Car boot sale bargain finds
micktoon:
Been back to the car boots today with John DB, this is my finds for today.
Quite a varied selection, quite a few bits and bobs of tig welding collets ceramics etc , a flexi neck 26 tig torch head, a nice big old wood clamp, some leather working pliers come hammer plier tool , a pair of end snippers, an O ring plier ? , some french chalk sticks , a carbide burr , a small rose bearing , a large tap wrench , a die wrench , a nice tack hammer and last but not least a full size resin cast of a skull !.................. beleive it or not just what I was after as I want to carve a bigger skull so perfect to work from.
These are the Oring pliers closed
This is them half open the three prongs all move outwards and open to about an inch or a bit more. They will work for O rings but I think I have seen this type of thing getting used to put coloured plastic ID rings on birds legs ? so that might be what they actually are ?.
All in all a canny days booting !
Cheers Mick

Mick, They are actually Hellerman sleeving pliers for fitting rubber sleeves to cables e.g over a soldered joint in a connector.

Hi Phil , I would say you get top marks there as they are marked Hellerman down the side, so they would do what heat shrink sort of does eh :thumbup: , I think they will have a few useful uses, I have struggled with getting sleeves , O rings etc on things before and I think these would have done the job..................... no doubt I will never come across another job like it now I have these :lol:
Cheers Mick.
