Interesting jaw modification on that bicycle wrench. What's in the white box upper left corner?

Very cool little tin JR

That's second one that I have bought and the third one I have ever seen so I think it must be an option when they were new

It's not very interesting to most people but it's a new toroidal transformer 240v to 12v 150w

(at a very good price)

That vinyl roller looks really good quality Mike

I used to have one of those step up tool boxes I can't remember who I gave it to now

All useful stuff and a very tidy workshop

Sparky415 · **Reply #3406 on:** June 30, 2019, 08:10:27 AM

Oh and I picked this up on Friday for three pounds at a junk shop

Probably someone short.

Thank you, JR

Thank you, Sparky, I picked the roller for five dollars it is a Roberts it is a good brand. Crain is the Snap-On of flooring tools. The handles extend on these rollers if you remove the outer handle and you can use one off an 8 inch stand up scraper and you can use it as a stand-up roller as well. So now I will be looking for one of those on the cheap. Someone spray painted some of the step toolbox I am going to clean it up and give it a nice paint job.
I like the knife looks like an oldie.

Hey who you calling short

I am 5' 6" tall.

Nice finds, what we’re the two doing, sitting in a bucket of water? There going to need some love!
JR

Yadda · **Reply #3411 on:** July 07, 2019, 05:58:33 PM

Nice finds Tony! Those x-large bicycle wrenches and hand clamps are rare!

Nice storage boxes, can't have enough storage. Like the flag, Rule Brittania! . The leather punch is a winner as is the Bosch trimmer.

Those Eclipse padsaw handles are the best!

That weed eater really folds up really small! Electric weed eaters are kinda useless around here--we'd need hundreds of feet of extension cords; then we'd just end up cutting the cords by accident (we used to have a hedge trimmer like that, and Granddad cut it pretty much every time he used it). I've been meaning to possibly get myself a small cordless chainsaw. I think the batteries now in them are good enough to where they last most small, light duty jobs.

Yep I was very happy with the little wrench

Very happy with my haul today, If you can't see the flag is on an old ammo box and I already have the same strimmer running on a Dewalt battery

Ain’t nothing wrong with cheap purchase, just so long as it’s not a “cheap tool”
Besides tool clean up is one of the jobs/hobbies, just seeing how good you can make it!

It was second hand and the batteries were shot so I converted it to run on my Dewalt batteries
Now I have a spare strimmer
