I admit, I have a workshop tool addiction :-)

Assuming this is the assets from a bunch of volunteers and enthusiasts and covid has put paid to it all.
What a real shame if that's the case. Putting do not use labels on the machines isn't going to help the sale though.

They were in trouble long before covid with annual losses of £300k+. The problem is that railways are expensive things to operate and unless you have something particularly special the heritage railway market is pretty saturated, although the Llangollen Railway Trust is looking to take over the operations. If I recall correctly, there's a bit of a roundabout setup with ownership etc & it's only the assets of the PLC that are for sale - they've been marked "do not use" because as assets of the PLC they're not to be used by other entities on site rather than there being anything wrong with them.

Got inspired by the photos a few pages ago of a makita collection and thought that's nothing, but I didn't know I had this much. There's a few bits missing a 240v 9 inch grinder, another old radio, another small vacuum and another 1002 impact gun and 2 6ah batteries with case and charger

It’s a good record for insurance purposes.....

I already had the knipex cobra xl (400 mm) in the middle. The one on the right is the biggest cobra (xxl, 560mm). Some gravity to her! Left is a 300 mm cobra.
I had some problems with automatic stripper pliers, some insulation won't shear well with them so bought an old style one. Handy if the wire is very short aswell.
And finally a superknips flat sided cutter for cutting tywraps without leaving a sharp edge.

And two more for the milky way collection. The sawzall and a hedgecutter. I am kind of disapointed that the hedgecutter is only one speed though.

Please review the hedgecutter once you've used it....

I bought a Milwaukee hedgecutter last year. bare machine as we already had 5ah batteries. We have approx 150 metres round the garden. I can do 3/4 of it on one battery. Bummer. No coffee breaks while a battery recharges.

We have one. It works well. Quite a shock when you see how much is on the pre filter. Shows it works !
Funniest thing was when it gets blocked as alarm goes off. My welder thought it was the fire alarm going off until it was pointed out that it was his backpack making the noise

I have a DeWalt that's similar to that, use it for blowing down the combine , baler etc, does fine for a quick daily clean down , very handy for cleaning down the drill between different seed types too, nice handy size just to have tucked away in the cab somewhere.
