I had this Atlas Copco die grinder given a while ago but only just got around to see if its a worker. It stuttered a little to begin, a few drops of marvel oil and a new fly lead and its away

However this windy gun needs a bit of attention, it goes, but doesn't stop, the trigger doesn't do anything, its flopping about, too much on to fiddle with it at the moment so back onto the heap for now

I have one similar take the 2 allen screws out of the bottom of handle and it will expose the trigger valve give it a clean and spray with wd40 and it should free off

More chemical goodies thanks to the semi trained monkeys at work, including Belt dressing spray, more loctite, different flavour (243) and a smaller bottle (50ml) this time, Rocol Chain & Drive spray, Ambersil Rust Flash and Leak detector and some viscous lube,also had a tub of araldite 2011 but I'm missing the other tub that goes with it so that's not a lot of use. Almost had a Seimens electric motor that some doofus had dropped and had broken the mounting flange, which also took a chunk out of the main body casting, manager asked if it was any use to me, I did think of having it and flogging it but I reckon it would have been too big for home use, it weighed about 50 kg. If it had been smaller I would have had it.

If it was me, I'd have had that motor and it would have gone straight down to be weighed in!

A week ago, I acquired a Sealy Trolley Jack. See post 1091 to 1904.
Well.
After the strip down, pressure wash. Four days in the de rusting tank and a quick pain job.

Here she is.

The keen eyed members will note a missing nut. It has been re fitted. I needed to find my UNC taps.
Oh yes, I liberated a handle as well. That's being de-rusted as I type.

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

I got a ticket the other day.
It said:
Parking Fine.

That's nice of them I thought.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Got that today, nowt wrong with it. May be new wheels. But will go back in a few days to the sme shop and have a better rummage.


The drills you see on the lower edge are posted on TA - Toolaholics Anonymous.

Same shop had that. It is empty, but has the balloon filling attachment fitted. They shop owner was told she could not sell it on. It was from a house clearance. I am giving it a good home.

Wonder if you could fit the attachment to a CO2 bottle? That would confuse the kids.....
