Today I acquired...........

[Blobber]

^^ Definitely bright red, probably from China

I would guess it all comes from China but as usual the quality does seem to vary!

 

[Dieselman 63]

I am going to call @KimB out on this one, all her fault. Saw just the handle for sale for £40 so bought one:

Going to try it out at work as it could make fitting scopes less of a tiresome task. Daren't let the Minion loose with an electric screwdriver as I think there would be more cross threaded than not.

Wera drivers are something else. Love mine, but the green is almost always brown til I feel sorry and give them a wash with brake cleaner

 

[4String.]

A bad back .

Have a million and one jobs planned one of which is replacing the dodgy back fence at the tennants' house near Durham, the materials for which were delivered to 4String Towers yesterday. Sorting through it all this morning, picked up a bag of postcrete and ouch , laid up yet again dosed with pain killers and hot water bottle deployed.

On the plus side, there's worse ways of passing the time than sitting in front of the idiot box watching the heavenly body that is Nigella Lawson .

You, my good sir, are a man of impeccable taste.

Really like my Knipex Cobras but often found them a bit too big, so I've gone from one extreme to the other...

Had a similar pair, back in my Marconi days. I must hunt them out again.

If I do not post anything for 48 hours I am in the one of the lofts.

 

[Seadog]

A few more bits for my mill upgrade

 

[Jan-DIY]

Success.
Today discovered nearly new Fronius pulse controller, connecting cables and my 5th foot pedal in a set.
Really a bargain.
price is to good to be true.
No pictures available now but will send some when arrived.

I've barely sorted these, apparently came from rolls Royce in Sunderland, the guy got them in a load of lista style tool cabinets/drawers (would love a few of them!) paid not a lot for them considering the sheer number of tips and parting tools...

Obviously I'm never going to use them all so some will be for sale soon. Will message a mod about the ad as there will be more than 3 items. I got them for the cnmg type and the rcmx type.

I'm looking for Ceratizit FX2.2 parting tips if there are any in there Dan. There's some on ebay but they are quite expensive.

Failing that a whole parting blade/tip setup if you got one.. Thinnest I can get.

I'll have a look. I'm not familiar with parting tool tip numbering as much as with say a cnmg etc. Is fx2.2 a widely used number? This lot is mostly Kennametal and sandvik with some iscar

 

[Seadog]

Some more goodies. Four for £51. They're now £61

I'm looking for a Sandvik parting tool. Tell you the part no. Next week.

Oh and I'm after an iscar parting tool holder that takes certain inserts. Again I'll let you know next week.

FX is the type 2.2 the width in mm. I've fitted one of the holders to my QC parting tool holder.

I'll make a list when I'm back home, at the inlaws over in the North East and very glad I checked Facebook marletplace now!!

I have something similar, which has been my go > to pliers since I was a kid. They have an honoured place in my desk top tool kit.

 

[8ob]

Some bits and pieces I acquired for a flowbench I want to build.

 

[fizzy]

Well I aquired this last year but because of lockdowns it was out of reach until now.
Wish my trailer was ready. Far too tall for the Sprinter van so palletised it nicely and shipping through one of our pallet networks Monday.
A tad bigger than I thought
Jones and Shipman quality.

 

[fizzy]

I looked out for a 120x120 pallet to make it more stable. Coach bolts through from underneath and a sheet of ply screwed down to beef it up a bit. Guessing about 800kg maybe more.
