Today I acquired...........

[Memmeddu]

A straight edge for checking cylinder blocks and heads.
Not going to use it for that, being theorycally precision ground I'm thinking to use it for checking guide surfaces on my machines.

Then I've bought a set of drill bits from Würth

1 to 13mm they'll do till I properly sharpen my Dormer set.

I throw out new tool boxes regularly. Have no space for them! You are one of the very few people buying them.

my Local hire places buys lots, as customers can break them loose them or melt them.

Nice big axle stands

Little brazing set with loads of extra gas cylinders

Got a link?

 

[JOEPRO]

Got a link?

It was from Aliexpress directly - more info here: Thread 'Vdiagtool V200 Pro Automotive power probe' https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/vdiagtool-v200-pro-automotive-power-probe.141101/

It is on amazon UK for double the price! But the official Vdiagtool shop is trading on aliexpress and significantly cheaper so I'd suggest buying there

Strong shelving brackets, m6 studs and chemical anchor resin from Screwfix just now.

I'm going to wall mount some of the now disused metal shelves in my garage. This stuff makes a very strong job of it.

Today I acquired some led worklamps, pointed at by a member. Ordered some e27 flexi holders, thought I would try them over the bench.

A disappearing cable

The workshop / office power supply came in on an armoured cable along the wall and then in through the vent hole. The boiler will likely vent through there so as jackdaws have been pecking away at the celotex plug I put in there first order of business was to put the cable in through the 4" pipe underground

Vessel screwdrivers are the dogs you know what!

The ergonomics are exceptional. Japan build quality

I have a similar set but all red and not in a case. You reminded me to go get them gathered up again.
