I don't know if I've missed something , maybe a DeWalt for repairing an elu (so other 2 )

Dammmit! I've only got 7 plus the electric and air die grinders, I do have three bench grinders though...
Oh, and a pair of tiny pencil air grinders. And a router that can be forced to work as a toolpost grinder...

At first glance the illustration on the box seems to be of a monster child having bitten the head off her friend.

I didn't mentioned the die grinders (electric and air) and the bench grinder too
There's evidently a problem likes compulsory tool buying disease

It what I told the wife....

Model aeroplanes never followed me home but I did win a nitro RC helicopter in a raffle…

 

[Johnnybravo]

As winter looms I've decided to join the Darwin Awards Dodgers Club (CO division) with a Webasto type copy diesel heater for the workshop.

It's the "8" kW model - which the spec says uses 0.46 Litres/hour, so by my calculations must also be pulling at least 3.14 kW of electricity.

From what I've seen on the Youtube most of the heat goes straight out of the exhaust so some kind of heat exchanger would be a good idea - a lot of people use wet systems but that seems unnecessary if it's not to store or move and just heat the air, so I'll think of something with a big surface area to send the exhaust through before it goes outside to fertilize the rain forests.

That carbon fibre wrap is going to absorb at least 3kw…

I don't think so, there's a layer of kevlar underneath.

loving your pic(avatar?) sums up this forum perfectly , the scream, head like a nut..no no I dont need to buy more tools , it could /should be the forum Logo ,brilliant .

 

[Johnnybravo]

Well in that case the output might top 4kw

Chinese very optimistic with their output claims. If you work it back from fuel consumption and the energy available from the fuel, it’s nowhere near 8kw out.

I run them in the workshop, they work astonishingly well. Just change the gauze filter around the glow plug once a year, run them on kerosene ( heating oil) and resist the temptation to premix it with old engine oil !

 

[GG1]

and resist the temptation to premix it with old engine oil !

I'm shocked, who ever would countenance such a thing? That would be illegal and cause horrendous environmental damage, pestilence and global boiling. Unless you pay the council in which case it's fine.

 

[Brad93]

if you can get some small diameter stainless flexible suction you could just run it back and forth a few times on the back of an clarke fan or similar.

I recieved some old heating oil from a friend who put a new bunded oil tank in on the farm. Thought it looked a bit dirty, but figured probably just old. Endless hassles with the heater after about 20 litres of the stuff. Turned out it had old Rotella diesel oil chucked in there to get rid. Wasn’t amused. Everything carboned up inside

You need to send me that lot.
I will do all the QA testing or you.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

A sudden trip the the Isle of White.

But I did get to see some old friends.

Got a large box.

This was in it.

Old school pocket money saving tin.

A Lead pipe de-burring tool.

A tin of Gramophone record needles.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

It was a big box.

It had this as well.

Plus this.

Finally this.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Today I got another box.

I had help to un pack it. A small human is is awe that I get stuff.

It is, as always well packed.

Oh my, bubble wrap, this will take some time.

Ear Marked to be repaired in MIS.

Ear marked to fix my new to me hedge trimmer.

Railway Lantern.

The 4 E309L Esab vacpack arrived today not exactly well packaged but fortunately no damages,the packages are perfectly fine and air thigh so no damages
@Brad93 if you remember you was asking why so cheap I believe that my theory might be plausible .
I believe:
They thought that because of the size of the rods (3.2 and 4mm) they could have difficulty to sell them.
Probably ordered for someones job he didn't bought the entire box(think 5 pieces for box) , no-one bought directly from them the remaining packs and they sold them dirt cheap on eBay .
That's how I think they ended up on eBay

If that's a Thorn lamp, I might have a brand new, un-used, still in the box, tube, backplate and holder - although I have a sneaking suspicion I binned it a couple of weeks ago as obsolete and no use . . .

A Raptor steel instrument binnacle for my Defender to replace the broken plastic original.
