I do like that, don't know why, I have a couple of pairs of CK ratchet crimps which work perfectly.

My CK set are better in the hand than the Snap on ones.

I agree there is something nice about them.

Will be Brades not blades. Find a number on it and look it up, here is a link to the illustrated catalogue from 1963

Yesterday..I acquired, from the hard shoulder of the M5 at the M50 junction, just before Strensham services, a set of triple extension Zarges ladders.

A little scuffed from impact, but nothing that won’t straighten out, and a couple of end caps too..

Today i was given 3 Philips music streamers, The are base units for some wifi system around a house my mate had them and was ready to chuck them as they do nothing if you power them up but then i noticed they had an aerial socket so i put my finger in and on came the radio in a very nice deep tone a bit more looking and i found they also have a line in so i think they can be used as speakers from my phone in the shed.

I found an almost new lawn mower on the outside of a corner a few yrs ago. Still going strong

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I have one of those picked up from the boot fair, not in the tin though. It's extremely soft, easy to gouge when I tried to use it. I had no idea it was a barber's stone.

Here is the details on the brass plate on the lid.

The Council worker only nipped off for a pee.
It must be needing petrol by now, surely?

Four ex-battery hens, they get rid of them when they are past their best. I've put them on a conditioning charge overnight.

They'll be joining the rest of our chooks in about a week, early Christmas present for the cockerel.

Edit - no need for PM as you request them from the rehoming HQ not the local distributor.

The missus did all the organisation, I just picked them, ours came from near Accrington, you may find somewhere closer, the headquarters of the rehoming place is here.

I vaguely remember a local chicken keeper saying they have stopped taking battery hens as they were problematic with the home reared ones, something like one of the groups bullies the other and puts them off laying, not sure if thats a universal thing, might wanna keep an eye on it!

 

[Hood]

Step father has for a long time got ex-battery hens, at first are a bit wary but soon get used to wandering about, their feathers soon grow back and they lay in abundance.

That engine crane looks exactly the same as the monster I have - any idea it's capacity mine isn't marked.

After storing some electrical supplies for a "friend" i finally told him it has to go and that i want him to repay the money he owes me he just text me and said keep the stuff to cover the money, So now i have adopted boxes of electrical items to sort through,Luckily to me it is like treasure hunting, I have opened a few but i might open one a day like a mad advent calender.
