ECLIPSE PIPE WRENCH SWEDISH PATTERN STYLE 3" INCH 76mm for £5.99 delivered! Thanks to whoever shared the ebay link! I was thinking it’d be more the size of the pliers on the right next day delivery aswell…https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ECLIPSE-...=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

I was thinking the same, except I have too many pipe wrenches already that I rarely use. Decided to pass, even though it is a great deal.

 

[slim_boy_fat]

how long do you think it will take for the old key to turn up ?

7 minutes 47 seconds

 

[Kram]

Looks like I have ordered a pipe wrench, thanks

@Turbo where are the pics of your new Wera Torx screwdrivers???

Got these this morning off the local fb, £5... They're not sykes but will do a job!

Odd one at the bottom is apparently a hotpoint puller for washing machines.

 

[Munkul]

Nice, they're the sort of pullers that you don't mind butchering to make do, either - e.g. grinding the bottoms of the jaws sharp.

No fear of abusing them with the impact gun either.

Was given some MT2 taper drill bits by a friend. The tapers are rough so I've decided to turn them down in the lathe to use with a conventional drill chuck. Also, I took a punt on a spare carb for the D3 Bantam. Got lucky as internally its all in good condition without corrosion or galling of the slide section.

But tyres maintain pressure so much better when inflated with nitrogen

I do hope that was tongue in cheek!

Today I acquired a cabinet with some goodies in it. I knew it had been dropped off at my workshop so I called in on the way home to put it inside, bleeding heavy/awkward

Inside it has all these nice goodies.

There is a screen/display of some sort on the cabinet, not had a chance to investigate yet but it is almost certainly for the Siemens PLC..

A mt3-mt2 open ended sleeve from RDG. Its a bit poo and might be going back. The rear of the mt2 socket is rough unground in places where the casting was too thin. The only shop I can see selling plain open ended type without a tang drift slot.

Thanks for the link, I ordered 2 which are on their way. The price is now £36.99!

Mine is showing shipped by fedex and 3kg weight. I bet that cost most of what we paid

Because i am a sensible adult consumer i bought a Lego Audi Sport Quattro S1.

HMI?

 

[Hood]

HMI?

I would imagine so.

 

[Onoff]

Good draft, never tried the bottles.

Different strengths aren't they, bottled vs draft?

A mt3-mt2 open ended sleeve from RDG.

I think the open-ended unslotted type are also known as headstock sleeves. G&M have one: https://gandmtools.co.uk/product/boxford-3-2-morse-taper-headstock-sleeve/

 

[Pete.]

They can also be used to put MT2 tooling in a MT3 mill spindle. The open back end allows for the drawbar. Same for things like dividing heads.
