Good Grief. The Allen key would seem to be NOT metric. When you slip the open ender on, there is already an obvious clearance angle and engagement on about only half the face. I didn't get beyond that point. Brutality and misfitting seems to be the norm, given the chewed up jaws at the start...

Bought these Makita Straight Shears (JS1300) and Nibblers (JN1601) today. Both Made in Japan. Have some further corrugated iron cutting to do, so thought I would make like easier for myself and retire the Gilbows to small jobs. The nibblers in particular are surprisingly smooth. They shed...

Starrett pics:

Delivered this morning - Blighty to Oz Some Vallorbe files (200mm; cut 1 , Cut2) and 200mm and 300mm rasps; cut 1 and 2 Starrett Tri-square 150mm is smooth! A vast improvement on my old Starrett, Stanley and Rabone. I particularly like the extended lines for the 3|4 and 7|8 markings.

I also finally got around to unpacking these Kant Twist clamps. 2" (405) and 2 1/2" (407) sizes. Made by Clamp Manufacturing Company, Inc., based in South El Monte, CA. Since 1973, as I understand it. Made in the USA. An impromptu temporary modification to the clamp rack required.

These arrived quite sometime ago. I only just unpacked them today. Knipex 42 34 280 Welding Grip Pliers. The other set on the rack are Knipex 42 44 280. The ones with the movable jaws. I bought them to use with 4 Fireball Tools Mega and Monster Squares I had got. Unfortunately the pad feet on...

Nice! I like the adjustment being between the two arms. I have the puller set, Kukko makes excellent tools

Knipex welding clamps 42 44 280 these Knipex 'Welding Grip Pliers' arrived today (from TBSAachen). Companions to the recent Fireball welding squares. Note they are stamped "Made in Germany" ( not just 'Germany') .

Fireball Tools do international shipping. Many, but not all places do. If there is something I gotta have from the US ( which is is very infrequent as I mostly buy from Europe), I use an Oz based service - Price USA; they have locals in the US who buy the item, and then ship to me. A far...

They are :-) I like them more than my Bessey WS-9's already They post anywhere as far as I know, the USD/EUR exchange rate is good. I USD = 0.85 EUR, unlike USD = 1.37 AUD. Effectively in the last 2 years, buying from O/S and shipping to OZ has gone up 50% in the last 2 years...

I got the bottom frame a couple of years ago, for $30 including the castors. Frame is 5mm wall sliding door track. I cut it down a bit and added an RHS top. Top and cross members are 75x50x4mm RHS. Top bolts down to plates welded to the top of the legs. The trolley was originally made as...

These arrived today. ( $340 AUD, plus $149 AUD shipping ; the exchange rate has seriously curtailed my purchasing).

Finally got myself a Waku ladder. 6 step extendable to 6.4m. Made in Germany. I have borrowed one of these a few times, and the first time I did, it was a 'I gotta get me one of these' moment. It is like walking up a staircase, they are so solid. Light enough to comfortably carry around too...

My workshop is 7.5x4.7m, with 3m walls and 30deg pitch roof, 75x75x3mm columns, 65x35x3mmm girts. I have 2 mezzanines ( one either end) with 125x75x4mm beams ( 2 per mezzanine) and 75x50x3mm joists at 450mm centres. All RHS, All welded. If you want to get an idea of clearance height, do a...

I'd suggest while grinder sparks may not leave visible scarring on the floor, run your hand over it and maybe feel the effect. Grinder spark spray will etch into glass, e.g nearby car windows; you can see it from the right angle, and certainly feel it

Very nice PL, I particularly like the very clear size markings. The finish has held up remarkably well.
