Tools worthy of a mention.

[william127]

Makita 18v brushless grinder, 18 v makita radio, 18v makita USB adapter that lets you use your drill battery as a phone charger, 18v makita brushless Impact wrench, fiskars x21 axe- brilliant for everything except the heavie splitting-, led lender p3 tiny torch on a belt pouch and a mora clipper sheath knife(fits perfectly in the ruler pocket of my work trousers and ok in my wedge pocket of my chainsaw trousers). I use most of this lot every day, working or not!

Oh and bahco adjustables, obviously

I recently purchased some left hand drill bits.

Everytime a grease nipple has broke off , I never have been able to remove it, until now!

JUst find the bit thats slighty larger than the grease fitting, slow reverse on the drill, and out it comes!

Quicksteel fast setting epoxy.

 

I broke down in my 7,5t the other day, 1am, single track Road, broken fuel pipe...

Managed to start it in gear to let traffic past if needed and went to sleep.

Next morn, walked 3 miles to a big motor factors, then 3 miles back with no parts...

 

Option a: call a taxi, travel 20 miles to main town, maybe find a part etc... Wallet Not quite sure of that...

 

Option b: glue it together and see what happens, option a still available afterwards.

 

Cleaned it with brake cleaner, slapped it on, Sorted!

 

Drove home, bought the new part, it's in the cab, tools etc there too, travelled through three countries, now in the Netherlands, I'll put the proper Part on soon..

I've been saved by cheapo forceps many a time, great for starting off small nuts, pulling hoses and fishing out wire ends and dropped screws.

Like that shifter, I've usually got to take a few pipes off to get to the right 1 with my shifter!
