What - non Festool - tool / workshop related gizmo/stuff did you buy today?

[six-point socket II]

Looks like Knipex, if so, you will never regret that purchase. Best pliers I have ever seen, worth every penny!

Yes, Sir. It's two Knipex - I life 16 miles from the Knipex factory - so they are not completely unknown to me, as I do own a couple of them already

---

As expected the package containing my new Fluke T 150 VDE was delivered today, great piece of equipment - loving it!

Kind regards,
Oliver

Today I got a a cheap Wagner spray gun and a couple of cheap chisels , rasps, etc ... Why?  Because my good stuff is as the wrong end of a very full storage unit [embarassed] [sad]

The cheap gun ($199AUD) is very disappointing, I think you'd get a better result throwing paint bomb balloons at the wall [mad]

You can alway use a rough chisel or two, so I'm not so upset about those.

Certainly qualifies as non-festool "stuff", workshop-related not so much, but it ate up next years tool budget...  [big grin]

Got my new Lamello few days ago
[attachimg=1]

Had a play with it yesterday for first time. Trying it!  Straight away noticed something... and I think Lamello are missing a trick here.

I thought if I wanted to fix two clamex fixings ontop of each other I would have to drill two access holes on both timber faces inside and out.  I thought that would be daft why doesnt the clamex have a hole on both sides so I only need one access hole.

So I removed the rotating metal cam from the clamex and drilled another hole though. I reinserted the metal cam.  I drilled a access hole from one side through both lamello P slots.
BOOM works brilliantly!
At first I thought I might have trouble with alignemnt of the two allan key holes but Alan Key went through easily.

Hi guys

Picked this up in the classifieds. I am really pleased with it. As I didn't think I would ever get a chance to own one. It really is such a well made nice piece of kit

And kudos to a really nice member of the Fog for letting me take over ownership

Ha - you beat me to it!!  Well done  [sad]  [big grin]

In answer to the question in hand:

One of these, but in the 3m version.  Also made in Germany and also absolutely superb!!!  This stainless steel tape measure baffles everyone I show it to.  Yes, it opens itself, as if by magic.  Very useful when working single handed on large panels.  Super light too, with nothing to go wrong.  Whoever designed these is a genius!!  8)  [not worthy]

Hi Seth,
I think I did shop from the same place for CMT. It was like 3 years ago and it was 50% off but I do not remember the name.
I buy them from www.routerbitworld.com now. Rich is a great guy to deal with and shipping is always $1 and the the prices are lower compare to any where on line.
I am not new to Martor and have been using them for 7 years. If you do not loose it or loan it to a friend that has a bad habit to breaking stuff, then most likely they indestructible.
Here is the link for them in USA and you can order it right there.

Haxit, where did you buy the machinist squares?
I'd like to have that type with the extra plate on the back but have not found any in the states.

Thanks for the link! I buy Forstner type bits from them but never thought to look for squares there.

Hi!

After some health wise - troublesome months - yesterday was again one of better/good days that have gotten rare as of lately and I spent some quality time with my Dad at the Gedore factory shop.

Bought just a couple of small pieces, can't do anything tool related anyway right now.

Kind regards,
Oliver

I'm sad to hear you have health issues. My thoughts are with you.
