It has been a bad week.

Fed up of not being able to do stuff, and having an ever growing list of projects that need doing....

In no particular order:

Milwaukee cordless circular saw
Rtech plasma and air cleaner
R tech stick welder (to replace ancient oil filled lump)
Rtech trolley
Evolution mitre saw and stand
Evolution mag drill and some cutters
Cheapo screwfix belt sander

I'm sure there is more but I can't remember it through the haze of sawdust, swarf and welding fumes.

Oh dear. :rolleyes:

All too often, box section does not have a thick enough wall to make a good thread in. For high tensile bolts through steel box, the wall thick of the box should be at least 0.8 times the bolt thread diameter. I am steadily drilling out stripped wholes and replacing them with rivnuts where a manufacturer thought it was a good idea to thread M6 screws straight into box with only a 3mm wall.

I'd like a proper tool for the job, but still using a bolt, nut and off cuts to set them as and when a thread strips.

A few years ago at an auction there was "3 pallets" of barriers & cones - the auctioneer couldn't get a bid on them, so I offered £2 to get it started.... bang goes the gavel! There must have been a hundred barriers - it cost more in fuel to get them home. I sold off a few for £5 a hit & discounted for multiples, but the pile doesn't seem to be shrinking much these days - I'm just waiting for an arsonist to strike so I can get the space back :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
