somewhere to sell it (suggestions welcome). Really nice thing, I suppose it is sort of "Vintage Diagnostics" :-)
Even the instructions survived.

interesting stuff, aye mine works, but interesting to see his comments on the tighter mesh maybe being less efficient. I'll be honest I hadn't given it any thought, just put it in, saw jewellers type ultrasonics using very fine mesh so just copied the idea. Noticed I sometimes have to put really ****ty parts through a couple of times but I put that down to just using demineralised water, with no cleaning agent to avoid furring up or damaging the really small carb parts off chainsaws, small engines etc. Now after reading that, could it be that it's maybe more the mesh size? might do some experimenting to see.
The problem is the advantage of the small mesh is for really small components, jets etc... which is pretty much all I use it for, so it's maybe a trade off efficiency against practicality. Although Jewellers, watch makers and the like pretty much exclusively have to use the smaller mesh for the size of the parts, and theirs obviously work? what do they do differently? different frequencies range maybe? interesting subject though......
Bought off ebay, and just arrived today. I’ve been thinking of making some of these clamps for a while now, but I saw these, put in a bid and won.
No sizes were given in the listing, and it turns out they are big. I didn’t have a mug handy for scale, so the chess set will have to do.
I probably won’t need them all, but who cares.

you will, one day you will, and despite how many you have, you'll need 1 more . it's a strange law, the number of clamps needed equals number available -1... or it just seems that way;..

Wanted some VHT paint.
Nipped out to my normal place.
This was on the counter and I asked what was wrong with it.
Was told it didn't work, but I could take it away for spares for mine, so I did.
I also brought more than VHT paint. I got all the paint I need.
Got it home, true it didn't work.
Hmm, cant think why it didn't work.
10 mins later it was fixed.
Oh that cable is after I cut it out and fixed a new length.

Three (empty 
) kegs and a pallet and a half screwed to a sheet of ply.
I doubt the kegs are any use for home brew but they'll make nice crappy upcycled garden seating, could even just cut the top out and make big stainless buckets, always handy.
The wood will be a vast improvement on our current garden table. Got a BBQ in a couple of weeks so pretty good timing.

They belong to the brewery and they will take action to get them back.
Just don't be showing their name or any details on them.
My local scrap yard will not take them.
They will take you details, keep the kegs and inform the old bill.
Who will come round and take your money.

Can't cast them, they're 304 stainless. I had understood the brewery opened them, but as you can see someone else acquired them before me and left them out free to a good home. Wouldn't stand up in court I suppose but I doubt it would ever go that far, it's not like I was stupid enough to post pictures online.

I saw a stainless steel keg made into a sink when I was in Spain. The top was cut out and welded back in upside down; it looked way cool.Three (empty

If you have the time and inclination, please could you post a scan/good photo of both sides of the leaflet. Thanks.

Can't get a decent photo since it's a bit crumpled...would need to iron it first. Anyhow, it's not terribly interesting only 2 pages of English
