Car boot sale bargain finds

Hi Mick, I used to use pliers like that almost every day in the late seventies working as an electronic engineer. They were used with some weird smelling oil that was applied to the sleeve before sliding it over the soldered joint. I think we called it Hellerman oil.

Been back to a boot sale today and got a few bits and bobs. Nothing much engineering wise about but some useful stuff here.
The round thing at the back is a new Wadkin grinder cup wheel from a knife grinder used for grinding HSS planer blades, 4 nice large spring clips ( handy for holding things when they are glued etc ), an unused Stanley number 80 scraper plane I have been after one for a while. A good quality fine small oilstone set into a wood box, two large combination spanners 32mm & 36mm , a flexible car body file, a small pair or M&W calipers and a number drill stand from 1-60. I think the whole lot came to £22 but the Stanley plane was £9 of that so a good days booting :thumbup:
Cheers Mick
