So what did you buy today

25 meters ;-) Power connection for the camper 3x1.5mm2 for 10$

Ordered a USG grinder today. Figured I'd go big or not at all.

Please post your thoughts, experiences, comments, etc., on it in one of the grinder threads (or start a new one)?

A lot of guys are interested in these, and they are considered the high end chain grinder.

It would be nice to collect these, along with tips from others, in a place folks could refer to.

Thanks!

Philbert

Best two videos IMO on Youtube for those who are considering a USG. It may be a while on my comments, but I'll see what I can do.

Chinese saw for $5 and switches for 10$ / bent crankshaft so the rest will be for parts / I put on a regular switch for the 9" grinder, although it should be a soft start

I got some bickmores boot conditioner because it was in a spray bottle and I’m lazy. It’s useless crap.

A few hammers on the shaft plus sealant and porcelain growls, don't do it at home but these bearings moan with fear ;-) it is not suitable for use

My friend accidentally bought 12 14500 rechargeable battery's aka AA sized batteries
Thinking they were 18650
He gave them to me
So I ordered these flashlights to use them
These little lights with those batteries are far brighter than any 18650 light I have and I have like 8 different versions of them
And far brighter than any maglight or even a small streamlight I had
I ordered 5 more today for gifts.

Another 3 saw plan developed this week
Picked up a 250 today. Likely to need some attention to be proper.


Also Picked up a 667 running ready to use red beauty.

And as posted earlier, what got the new plan started.

These will all be on my bench by tomorrow evening.

Got some aerosol spray mink oil. Also crap.

This came today, I couldn’t resist it as it was £25 on eBay. Which is less than 1/2 price here. (It’s a duro chain, 16” .325 1.6mm)
I guess it will come in very handy at some point. Although I just may have to try it out soon.

I have already lost 2 carbs from the chain

Just got these today. I've wanted one of these for a long time. Nice and flexible yet feels very good quality.

What is this

tiny tach holders

 

[KS Plainsman]

What is this

It holds this Fast Tach and clips to the handle, so you can run a tach hands free. It's gona be really nice to see where the RPM's are in the cut. Here's a side view.

If you go to YouTube, Shaun Carr runs one quite a bit, so you can see it "in action".

Why 3/8" is 17mm? and 7/16 is 19mm

[Powerstroke Cowboy]

Why 3/8" is 17mm? and 7/16 is 19mm

That's the same wrench right? Just flipped over?

 

[Partner]

That's the same wrench right? Just flipped over?

Yes, it's the same wrench

 

[Powerstroke Cowboy]

Yes, it's the same wrench

Crazy! That's a keeper right there.

Question. Do any of the dimensions given work?
