They are very good, the handles are heavy, they act like a flywheel, give them a spin when installing clean fasteners.

Thank you .
I've just got back home, had dinner and now I'm just releasing the stress.
Anyways tac was 2 days ago .
I've got the results this morning at lunch time.
They described a critical situation but fortunately it solved by itself most likely do to the colic I've got this morning at around 9 AM .
Anyways I've just had to take the situation in control.
The tac said "7mm stone most likely obstructive and right kidney in pain "
I have got scare for my life .
Obviously more afraid of a painful death then needles ,hospitals and blood.
Went there explained the situation in the triage ,got blood exams, and they left the needle there just incase.
Ecografic exame .
Then 4 or 5 ours waiting till got to the urology department, and there again explaining everything.
Another ecography and the specialist told me about the situation explaining I'm fine now but if I wanted I could do the shock waves treatment on Thursday.
I've accepted.

So hopefully I'll temporarily solve a problem I'm struggling with since already 7 years ago.
All in less than a month
Cause I've firstly done a ecography on June 16
Then an urological visit
A tac 2.days ago .
And after a week of painful colics I've had to go to the hospital

Albrecht keyless chucks are a great quality piece of gear !

Well due to having very painful trigger ring fingers on both hands I've opted to have a keyed chuck and will be adding 40 mm extending rod on the longest arm ........ cheap at £8 ish .

I was trying to use a rubber strap jar opener to tighten the chuck and a set of water pump pliers & rubber strip.. the chuck was gritty and stiff.
Seems it has a lh screw thread inside the chuck so undo to the right , then get a 8 mm / 9 mm Allen key in the chuck gently tighten it and smack it smartly anti clock and it should loosen . If they have used stud lock I'll slip a red hot rod into the chuck to warm the stud lock up enough to enable me to undo it.

Temu have refunded the cost of the drill and told me to dispose of it plus they gave me an extra 20% if I buy from them in 6 days .......... money now well spent on a router

Could not resist. Perfect complement to my new sun deck...

I blame YouTube but yes, it is in fact awesome!

Interesting but very expensive. I hate flies.

I wonder if a toy foam/gel gun would be as effective?

I was looking at bb guns... they are much more in my price range... the salt a blast , looks like its a tap loading airweapon with built in salt pot....wouldn't take much to modify something cheaper

On my way home, I get a txt from a Almost Norbert.
"Hi mate, left a box on the drive."

True. He had.

Well. Little human was not happy, no bubble wrap. But I Had seen stuff the small human had not.

As they came out of the box.

It does not have the featherlite feel.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Thes are the items I think the Lill human will like.

A perk of the job is parking in customers Loading bay or back yard.
Many times they have skips.

Skips have things I sometimes like.

To make room for the 8 Wireless digital cameras I dumped, as they had died and gone to Silicon Heaven. I removed this lot.

Watched a prog about him the other day, fascinating bloke - I’d never heard of him till then!

He was a little too non-conventional and was pushed into the background. His traffic analysis techniques were crucial to the success of the Bletchley efforts, and still remain an important part of cryptanalysis to this day.
I think that I saw the same programme.

Snap! Welchman's contributions were massive to the effort, unsung in his time due to secrecy, unwarranted in some opinions.

Always got two or 3 on the go - would really recommend Conrad's Heart of Darkness, which influenced Apocalypse Now, the other stories are excellent also - Although being a Seadog you have likely already read them

I have arthritis in my hands, and have adapted golf ball's as handles for a variety of tools. The one on the chuck key is especially helpful in tightening & loosening bits.
I just drill them undersize, and about 3/4 of the way through, then pound them on. The rubber core provides a strong grip. Just be careful and wear safety glasses while drilling, as occasionally you might come across a very old ball which has a liquid core that can squirt out the contents. Here ar some photos that I believe I have posted before.

I have read Heart, but reading the foreword in Hut 6 has prompted the purchase af a couple more books.
