Nothing fancy, nothing pricey, certainly nothing of any great quality even ... but very handy indeed ... The 4" or 6" hand held electric mini chainsaws. Great for getting into those tight spaces a standard hand saw or bulkier electric saws just wouldn't work. Makes quick work of annoying branches, overgrown shrubs, pallets, sticks for kindling, etc. All for £35-£45 with multiple bars, chains and batteries.

Have you ever needed to tighten something to a specific torque, but just can't find the right socket? Well, no issue now with the precision bolt mangler!

(It's not modified, it came from the factory like that.)

Couple of cracking bits in this picture- my big red Mac box, bought second hand but immaculate 3 years ago. Cost £450, worth every penny. Was in my van for a year, then when I got rid of that I put it back on its casters and it lives in my mates workshop that I have access to, so handy having my own tools and bench that I can just wheel out when I'm working there. The top is biscuit jointed Ash planks that I milled a few years ago, had a few land-rover gearboxs and transfer boxes sat on it the last couple of years! 

 

Draper pillar drill, £40 homebase bargain a few years ago. Not the best but does what's needed for very little cost👍👍

 

Inverter arc welder, can never remember the make, think it's 'expert' something.  Bought on a whim at LAMMA a few years ago, I can stick things together with relative confidence with it. Someone who can really weld would be able to give a better review of it😅😅👍

These six in one screw drivers made by King Dick are worth chucking in the mobile tool box.

Yep King Dick tools proudly made in Birmingham since 1856 and still going, great tools and mostly what I used when I was young and learning my trade👍
