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

Thanks, will have a look out for one.

They are called a g coupler.

Not cheap at £20 but very highly rated & you can get a repair kit if they ever start leaking!

Thanks, found quite a few different ones, some a lot cheaper, some dearer . Suppose quality will vary as well but kind of torn between the G-Coupler (found one at £18) or the Sealey AK45 which looks bulky but well engineered but is about £27 or just go for a knock off of the G Coupler at about £8.

To those who know. This is important.

Just bought this one, to me it looks good quality and the design looks good. Time will tell I suppose

@Hood Be interesting how you fare with this, it puts me in mind of the connector on an airline for tyre inflation.

An, fits rang wi a dicht wi a cloot?

 

[Dcal]

I've one of those.
It needs the quick release held open and a good push but then itbworks well.
I got fed up pulling the heads off grease nipples with the standard one so bought one from the local factors
Haven't had any bother since

The gears on my road bike have been playing up, they'll stay put when you try to change then jump when you don't. Most likely cause is worn cables so I bought a new kit but I don't have wire rope cutters, they'll probably get used once a year if that but I still couldn't being myself to buy Silverline.

I paid £26 on Amazon but the listing now says £46 just like everywhere else selling them, must have been listed wrong.

Ooo Knipex!

Ooo Knipex!

Did you just make a mess on your keyboard?

 

[Anguz]

Found in a ditch near where I was working.
Not sure on the brand?

Picked this Evolution chop saw up on Monday (been too busy to post til now) after I missed out on a few. Got it for £120 and only a few months old. Bought it from a lovely chap from Mold who’s son was passing right where I was working so dropped it off on his way to Rochdale. Winner winner I say.

Was also given this humongous clamp, don’t know what or if I’ll use it on but you can see the size of it next to one of my 6” Carver’s and my size 11’s!!!

 

[Parm]

Clamp looks like a carver clamp, if it is very good quality and worth a few quid

There are markings on it but nothing I can make out if it’s a carver or not. The main shaft is about 3/4” thick and the head a good 1-1/4”-1-1/2 So has some weight to it

 

[Parm]

Not sure if carver clamps have any identification markings but certainly looks like a good quality item. I’d say it’s a keeper

On the subject of greae guns..

A while ago i bought a John Deere-branded grease gun to use instead of the awful Sealey one we get issued at work. Finally put a cartridge in it today and tried it out. Works really well! Hand pump is much easier than i thought it would be, the end connector very good, tip it to the side and it pops off, flexible hose is so much better than the rigid pipe.

I think i paid about 35 quid from Farol the John Deere dealer in Thame.

Ive got the cheap version. Really good saws, then bought the 185mm circular saw easily cuts 6mm sheet.

I found a lovely knock off Suzuki online. Hopefully the engine’ll run as that’s the only bit I want.

I used to have the hand held circular saw too, never cut 6mm steel mind. I bet it screamed it’s head off getting through it?

Another toy for the collection.

Set up to play samples and midi patterns via the pads.
Like this only much worse.

Downloaded the project videoed for a test.
