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

[angellonewolf]

An ulcer
My colleague borrowed my engine driven welder three weeks ago.
He said it wasn't starting anymore after one week.
Then he found an excuse every single time I've asked him about going to take it back.
Today was the day...
He said he forgot about an important thing he has to do .
Then I've said him that I'll go there after he comes back home.
He changed colour
Now I'm concerned.
I'm going there in roughly an half hour to take it back .
Honestly
If it's broken things that happen, if it caught on fire idem, if the engine exploded same thing it could have been happened when I was using it myself but as an adult person tell me the truth.
It can have been stolen, unfortunately things that might happen but I want to know what.
Anyways I'm going to take it back home.
It's a material thing and he's a colleague I'm not going mad for that but it's enough annoying for me right now, because I don't know what happened to it or even if he still has it

now sat waiting for the outcome

One of these...

On cursory inspection, seems ok. I bought it mainly for the use of flat-ended blades for gasket scraping.

Grind an edge on the end of a bit of old hacksaw blade, and it'll do handsomely....

now sat waiting for the outcome

Outcome
He didn't call.
He didn't answer the phone
But I've patiently waited him in front of his door...
He eventually had to come back home.
I was there, and I've took my engine driven back home.
First thing first
Opened the fuel valve
Chocke
Pulled once
Pulled twice and started up as always does.
Little warm up
Voltmeter said auxiliary power was there
Connected the welding leads and it welds.
I've shut it off.
Now he said he didn't used it...
Welding leads were not tidied up but all tangled together.
Paint off the tail pipe so it has been used for a lot longer than I ever did.
I think
He said it didn't work so I would have said him to get it fixed...
Or whatever do he could have kept it for longer or say he took to somewhere and got stolen.
Anyways it's back home finally

Glad to hear you got it back.

In the early 1970's I worked for a crate making company, and on the owner's tool room door was a sign that read,
" No tools loaned. I'd rather lend you my dog than one of my tools. At least he knows how to find his way back. ".

Anyways not Chinese rubbish.
With it I've ordered a little toy because I'm tired of the cheaper ones as they offer no ergonomics

The Boots film van says develop before 1991
I think that may be a little past its use by date!

It'll still work, just might not be 100 iso any more.

An M12 DAB Bluetooth fully portable radio, power pack and charger. With genuine 6.0ah battery good used from FB locally.

I've wanted a quality garage radio for a long time having gone through several mid priced ones which didn't have Bluetooth and poor or no DAB radio reception. This one seems to have perfect reception so far. Really pleased with this



6.0 battery is overkill for this so I'll use that in my other m12 tools and install a smaller battery in this.

We sell these in the family toy shop and mainly adults buy them, we have one guy who add sellotape to the wings and body to make the stronger and fires them using a rubber band.
