You don't need those spindle adapters. Just get polishing mops with a hole large enough to fit on a regular bench grinder arbor.

That's a great little impact I have one this 4 years or so. Great for engine work etc. You'll want some impact stubby 3/8 sockets too. And I have quality sealey premier black series impact Allen and torx bits that work great with it too.Today I acquired a bit of Red , a hefty little beast .

best price was powertoolmate . with a make your own kit , got the 5.0 high out put battery was on offer boot ,extension a 2.5 red battery and a second charger . Chargers are £12.50 at the minute . but for some reason the 2,5 batt and charger have been sent separately oh and a set of 1/4" dr deep impact sockets . Iv'e already a couple of 4.0 copy batteries for the die grinder and polisher and theyv'e been ok so far .been impressed with die grinder so I thought why not spoil your self
Very good impact for glow plug removal etc. I set it at lowest setting and let it slowly rattle the glow plug out over the space of a minute or so. Works superb and doesn't risk snapping it off.
Large grinding wheel centre inserts to pack out, those Henry's have a hell of a suck.I'm not sure how useful Henri would be once you've taken the hose off.
@MattF I don't know exactly what you were about to post back, but I PMSL when I could not reply

I'm quite looking forward to using it , I've already a pretty good selection of impact socketry . I tend to use it most of the time over standard sockets .

I decided to be a good boy & deleted the post.
It may have been a suggestion that you were the chap to answer @Maker's question. Your Henry seems to have a very broad smile. Btw, it's a house of pain. Totally different thing to a torture chamber.

A more permanent VHF/UHF radio station after I found my decent power supply in the loft while I was looking for something else (which I didn't find)

Some more additions to the TeamGreen stable.
One I've had for a while, but waiting for it to stop raining before I put it to serious use.
The other two are new, not used in anger, but a quick test with the belt sander was quite impressive.
Never ceases to amaze me how far we have advanced in cordless tools.

I do like Hikoki stuff . edit were thet FFX ....
Made the mistake of going into Lidl last evening.
Ended up with an armful of bits & bobs from the tool section (small handy stuff mainly).
I also bought the Parkside Full Colour Welding Mask, which comes with a nifty (cor when did that word last get an airing!) Led worklight built-in (which even has an Auto setting so it'll only light up in low light conditions!).
This last is what tempted me tbh, as in poor light I do struggle to see the weld pool.
Anyone got one of these masks & tried it out? (I've only tried it on & used the Test button to check it works).

Mixture of Power Tool World, ECA, and FFX but via their eBay store with a voucher.
Big downside with this gear is finding suppliers with the stuff in stock at a reasonable price, the variation in pricing and supply issues seem to be a real issue. The tools themselves are great.
They have a battery redemption offer on at the moment if you spend £300 before the end of March, but you have to buy it all from one supplier in one transaction to qualify, which I personally think is a bit cheeky given most of their dealers are out of stock of at least 50% of their products at any given time.
The Plasma's were all gone in my local store. I have a prev version already (no onboard air, but I have compressors so no problem there) which has the self-ignite feature.
There was a Sabre Saw (corded) for £37.99 that I was tempted by, but resisted (I'm spending enough doing my van as it is).
