I already have an imperial thread file, and a metric one. I didn't really look at these 2 when I bought them. I noticed one was metric, the other I couldn't really see. Turns out it's whitworth! Perfect! I seem to work on alot of whitworth stuff.

Not today but a couple of days ago I got one step closer to @8ob's perfect house. Directly above a man cave.
Wired in the lights in the new office before carpets start being fitted tomorrow and the day after. Toilet was all plumbed in provisionally to work out routing of pipes but has been removed for the vinyl to go down.

This is the headlamp tester I bought on Friday. It came with the wheels and stand etc this is just the main unit.
There is what looks like a small LED screen on top of it and a test light button. I presume that is a lux meter. So tomorrow I'll open it and replace the internal battery to see if that works again. But really these are quite simple devices.
This one has an LED alignment gauge too.
I paid £80 for it which I think is decent it would be £500 odd new.
The tinware is a bit rusty at the edges. So I may well be blasting and repainting it in the near future.

Handy things, thread chasers. I've used them on occasion on damaged threads.

A QRP radio and a 200w amplifier 
It is for portable use and the amp is just because 'why not'

Beware of splatter if feeding it more than half its rated input. All the RM amps are like that, except the HLA series, which have proper filtering on them.A QRP radio and a 200w amplifier

I have been warned, cheers
I have ordered a 100w 40db attenuator so I can test it at half power. I can then work out what filtration I need to make for it. It will only be used on 20 & 15m if I struggle with the X6100 being heard.

Back in the days of CB I recall Zetagi(?) meant amp like Hoover meant vacuum cleaner. They were Italian too.

Get your boots on or turn the burner on
I knew someone with a rear wing mounted antenna that used a burner and it would induce current in the heated rear window element and illuminate the "on" switch on the dash, another trick was to key up outside a TV shop and watch all the screens scramble (CRT TV days)
