I got the same and for that purpose too but bamboo screening. The wife ended doing the stapling and since disappeared into her drawer of stuff

Ullman are better still. My cousin almost exclusively uses Snap On (Including that pick set), but I noticed the other week he's pinched my Ullman set.

Can’t say I’ve ever heard of Ullman but as you can buy Rolson picks from around £4 I think I will stick with themUllman are better still. My cousin almost exclusively uses Snap On (Including that pick set), but I noticed the other week he's pinched my Ullman set.
How the hell did you spot that on a major A road Mr Dhamer

It was back in May, but I found a Hypertherm Powermax 1650 about 70 miles away. $600.
Brought it home (was un-tested, took a risk on it) wired it up to the RPC and got some red warning lights....
took the torch consumables out, and worked for about an hour to get things better (no lights). Hand torch
is pretty toasted, trigger is boogered up, o-rings gone, etc.
I have a Max100 plasma, it's on the CNC table presently and cuts 1/2" plate (pretty much max for it).
This 1650 is an inverter at 100 amps.....whoo boy ! Pull trigger, and 1" plate is melting off like hot butter....Need to get a machine torch for it.

I have these ones, perfect for my use.
Don't have any Snap on tools, would love to have a garage full of them buy can't justify the price for DIY use. Tempted to buy one of their 1/2" ratchets though but would have to keep it safe in the bedroom

Found a petrol chainsaw on FB for £15 "Its ran fine last year won't start this year". It was nearby so I went and got it coz I need a petrol one to compliment my electric one.
It's always the same problem with these small engines. Rotted fuel line. I bought a pack of 6 when I got my long reach strimmer which wouldn't start.
As suspected - fuel line split.
2 hours later and I have one very health cheap chainsaw with a new Oregon bar and chain fitted too

In Africa , if you get offered Walkie Talkies, be prepared for a stew of Chicken feet and heads…So not just the eastern countries that eat strange,to the western world,things. Think it goes with you eat what you get and you don’t complain kind of ethos you find in countries ,where starvation is a real thing.
Rewired the mains cable.
Borrowed a lead from my old buzz box (which is much thinner than the earth lead on this "new" welder).
First test. Selected 100A and gave it a quick go. Works ok but I'll obviously try other settings when I get a chance.

It's 2 days late, and not a genuine Sykes-Pickavant, but it was also only £14 delivered, and as long as it gets my drop-arm loose I'll be happy.

It's also not the right one, given it was described as a "Landrover series steering drop arm spline puller"...
and this is it not coming close to fitting a steering drop arm on a series Landrover.
I apparently bought the last one from the place I ordered mine, but this is the equivalent from a different supplier for a few more quid:
eBay Link
Whether it will actually be the correct tool when it arrives for you, who knows?
