You want to know the contents, don't you?

Love the pad saw been collecting them for a few years surprised how many different ones are available, never seen the metal box for one though, let me know if you would like to part with it?

There are words/names for people like you.
Feckers.
So will the element in your hot water tank if you run it dry. I still wouldn't trust it unattended.
Noted and understood - thanks both.Use one of those heaters all the time. No issues with it just don't ever leave unattended and don't stick your hand in the water.
I'm not surprised, it's possibly 110V!A heating element for workshop related fluid warming, citric etc heating, not sure I trust it, gets blisteringly hot in seconds..

To keep you happy.What is it?
Making me small primus camping stove wind breaks?Yesterday I acquired this. A square metre of 10mm aluminium alloy.
Time to get on with a little project that I've been mulling over.

I acquired this Bosch LR-7 receiver to pair with my GLL 3-80 laser level / cross line laser. Bosch Pro deals are really good, I got it for free by registering on Bosch's website and entering the info for my GLL 3-80 (I was lucky, it had to be bought in april this year).
Not super sure why i bought this, but £26 posted, and its a nice object, so why not.
I'm assuming (hoping) the screw by the small vial is for calibrating the main vial?

I've not tried adjusting it, but I have been checking it. Not with any degree of great accuracy though, just on the table while having a tea break.Yes is probably is but if you think it's out, before making any adjustments check the underside for dings and burrs which will usually show as shiny spots on the underside right at the edge (which is where it will get damaged if it's going to happen). Set it flat on your surface plate and make sure it doesn't rock. If you have a granite plate, rub it gently and then lift it up and check for any marks it left to indicate a burr. If you find a burr you'll need to carefully stone it with a hard stone.
To check it, set the plate on something solid, level it as best you can, set the level on the plate and find a spot where it reads level. Now block two sides of it with some weights and then spin it round and gently put it against the blocks you set. The blocks are so it goes back in exactly the same place, and not measure discrepancies in the plate or cause the plate to tilt under it's weight. Spin it several times and check if it consistantly reads the same or not. Don't move about on the floor when doing this or it might register the bend in the floor as you move your weight.
