This Drill tin was sent to me.
It was empty, but it was the centre of a lesson today for a friend. He knows about metric drill and imperial sizes. Bit this tin was in the drill size:
"A to Z"
This was new to him.

So out with a Zues book and a box of odd drills.



After an hour.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Yesterday I was given this lot.



Suitable for spares.



Ignore the Zeus book.
A brace of Bit and brace drills.

We have enough of theses, but these are going to be kept.
Why?
The jaw springs and jaws are in very good condition.

So that would be Brace of Brace drills then

Tile cutter is now with a local group of handy people who do small repairs for venerable people.

Are there a lot of archdeacons in your part of the world?

The Forester bits are being held back from MIS etc, ready to go into action when the ready to use set gets damaged.

Should they not go to the local Subaru club?

Under the muck.
It's nearly as bad as your keyboard.

Just kidding.
*Nothing* is as bad as your keyboard...

So is my car, now.

The hose on the foam brush at Morrisons jet wash was split, so I blagged a full refund on it as well.

I haven’t had to get pics lately but got the little chainsaw from my partner, I bartered with him that he doesn’t need 6 chainsaws and to sell one or give me one, so it’s mine now

Bought these off market place for £15, I thought it was a good buy, not sure if they’re the older type or more modern.

I was on a job with my dad the other day, they were clearing the whole house, the lady had either died or gone into a home. Anyway they were going to throw the little toolbox out and the safety spectacles so I had to save them. I have a some other bits too from other places and I’d lake to create a fun feature on my wall in the new garage.

I think 6 chainsaws is known as "a good start".

The drill case, will get it's own post.
The carboard box and handles have gone to a local charity who collect furniture to be donated to those in need.

The same with the drawer runners and the rest of the cupboard fixings. I was told the legs, hinges and fixings are very hard to find. At a decent price.

I am keeping the file card here, for the job of cleaning donated files.

The above tools are on their way to a local tool charity.

The charity who collect furniture wanted to press money into my hands, I declined.

But They did give me this.

Yes, 4.7 volume, only ever guaranteed 19and 2 thirds fluid ounces. Never a full pint. (was part of my heritage) They reckon it was so the bottle wouldn't burst when it was capped. I have my doubts. There was also a half pint bottle ( a pup) also an intermediate sold in the army naafi. very susceptible to going off. (sell by date) The Gold surround on the label was changed to black when Newcastle got demoted to the second division. I've had a couple of bottles in my past.

Won't edit, any way Clint Eastwood's favourite drink, also was available on draught. I'm not an expert on these matters.
