Hadn't made the firefighter connection (no pun intended) but surprised that they don't use 200 or 300 bar tanks; you can't have too much air IMO.

A couple are 200 bar (5x 3L's and one 9L weighing 13kg...) but these tanks are manufactured '98ish looking at some tags so back then the pressures achieved nowadays weren't that common with diving etc and they're built extremely thick.
If they happen to be in test they will be worth selling as above to PCP air rifle owners- who can still get them refilled.
Doubt it otherwise they wouldn't have been at this auction lol. Proper heavy duty tanks anyway being for commercial application not consumer (from here original going on the labels) so wouldn't be surprised if they passed testing and half of them were still full!

If I wasn't retired already, I would have taken you up on that offer, so Thanks anyway, it is appreciated.

Some places that fill them can also do the tests.
My nearest is Stoney Cove in Leicestershire....

I think a lot of these cylinders get pensioned off after ten or twenty years. May be ok for those that can charge them themselves.

I've bought this thing
It looks old I've never seen one before, it should be a Baier portable HSS cold saw .
From a little research it's surely expensive, and it's usually used to cut round stock, pipes and cables .
I've bought it just to get it apart and see how this thing works cause I've discovered its existence in the moment I've seen it on eBay .
And that's very strange cause I love so much powertools that I still have to understand why I didn't know it yet.

They won't fill them if not in test, and not many people have access to high pressure pumps.

Nice 3" vice !
The jaws look to be for a specialized purpose. It would seem easy enough to mill the protrusions down, and just clean up the top of the jaws ?
