Pop a table cloth on it and you have a 'classy' pop-up side table.

I have two but they changed the design, the legs are no longer extendable which means the newer ones can't be balanced on a uneven surface
I use a Pressmaster MCT https://www.pressmaster.se/products/#crimping , there are dies for almost everything and it does crimp Molex as well as the native crimpers while costing half (still not cheap).
Thank you, that looks like what I need. Something modular and easy to buy.
Low tech: a pair of cotton gloves. Wear em to remove pinball glass. Stops fingerprints
These look more fun than losing and messing with a hundred attachments. Might have to.
My gas soldering iron been bugging me recently. Did a quick search for portable ones and found this.

I use this soldering iron as well when not working at the bench. Good bit of kit. Had it for nearly 2 years now without any issues.My gas soldering iron been bugging me recently. Did a quick search for portable ones and found this.

Bought this rotary multi tool over Christmas and cannot fault it.

Best tool I’ve bought in ages:
Portable soldering iron that fits into my existing dewalt batteries. Adjustable temp in F. Or C. Came with a variety of tips too.
Works very well and under £16 on eBay. Bargain!

Very nice Harry. What’s it for?
Seriously though, it looks like a brilliant idea but when do you need to solder where you can’t plug in a normal soldering iron?
Just looking for an excuse to buy one really, me

When working on a pin. I hate having to move my desktop soldering iron and grab an extension reel trailing across the room so I get tangled up in it.
Also this. £2.50. Such a simple thing, well worth it if you’re in the habbit of joining lots of wires together!
I use one those helping hands things, but i've removed the base so it's jus the arm. Yours looks like it might be an even easier solution though.
Awesome ideas. Ebay has a few of those soldering irons for different 18V battery connections.
As for the wire joiner, having a 3D printer leads me to print so much of this stuff as I think about them. There are some good ones with clamps and not springs.

Easy little 3D print.
I’ve got so many tools now I’m onto a 4th toolbox. Ha ha.
Another thing I’d recommend is CT1 adhesive. This stuff is tough. I’ve used it to glue some wheels onto the bottom of each of my toolboxes, amongst other uses!
OB1 is a cheaper similar product.

How can they honestly sell at that price and make any profit with the free postage, especially when this same pictured one is only £1.80?

I bought one of these things last night….90p from aliexpress and free delivery when you buy other random junk to take it up to over £8. Figured for 90p it was definitely worth a punt, and i was buying other random stuff anyway.How can they honestly sell at that price and make any profit with the free postage, especially when this same pictured one is only £1.80?

These new glues are game changers.This is even stronger
Not sure I would trust those builders, they don't seem to know the difference between 100ft and 2 metres.
They are all over social media and I think they are paid by CT1 as they seem to always be pushing it on there channels.
It was my builder who introduced me to it. I didn’t believe him until I tried using it on a couple of jobs. I glued some wood together and they are welded solid as a rock.They are all over social media and I think they are paid by CT1 as they seem to always be pushing it on there channels.
