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

[MetalMonkey]

I already have the full set, but wanted an extra pair for a "grab and go" toolbag I'm putting together.
Zoro have a special on a lot of Knipex at the moment, stacked with a voucher makes them almost affordable.

I find I use the 180's the most. Must admit, I prefer the original design of pliers wrench to this new updated version, but it seems to be OK.

just binned some Draper pump pliers for being carp and annoying once too often so I may invest in some.

They are a good price from zoro on their weekly offer at the minute (especially with the voucher), but not sure how much longer that's on for.

I'd recommend the 250's for proper "full size" toolbox set, but the 180's are very handy for a tool belt or odd job bag.
I've got them up to 300 and down to the 125 (can't see the point in the sub-mini sizes) but don't use the other sizes so much for general use. They do a long nosed version in the 250 which comes in handy on occasion too.

I have ordered a fistful of 1gb USB sticks, I will try and download the info onto them or get @sako243 to do it. I will get a stick to @25.4_mechanic so he can launch it into space and send the rest to @James1979 ,@roofman . @drjim and yourself. Whoever else wants the info in the future can drain it out of Carsten's cloud..

I am certain my back problems are a result of laying hardwood strip flooring. I laid a LOT, for a couple of years. Back in the day the floor nailer was positioned on the strip and you hit it with a heavy mallet, I was usually on piecework too so ignored all the pain and got on with it. The arrogance of youth eh!

I'm out of sympathy this week.
Backs not happy. Knees are complaining and the tendonitis I'm the wrists is flairing up.
Arrogance of middle age.

Working hands is great, but its best to cut or abrade away any dry/hard skin first. Then apply any normal hand cream, half hour later use this and it seals it in. WH is like a sealing wax. If you use it alone on hard skin it wont do much.

I have one of the xtar series with six battery bays. One by one, all the springs busted off their anchors inside. Got two working slots left.
Really, I should have sent it back when the first one broke, too late now.
It's repairable, but a pint'ass.

 

[dobbslc]

That's what happened to my old one and it looks exactly the same design as this does. I found you have to push the tab back with your finger then insert the cell and not just force it down with the cell as that's what snapped mine. I may lube the track this time round.
