Tool Clearance Sale

[JasonBModerator @jasonb]

I came across this link to a tool sale on another forum, I'm sure there is something for everyone there who did not make it to Sandown where similar items could be had from the "pound land" tool stalls. Enjoy.

And for those who are armchair engineers I have just stumbled across this book.

[SpringbokParticipant @springbok]

I take it J that this is a wind up used to tell lads to go get a left handed screwdriver.

I am left handed so they believed me.

I have just looked at JasonB this book and found it highly offensive. do not think that this should be on a ME forum.
what do you think !!!!
Maybe a crotchety old grandad but….

Jason, that item was posted on Mad Modder quite some time ago, and more recently on Model engine maker. I sujested the 18v cordless hammer twice in the Greatest invention thread recently,and it only seemed to confirm to everyone that i am quite mad. (very true), I understand it is a page from Mad magazine.

Cheers Derek.

P.S. I got the order wrong way round. First posted on MEM october 2012  "hazard frought tools"

Well Jason

I don't know if I qualify as am "Armchair Engineer" but I have restored quite a few dining chairs in my time – however I would class this as "Woodwork" rather than "Engineering"! ( Although, on reflection, a degree of metalwork has often figured in the more challenging repairs.)

Tool sale – raised a small chuckle.

50 Sheds of Grey – probably far more to my taste than the work parodied although I've not read, and am unlikely to read, the original work. With all the vast array of interesting and enjoyable literature out there I just don't have the time or inclination.

I found the "trailer" more silly than offensive. I can't really work up much anger about it and I guess it did produce a fleeting wry smile. It appears that the "Shades of Grey" is popular with the ladies whereas "Sheds of Grey" ( or any other colour for that matter) are justly popular with Model Engineers.

So should it be on a ME forum? – It seems some had a chuckle and really – "I ain't bovered!!"

I am certainly not offended by it but of course it is always important to think carefully before posting to ensure that our comments will not offend others.

Norman ( another old – and hopefully not too crotchety – Grandad)

Don't know if you guys have seen the HF (harbor Freight) ads over there but if you have, this is doubly funny.
