Brilliant bits of kit, saves dragging leads and a genny about, same sort of grunt as a gut buster with the advantage the thing will stop dead as soon as you release the throttle instead of snapping your wrists off or rotating the world. Good for all the big blacksmith drills in steel and bigger timber bits for drilling sleepers/gateposts.

Bought a couple more Abloys for my collection.
And another ¾" drive 19mm so i can keep a breaker bar with one in the van instead of just the silly little wheel brace.

Same as a cordless drill, from a time before Li-ion.

A Rasta mate of mine has just got a job at Syon Park in London:
Syon Park | The London Home of the Duke of Northumberland
Syon House and Great Conservatory, open to visit, and available for private and corporate events, weddings and filming in West London.
www.syonpark.co.uk
He has to add extra reinforcement to the iron straps bracing the roof timbers, but can only use battery tools as they won't allow trailing mains cables.
Wait for it...
It's coming...

He's gonna drill iron, with a Li-ion, in Syon.

Picked up this inverter suitcase generator last week.
Quite a sad tale from the previous owner. His Dad had breathing problems so was on pumped oxygen at home, the genny was bought in case there was a power cut. Unfortunately he died 2 weeks after getting the genny so it was never used!
£190 in screwfix, I got it for £80! Only 2 months old, he's sending me the receipt as its still under warranty. Only 800w but good enough for camping.

Called at the local auction to lift money for a drill I sold last week. While waiting I spotted something that was in a previous auction but not sold, a laptop charging station. At the time I didn't even look at it but this time I had a brainwave! 
£24 later we manhandled this heavy steel framed beast into the van.
Each tray comes out on drawer runners & lift out. My idea is to repurpose it for my tools by adding dividers to the trays for spanners, etc. On each end theres a large compartment where the laptop chargers went, might use that for hammers. Its big at 4'x4'x28" deep but its on 4 locking castors & easy moved.
There's still another one there but the drawers were fixed on it. Might buy it as it still has its doors which happen to be the right size to fit this one!

You could also remove shelves to have the convenience of slide out drawers for larger tools or items.Called at the local auction to lift money for a drill I sold last week.

Hoping I haven't bought a pup...found this for £45 "incomplete":
Been after one of these 36V Einhell Agillo brush cutters for a while now to run off off Makita batteries like I do the Einhell chainsaw (brilliant). Just missed out on them at £96, bare, on clearance at Machine Mart. Fingers crossed this doesn't get consigned to the "that wasn't the bargain I thought it was" box.

I looked for one of them for ages!! Made a rough copy of the idea in the end.Called at the local auction to lift money for a drill I sold last week. While waiting I spotted something that was in a previous auction but not sold, a laptop charging station. At the time I didn't even look at it but this time I had a brainwave!

They are brilliant for disassembling stuff on like small engines and carbs etc. You can lay everything out and when you need to stop or wait for bits just slide the tray back in.

Yesterday evening some Dickies dungarees, sorry bib overalls, arrived. Only ordered them four days earlier; from Amazon in the US - predicted delivery was another week away!
A bargain £40 incl. delivery with no additional fees! Of course I could've paid £30 plus £20 delivery (and goodness knows what else at the border...) on eBay so was chuffed to find that there's still some semblance of normality bargains if you look for them...

That's exactly it! I'm not a Fifer by birth so I'm really hoping this will help me gain acceptance.
(And Mrs Tangledfeet hates them so that's bonus added value right there...)

Sounds like a win-win at your end

I have some of the duck Carhartt dungarees too; ironically she finds the Dickies denim ones less of a travesty against the human race!

That’s a bit odd!!I have some of the duck Carhartt dungarees too; ironically she finds the Dickies denim ones less of a travesty against the human race!
These have zips down the sides. My mate calls them Stripper Breeks
I wear Mascot ones when I have to be smart. These are pretty indestructible
