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

[MattF]

A nutsert tool. Not an expensive jobbie, but I only need it to do one insert. Owt after that is a bonus.

Got it to do this:



The internal M10 nut has dropped off. Was trying to think of the best way to remedy it last night, & plumped for the nutsert route. Least faff method.

 

[MattF]

Well,ok. But you had stated that the box was empty.

That's cos he emptied it of its contents, for that photo.

Not difficult to sucker me.

I never said the box was empty.
I just said it was heavy.

Not difficult to sucker me.

I will say no more on that.

This came the other day. Quite partial to the design of these. I've had a standard one on the van for a couple of years or so now, & they hold up well. Good for pouring from too, for the power tools.

The explo-safe bit is this:

Filled with a wire mesh. Supposed to aid heat dissipation. Means you can't shove the filler nozzle right in though, as with a standard can.

Not seen one of those for a while

You could have borrowed my nutsert tool and saved yourself the purchase price of the tool, ok it would have cost you fuel costs, but........your not that far away?

Cheers for the offer. I don't have a car any more. Besides, now I've got one, it's there if I ever need it again. You know what it's like once you acquire a new tool. You start finding uses for it.

Neighbour asked me if I could make use of it.

Are you doing a turn as Davros in the next series of Dr Who?

Only if he doesn't show his third eye.

What's it do?

 

[Blobber]

What's it do?

Looks like it might be a power float?

 

[Moose McAlpine]

What's it do?

It's a thing for smoothing wet concrete. It sort of floats on the surface and skims it flat.

 

[RichardM]

I think that'll be a test of @8ob's driving skills

I hope you keep the camera handy

I brought a bottle of Bacardi 151 proof back from Puerto Rico once that had one of those on the neck of the bottle!! It had a flammable warning on the back and a big notice not to remove the “flame arrestor”

A friend of mine brought some of that back, he spilt some on their table and set light to it, the mark is still there where it stripped the varnish.

Another tracksaw for my collection.

Flexvolt. Wouldn't know it wasn't mains. Gave it a good test today.

Festool died last week 4 cuts into a job . The 18v DeWalt I bought from @HughF saved my bacon and bit the bullet for the flexvolt.

110v DeWalt has been out of action for a while. Might finally get the blade securing bolt out. Made of bloody cheese

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

Sold the 18v today. Festool should be collected tomorrow leaving me a more respectable two saws left.

465 tonnes later...

The public highway is only about 20 foot to the right of the new road , it's a pleasure to drive long the new laid stone , any rain will simply gently percolate through the stones for years to come .... long before any land slip occurs as the base of the road is made up of the dark grey limestone rocks & porous finings

 

[Tinbasherdan]

Picked this up for a few shillings today it's a good starter and runs sweet. Anyone now much about them? View attachment 341184

Is it a 625 or a 630? I would guess a 625, same as mine

I managed to set a nut insert on the inside of a square tube on a bench saw crushing the flange on the outside . Putting a foot or so of copper wire down through the hole so it poked out the tube / threaded the inverted nut on the copper & gently fed it up into the hole then started to press it up using a small pry bar . Used a short tube longer than the shank and several threads , that was clearance for a high tensile Allen cap screw . Then Allen keyed it tight which drew the insert though and flattened the skirt nicely .

I'm told you can do an external one easily using a 1/2 " flat bar long enough to be clamped in place with a clearance hole for the Allen key , use a quality claw hammer if you have space to set the externally fitted Rivinut . Clamp the clearance holed bar over the nut , wind in the Allen screw and claw the head up on a round bar pivot .
