Has anybody got one of these?

these looked useful, every time I go and grab a wheel barrow the tyre is invariably flat. That concrete barrow must be heavy though

View attachment 338100

I wonder if these meet current H&S standards?

My Dad still has a metal wheeled concrete barrow like the one in that advert. Only wheelbarrow he has ever owned,at least 50 years old, it’s never been welded or repaired. It’s been Used to build four of his houses during that time,and wasn’t new when he bought it….

I acquired/ won this a few days ago. It’s a brand of tools I’ve never had or used. It’s a Skil 9021, 600w. It feels well built, a bit heavy maybe ( 1.7kg). The on off button is stiff but I’ll get used to it. Can’t say much more about it at the moment, hopefully get to use it over the weekend

Skil are cheapo disposable DIY level Chinese tools.

 

[MattF]

all for being nice.

Who are they for then?

Few bits today.
5' Ally Slash clamps.

In use already.

A Fored Escort RS.
Needs a lot off atention.

A slot car version. This type is not rare, but it is not as common as the Texco one.

In the past, some one has removed the lights, cables and fixings. Back in the day it was thought it would make the car go faster.
It didn't.

A small Traction engine.

A small Show mans engine.



This small Oil lamp was heading to the scrap yard.

It does need to be fixed, the rick goes down, but not up.

Can you tell us a bit more about the paints please Nick, I can’t read the labels, and could do with something better than I’m currently using.

Been meaning to replace the heads on my Thor nylon mallet for years, finally new ones today.

 

[RichardM]

@Rannsachair you could have turned the BBQ bits off the old heads and they would have lasted many more years!

Tight as a gnats jacksy.


Well done.

I wonder.. if the likes of Thingyverse have the stl's for 3D printing them now that nylon is available as a filament ?

I have one which has no thread, and after a few hits it would fall off. Found a replacement at the NEC restoration show today. I mean, I could just use the other Thor hammer in the cupboard, but then I'd still have one that needs repairing.

I get it from a jotun supplier,always satin,it’s a bit too quick drying sometimes,especially when it’s warmer,so ask them for a slower one,I also specify for brushing,however I occasionally spray with it ,just using standard thinners,it’s a lovely tough finish,the next day it resists the thumb nail scrape.

I wonder if you didn't act a little hastily .....
