Bargain there...I did a tip run this afternoon. Spotted something in a metal box.
Went to ask the employees if I can have it.
They said no, sorry.
Super sad face
As I turned around, thinking this will now be smelted the old guy said 'I am working up here, I can't see down there'
Very happy face

Not sure if the torque wrench are any good. I guess I can use it as a breaker bar or ratchet if not.
Matt, where did you get those? Wouldn't mind some genuine adapters and a few more cutters for the set

Amazon.
For some reason, that particular set is cheaper than buying the bare holesaw.
Was originally looking for a 67mm, but then saw that one at a ridiculously low price, & thought: I don't give a monkey's about it being an extra mm. That'll do.

Those Bosch white hole saws are really good, especially for fish mouthing tube, on railings.Matt, where did you get those? Wouldn't mind some genuine adapters and a few more cutters for the set
They don't make them anymore, they're blue now, and won't cut mild steel, saw a Bosch commercial rep, last week, he confirmed it.

If you see Bosch white hole saws in the size you need, buy them, they don't make them anymore, the new ones are rubbish.

Really? I thought the Blue vs White were merely designed for different applications.

They don't make the white anymore, they don't touch steel tubing.

Went to a local boot fair today, rarely have time to go; but, lots of stalls, loads of tat/dross -however, there is the odd useful item to be had....
The four boxes of Hokey Cokey Nitrile gloves for a tenner seemed good value; beaten by the two Record G clamps for a fiver. And beaten again by the 'yeah, it's an air chisel mate' actually a Pneumatic aircraft rivet gun, for bucking (need to be careful of the pronunciation on that) solid rivets -paid 4 Quid for that, bought it home, cleaned it up a bit, put some air tool oil into it, and it works perfectly...
After a swift clean up, the G clamps joined all their brothers sitting over the top of my welding bench.

Pleased you mentioned this. I didn't know Makita did one of these. I was looking at a Milwaukee 12v sander today but I'd rather stick with the LXT platform.

Do keep up with all of the tool temptation threads, old chap.
The Makita was mentioned in the poly disc thread.Edit: Link: https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/poly-strip-discs.130338/post-2278747

Went to a local tooling dealer this afyernoon after finding out the jaws on my 3 jaw have been badly ground.
I wanted external jaws too and figured if I needed to replace both sets of jaws, I may as well buy a chuck.
Caved in and bought this 7.5".
Paid dealer prices but it also came with the ability to freely rummage their entire stock when I need anything. Open access to a HUGE store of used tooling and a friendly contact is worth paying dealer price I guess.
It wasn't too bad, £140, and is in good condition apart from some grinder damage to the end of the jaws. I'll probably grind that out when it's on the lathe.
