I haven't used one of those for 45 years

I haven't used one of those for 45 years

I used them yesterday.
The stoves were inside the mess tins.

I wanted the metal mug to use on my brass meths. stoves. But 2 things toped me buying one

1. The price £15.
2. The price.

Yes they are the same, but important enough to mention twice.

These days I use a Trangia Pan Set and MSR Dragonfly Petrol Stove, (ignore the meth's burner)
Hope fully there will always be petrol to steal out of my KTM fuel tank when in the middle of no where.

a few things came today, but this little Raaco assorter I really like, for the new plasma consumables (right) and matches my two TIG assorters. I should sort out the rest of the drawer too!

 

[Nick DV]

This arrived this morning. There are a couple of issues with it, hot starting and it runs hot, but otherwise pretty good for a 50 year car.

And this arrived this afternoon. Hopefully I won't need it for the above.

A large heavy tool box, from a kind member on here, who is a bit north of the M4.



Well packed as well.



The rest are random sample of the contents.

Boxes of milling cutters

A samson angle bender, I need to make the eccentric pin and vice block but other wise it's all complete.

 

[jerrytug]

I've needed a medium stilson about 20 times in the last week, so I looked on ebay, and just paid £14 for this weird version. Made in England, I wonder what for? ..it's a bit quirky as the jaws are not angled like usual.

I've one the same, I believe it's used for plumbing.

Head can be swapped either side for poor access.

Would it not be better to swap for good access

Made here

I think the head can be swapped around when the bottom jaws wear out. Apart from the moving jaw the tool is symmetrical.

............................ Head can be swapped either side for poor access.

Flipped over, the handle has the same configuration because the handle is straight; so I can't see how it would make any difference.
Edit: What Pete said.

Access my friend, access, never been stuck for space under a sink ? tightening, unscrewing.

Could be wrong, mind you, has been known.
