My latest ebay score
I recently saw these listed on eBay being sold as a lot on behalf of a retired body repair guy. Some didn't look brilliant but there was more than a few interesting pieces to make me take notice. The Buy It Now price was £195.00 but I put in a best offer of £160.00 and it was accepted! I thought it was a pretty reasonable deal, what do you guys think?

Nice score. What is the thing between the IR impact wrench and the red pop rivet gun?

Kerry, it's a recip saw that takes a standard hacksaw blade but it is pulled inside so you can't see it properly. I wondered what it was and thought it was a joggling tool but only found out after I collected them. I've not tried anything yet as the air inlet connectors are all different to what I use in the workshop but I'll get them set up over the next few days and try them out.

Gareth,
A very good buy I'd say. I'm 99% sure the reciprocating saw is a Cengar saw that we used to use in the fire service in the 70's & 80's before hydraulic cutting tools came in for rescue. Usual oiling via the air line and a very useful tool. I think the hacksaw blades are inserted with the teeth facing backwards for best results if I remember rightly and operating pressure of about 90 psi. I can't remember if the knob that can be unscrewed underneath is another air oil reservoir or pressure adjustment - old age!... but I think its an oil reservoir.... or is it? :-) Found this for the more modern version but gives you an idea http://www.easyfairs.com/uploads/tx_...5-Handbook.pdf

Those cengar saws are extremely expensive! the company also used to make air planishing hammers iirc.

You got a good deal. Those little over centre grips (a bit like mole grips but with jaws that stay parallel) are really nice, I was looking at some the other day in an antiques shop (£12 each asking price). I may go back for them.

To be honest David, I never even noticed them in the original listing but they do look nice little grips.
Phil/Paul, I'll have a look and see if I can see a make on it tomorrow.

Looks to be a Good buy Gareth. If you bought all these separately you could have paid 3x that - those air "finger " files are really useful.
Ps. The vibroshear has been painted/ refilled with fresh oil etc and is used fairly regularly for cutting - but have a project in mind that will need me to make some new tooling this year so looking forward to using it to a bit more of its potential.

Hey Jim, good to hear about the VibroShear! Not seen you post for a while and wondered if you still looked in on the forum.
