A load of 3/4 drive sockets - Britool, Tipco, Koken and Protool. Biggest socket is 2”. Ratchet, sliding bar and breaker bar, $100 the lot. Should last a while!

Been waiting on a job I sent to be powder coated,so have just got around to using it it anger,setting 104 s/steel m5 rivnuts.First time I’ve used one & the customer was willing to pay! The m5 setting mandrel don’t last long,luckily I had a load of 12.9 Allen bolts I could use,must’ve got thru at least 8,as the threads would wear.
Nicely presented case.photos of finished work to follow.btw,don’t you just love that name?

Good tools those, although if you do enough rivnutting, spring for an air operated one. Makes life a dream!

That wasn’t Jesus he could walk on water but couldn’t carry ****e!

Other than that big heavy cross he carried across Jerusalem!

I have an air one, don't do a lot of rivnut ting but it's so much easier

 

[nickk]

I've used MEMfast for Rivnuts... but never had the luxury of the setting tool! Always done it with a bolt and two or three nuts. Couple of ratchet spanners to speed things up.

Were you able to crimp s/steel rivnuts with that dodge?

 

[Olderisbetter]

Where are these from please? Could do with some of this when I move into my worship and build my office / brew room

I pick a mate up from his works and these were in the workshop next door waiting to go in the skip, I'm not sure what they use them for but i think they make fibreglass storage tanks.

Couple of sets of calipers.

Feel very solid. Not gonna argue.

 

[F.J.]

Won't your brew room be the worship room?

Oops, definitely no worship room for me!!!

Picked this van racking up today for the princely sum of........£0!

I have some racking already although may be getting a second van so this will be going in mine and what I have now going in the other as they are smaller and more suited to what I might be getting (Merc Vito)

Isn’t it just, couldn’t believe it when I was told I could take it

Send a set here. Il do a side by side

Though only had to look at images of the workzone stuff to note differences.

Won't mention voltages or battery sizes

Haven't tried stainless, but I guess with quality bolts and nuts and strong wrists it'd work.

Hah we get Insize over here too. Some of the mics are a little questionable... verniers seem ok. It’s not Starrett but it’s acceptable midrange gear

Is that a Whitehouse hammer?

I guess you could use it in the toilet, yes

Got a nice set of mitutoyo coolant proof absolute in the garage.
Metric only though.

Wanted something with inch/metric and the second set can go in the van.
