Who knows?
From Ebay
My Dyson batt was getting weak
Look on Dyson site for replacement and looked at price and ruled that out quick
Generic batts were kind of mixed and then found this adapter.
Works fine, so now my Dyson is a Dyobi
Only issue is one has to remove the batt to empty container, no biggie

Do you have a link handy? We have the same vacuum.

I love playing Amazon arbitrage when it comes to tools. Picked up some Estwing hammers and tools from Amazon.sa at a good discount over Amazon US.

Big Blue Engineer's hammer $19.25
15oz ultra series hammer (smooth face) $19.18
12oz ball peen hammer $9.74
5oz tack hammer $6.95
12" nail puller pry bar $6.66
10" moulding puller $6.91

All prices out the door and to my doorstep.
Thanks for sharing, how did you pay for it with dollars or Ryal when you charged it, which currency did you use to get the best price.

These compound bent knipex longnose pliers were calling my name. I have no idea what they're intended for (probably not dentistry, but that's the first thought i had), but I'm sure they'll save the day some day. Note for the people who say knipex needlenose pliers are too delicate: notice that knipex doesn't call them needlenose, but rather longnose. The tips are about the same thickness as a set of snap on 196 vacuum grip pliers, which are the same overall length (the knipex is maybe 1/4" longer). If you bend or break them, you're way outside of reasonable usage, and you'd be breaking anything similar.IMG_2467.jpeg

I pay in Riyals and let the CC handle any conversions. I do currently live local, so shipping is free. Not sure about it shipping to the US from Amazon.sa. Never tried it.

Pretty psyched to have found a brand new drywall gun from 1984. It originally sold for $99.99 at Hechingers. A store I've never heard of but apparently had nearly 100 locations in the Maryland area.

I've got the 80-degree (just one bend!) pliers and haven't needed them yet, but that's okay. I can resist the double-bends so far.

Their needle nose that I love are, IIRC, technically "radio" pliers, compared to the sturdier needle noses some are thinking of. Some here at GJ have snapped tips off of the Knipex by trying to twist large cotter pins, I think, and the Knipex defenders said, that's not what they're for. Just for comparisons' sake, I bought a pair of Snap On Talon Grip needle noses, and yes, thicker tips. I use those for rougher work, but my go-to pliers for many things are the Knipex:

Out with old...IMG_0071.JPG



In with the new!
IMG_0104.JPG

First, you need some pliers organizers and a deeper drawer!



Also, if you have larger hands, consider some comfort grips! Usually about $10 more, but for some reason, not in the case of these pliers for me on amazon tonight:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000X4MOVG/?tag=atomicindus08-20

Also, hosey-tuggy pliers, hose-squeezing-shut pliers, Vise Grips (esp. American ones) and those large Matco "Channellocks", I'd be keeping those around!

Here's a Knipex version of hosey-tuggy pliers, and I don't know that they make any other size. (I actually have a cheap **** HF set of 3 long ones, too, and they have actually been fine!)


Here's a HF version if you don't have OCD!

I went out of my way to avoid them. Team Red! Nephew accidentally bought me the ones on the left, he owns them now.

These just arrived in the mail. I’ve wanted one of these for a LONG time. The last time I replaced the ball joints and control arms in my truck, I used up ever swear word in my arsenal. And the bolt/thread tool cause I’m tired of the guessing game when I working on my girls racing go karts.

I like that wall mounted thread gauge. I have the individual ones, but I think I may have to get that also. I always have a small container of new hardware, stuff that gets accumulated one or two at a time, that needs to be put away in the proper place; this would definitely be the tool for that job.

RE: Altitude Craft thread measuring device

^ I am weighing the $75 cost against the amount of time and aggravation that I would be spared. I'm going to sleep on it, but the more I think about it, the more it sounds like "no brainer".

I got a nice care package in the mail today from Don, which will most certainly help to complete innumerable incomplete Indestro 1/4" drive sets, and three lovely old Sherman-Klove units that might well "fix" that Carb-O-Mang set. Now I just have to unearth the Carb-O-Mang set and check.

I also got this old beat up tool box. It's got to be good for something, right?

New addition to the M12 drawer in the shop.
I was contemplating going with a pneumatic but so glad I got this instead.

IMG_8498.jpeg

It has ony happened to me... many times... but when I bought a pneumatic riveter, I thought, "Really? Isn't this just over-the-top luxury? Sure you aren't you being silly?" Then I used it. OMG this is the life! And I could hold things in position/together with one hand while doing the THUNKO-hiss with the right hand.

Wiha 26193 8 pc. slotted and Phillips screwdriver set.
Made in Germany.

IMG_5684.jpg

Some of these are so small I really hope I never need to work on anything that needs them.

IMG_5685.jpg

I have a bunch of the Wiha Germany micro drivers- phillips, slotted, torx, hex..... When I zoom in on them with my camera, I'm amazed that they can keep the geometry correct on something so tiny.
