The set on on left are screw/bolt extractors* & the others are for mullared/rounded nuts/bolt heads.Rockburner wrote: ↑Tue Mar 14, 2023 4:00 pm

* largest is 7/8in & will work on bolts with a 1.25in shank, I think the smallest is for 1/8in shank dia bolts
Your 2BA kit will also work on Spits, Lancs & Hawker Hurricanes etc

Re: Tool purchases
Recent purchases:
Refina 32” Plaziflex spatula
Marshalltown Permashape 13 x 5” trowel
Currently thinking about getting a Refina Superflex trowel
Apparently n+1 also applies to plastering trowels…

Re: Tool purchases
Some rather spiffy welding magnet doodads.
Some new socket organizers to replace the 30-40yo metal rails. Bought one to see if they were any good. That got here yesterday. The bugger is they're just a smidge too thick to use for my 1/4in drive deep sockets & be able to close the drawer. (unless I trim the foam drawer liner) Ran out of clips, ordered more & two more doodads for my 3/8in drive sockets. They also hold Apex bits etc.
Red, yellow & black 3in foam pads from Griots for my polisher thingie.

Re: Tool purchases
Ordered a Die Nut (in 5/16th Cycle) from TracyTools last night.... one of the engine mount studs on the JAPton is being finicky.

Re: Tool purchases
That the 8" chain one and is it fine on fatter wood/branches? (up to 8") It would come in handy for me for work as i need to take the head off my strimmer and swap with the pole saw head just for the odd one or two branches. Get to next customer and need to swap the strimmer head back on again.

Re: Tool purchases
Cheers for that. Just went for the Katsu one. Could not decide if the Makita batteries fit the other and you just know the supplied ones will last only a few weeks.

Re: Tool purchases
It's a brand name that I've noticed a few times. The chainsaw plastic feels ok and it seems to be made well enough.
