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

@gav0994 Don't suppose you'd be prepared to let one of the oil guns go, would you? If so, how much posted? {Assuming it/they don't pour oil all over the place..... ]

aye, sure could. will be a few days before I get a play with them to see whether they work or not. From what's been mentioned on filling them earlier in this thread I think they are grease guns, but I may be wrong.

It's an oil gun I'm after - will wait your findings.

Yesterday I acquired;
Two more of those flexible earth leads with odd connectors.

Some kind of vacuum valve/gauge manifold thing?

And a tiny air compressor;


EDIT; How do those pictures look? They're taken with my new phone which has a very nice camera but now I've uploaded them they look a tad fuzzy.

@Maker your pictures look crystal clear to me.

Now all you need are some vices to put them in

This is one of my new toys.
@Parm no this is not the one.

Removed from a site after 24 weeks, so as near to new.
Removed for one very simple reason.



I have rigged a temp mains lead and banged it into "Fire state" to show it working.
Any one hazard a guess why it was removed?

Sensible guess's please.

 

[Dodge20]

Its not intrinsically safe

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Its not intrinsically safe

In the lower picture, yes. but that's not the reason.

 

[Cobbler]

Customer didn't like the colour!

 

[Parm]

It didn't have the beer sign?

 

[Parm]

Just an update

I haven't aquired anything for a long time

 

[anto44]

Got given these today. He says they're about 5 or 6 years old but have been stored in his hotpress.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

@pdg No, it is 32 weeks old, I fitted that way for the reason of.
The other side has certain details what would need photo shop to hide.

 

[rory1]

It caught fire?

 

[rtbcomp]

Went for a mooch around our local car boot/Sunday market at Ayr racecourse this morning on my way home after taking the folks to Glasgow airport. Its usually not worth going, but the good weather has the folk out today flogging their junk.

Got the haul below for a total of £15

That Ford spanner looks identical to a "King Dick" model my dad had.

The test is out of date?

It needs a little clean up on the threads to get it working smoothly. There is another marking on it but not legible due to dirt. Off work on Wednesday so hope to get it and the others working. They'll not be used much but they looked interesting wee tools.

 

[indy4x]

Have collected a few things over the last few weeks

Some welding clamps and small vice off Gumtree and local to me



Mag drill off eBay, again local to me but has a faulty NVR switch, have to keep it pressed to make it work



Went to my local scrap yard and weighed in a load of junk, had the usual natter with the owner and then have a look if there is anything useful and picked up this 8" dia lump for the bargain price of £5-



While I was there I noticed he had got himself a new toy



Interesting way of mounting a smaller chuck
