Have carried one for 10 yrs in my rig, just replaced the batteries, money in the bank if needed. Its now registered with 'someone' that Jenny found so the elderly neighbours can make us of it in an emergency.

So a while back I bought an air rivet gun, after mudrunner posted a link to a nutsert gun which I also bought lol. Honestly the rivet gun is amazing. I saved a toolbox from my neighbour putting in the bin. Has a split along several edges. Anyway. Polyurethane sealant along each cracked edge, 50x50 angle with many many many heavy gauge rivets holding it in place. I've oversealed all open joins with glazing sealant. Back to rock solid. Couldn't have done it without the gun, made very easy work of using around 70 rivets. No sore haha at all and sooo much faster.

Awesome Salvage Nicco Mate
Too many people chucking things away these days agreed….disposable lifestyles
Pneumatic/Cordless/240v Pop Pliers must be a game changer for young tradies, us older coolroom builders used to have forearms like Ivan Lendl but these days struggle to wank without lingering pain of old

I bought a Kincrome vice brake to bend smaller, thicker metal for brackets and the like.
This is some 3mm x 25mm mild steel, which is about it's thickness limit.

I had some brackets on my roof rack that looked like they previously had some kind of attachment and I thought I could repurpose. This is a bad photo, but all I have.
The roof rack is a Tracklander model and @Stropp will know the challenges of mounting things to the side of it!

I gave them a clean up and a coat of paint, and countersunk the top bolt hole and replaced the button head with a countersunk bolt for less obstruction.

I bent some clamps using 3mm x 40mm steel and achieved a rounder radius using a piece of 40mm x 40mm x 3mm aluminium U channel as the bend die base.

These clamp tight onto a compact shovel or I can move them onto the side of the roof rack to hold a long handle shovel.

Today was a Traumatic day in the shed.

I'm 53.....

Today I lost my 10mm socket. It rolled off the battery and into the abis. I have crawled all over the engine bay. Had it up on the hoist and sticking my fingers into every crevice. Magic! It's gone!!!

Gunna do a GoFundMe page. The Fark!
