Hi all
Some great 'Prizes' posted, John- We use those massive squares at work, Our Markout dept use them for levelling large castings on machine beds for marking out for machining etc :thumbup:
I've been 'Booting' for around 25/30 years and brought many a bargain home!!
This planer was a tenner! I bought it from a very old gent and really thought it wasn't going to work but it's fantastic!!
This mitre saw was a fiver, It also works great but has had a repair to the handle, I have a spare handle/motor etc that I bought a few years before for £3!!
I've actually got three powerfiles in total, All from the bootsales, Can't remember what I paid but they would have been cheap!!
This was £25 but it's 550w and 8" wheels, It also has a light in each guard!!
Tig inverter, Can't remember for sure what I paid but £25 is in my mind!
All this lot but at different times!!
These reactive screens are much much better than the old dark glass ones!!
The above is a fraction of what i've bought in total, I collect tools, Watches, Airguns, Guitars and all sorts of other stuff, I've found all sorts but a dodgy knee scuppered my visits last year a bit as I was off work for eleven months!!
Cheers, John :wave:

A few more tools from the bootsales..
Each pack has four Alkaline AA batteries per side and was 10p per pack! 96 batteries for £1.20!! :clap:
£10 for the strimmer and £15 for the hedge trimmer attachment! The strimmer wouldn't start until I replaced the plug!
Can't remember what I paid but it wouldn't have been much (Think it was a fiver) but the handle has to be shared as one is missing!!
I have another that looks like it's not been used, That was more expensive at a tenner!!
Err, Things with lenses are another of my passions!!
