Tools worthy of a mention.

And the best thing about these is the caps keep all the workshop dust and shite out.

One of my points of contention with the two "mechanics" at my last job was that oil jugs were left open and caps left off cans, all within range of the dust from frequently used angle grinders.

Cant belive I haven't mentioned this before! My 80 quid aldi petrol pressure washer!  I've had it about 6 years now and apart from having to put some decent oil in it it's untouched and trouble free👍

I had a slightly longer, better quality hose put on it which has made it nicer to use.

I wish I'd bought 2 to be honest..

That's a bargain!

I bought a cold electric pressure washer from aldi and its been great. I'd love a hot pressure washer!

Not really a tool but an essential aid you sling over your shoulder and you don’t it’s there 

when your fencing on steep ground it’s a stirrup iron and leather @Stubby will get it

Great way of pulling barbwire down

Flip-up tool-less angle grinder nut. Simple but handy.

Going back to fencing wire strainers. Can anyone confirm that this is one? I bought it some years ago from a sale, for the chunky machine thread. I found it again recently. Nobody was quite sure what it was but the speculation was some kind of old fangled strainer.

Thinking if a 90 degree, 3/8 cordless impact. What you got? How much?
