Picked this up the other day because I’m sick of filling buckets of water in order to fill the paddling pool up and watering the garden.
Found this kit self tapping and everything included in one box… only £10!
Screwfix wanted £26 for the similar kit.
And fitted today
Now she can fill the pool up and water the garden with ease!

Excellent acquisition! I've got a similar high-jacker that has been useful on many occasions, including home renovation work. You might already be familiar with these jacks, but in any case, just be careful to use it correctly so that you don't end up with a permanently high-pitched voice or other bodily damage.Got this today.
Also, check the parts carefully for any cracks or other defects before using it. I had to return one some years ago for that reason. I ended up buying a more expensive (but safer) jack.

Although I had a winch on my Jeep, I also carried a high lift jack bolted to the rear rack. The footpad can be seen on the opposite side of the visible jerrycan.

I keep a Jackall in the back of my defender, I use it in place of the standard jack that does not have enough stroke with a lift and bigger tyres:

They are proper handy. I use mine a lot.
Tons of uses for them. Even tensioning stock netting.
Great for pulling up fence posts etc as well. You can even split logs with the axe head attachment.

Given that's what they were designed for initially I'm not surprised.

I did not know that. They work well on knocked in ones but anything with a concrete base is a pain in the ****. Doable but a pest
Bob should patent his thingy for them

A nice John Bull dial indicator, last calibrated 1990, seems like new with original box:

Wish I'd thought of that years ago, brilliant.

An unbranded set of 8, 10 and 12mm solid carbide boring bars. Really just bought for the 12mm bar, the others are a bonus. Took a chance on them, they feel good and I think they'll be pretty decent. And they take CC--06 which are cheap and plentiful.

Did he happen to reveal how much his SWMBO forked out for it? Divorce proceedings may follow.

It's for whiling away the hours with brasso while someone is watching love island. Bargain!

I only bought it because it was the right price and a couple of miles away, probably going to be a couple of years before I get round to restoring it.
