Well to be fair the job I could have used it on (replacing the starter in my JCB) was done a while ago but I'm sure I'll use it more and more.

You can always use something like that, you can't do without it.
Any idea what purpose the two recesses in the anvil surface serve?
Thanks,

I am going to process old 18650's & I looked at that charger among others but in the end I went for the opus BT3100. It will be interesting to compare notes on the chargers.

A new to me compressor. I got sick of having to pause the plasma table while the old one caught up. I don't think that's going to be a problem anymore. I work in a nice yard, one of my neighbours came with me to fetch it in his van and another couldn't be around today but left his forklift for me anyway. It was a fun day!

Had to rasher a slice off a 26mm socket to get the critter on the calipers bolts on my daf.

A couple of older die holders in MT2 for the small Myford.
The included dies don't count, they just came with it, I have my host of them.
Good night everyone

Does "tail fin" refer to the Eurobox on the gas bottle or the machine operator's hairstyle?

You love a special bespoke tool! Was it for the 2 inner bolts nearest the axle tube? My mate used to maintain a fleet of DAFs and other trucks/plant, he made special spanners where the ends were cut off, then pressed and welded into long tubular handles. Like my viscous spanners:
Recent acquisitions:
Some Abicor-Binzel dinse 35/50 plugs and sockets. Just need to mortgage a roll of Hi-Flex now.
Some cheap and nasties; an oil squirter for rebuilding engines and some squeeze bottles. No prizes for guessing what the first squeeze bottle was used for.
Some very nice new leather rigger boots. Had my eye on these for a while. Now i won't ruin my trainers when welding.

Someone did ask if we could drop it on Putin...
But you might learn a new dance or two, trying to keep the hot sparks that make their way in the top from doing too much damage

Just something I would like @julianthegypsy to relocate to me.

It's worth getting the protective boot for the Torque Gun https://www.powertoolmate.co.uk/deals/milwaukee-rubber-boot-sleeve-for-m12-fiw-.htm
The boot for the ratchet is still worth it but only protects the head and is a bugger to get on

I've not had an issue with my big impact and that's taken some flying leaps from several metres up. I do take reasonable care of my tools but they are used heavily.

I assumed it was an allusion to the receiver resembling a submarine's hull, given The 'Vark's naval background?

It went! I arrived at the workshop one day and it had gone. Landlord had the audacity to remove it. I know it was his anyway, but still, it was quite uncalled for!
