Picked up a few toys just lately. Something for everyone ha


For the soldering iron fans out there



Fitness freaks

25kg, 32.kg and 40kg dumbell pairs (I wont bother repeating the same stock image)



Pull up bar



Fitness bench (may get a better one down the line)



Tons of floor tiles



Operating garage gym is well under way. Been very very busy!

 

That's a hefty dumbell.

 

Must..Not...mention...mother.... resist

 

Right I've been busy building... First cut of garage gym (walls to be repainted, garage floor to be overlaid with resin)



[Edit] since when did dropbox stop letting you hotlink?!

 

Wacom Cintiq 22HD Touch

 

CM Quick Fire Rapid-i (Browns).
Acer B326HK ymjdpphz (32" 4k 60Hz IPS monitor)

 

So, beans for breakfast, lunch and dinner for a while then?

 

i like the assumption of 3 meals a day.

 

Changing prescription means time for all new specs.





Six sets of frames, six sets of Zeiss lenses in varying grades and types, plus some contact lenses on order.

I could have had GTX 980s in triple sli but noooo, my eyeballs had to change shape again.

On the plus side, I no longer fear dropping my current pair!

 

Moto G 4G LTE, early xmas prezzy from the girlfriend!

 

Does anyone else find they spend more on themselves in December, when supposed to be Christmas shopping for others, than any other time? I'm massively guilty of that this year...



I'd told myself I wasn't going to get this, not yet at least, but Game and Amazon are doing a one-day offer on it and I couldn't see it being this price again for a long time (going by other premium Wii U title prices 6-12 months after release).



Actually bought the digital download, with two meters (one for me, one for 'er) bought separately.



Probably should have got one of these many years ago.

 

I just upgraded from a 2011 (I think) Samsung Galaxy to the new 2nd gen Moto G a few weeks ago and I absolutely love it! For the price, you really can't go wrong.

 

Dewalt XR USB power source - converts any of my 4AH XR tool batteries into a 4000mAh USB backup battery for charging phones, tablets etc:







K&N washable/lifetime filter for my van:







K&N filter regenerating oil:







Pair of Heko wind deflectors for the van:







K&N Power Kleen solution for cleaning oil based air filters and many other things:







An entire winter supply of the best screen wash on the market, 24 bottles of Holts One Shot:







Set of 5x3 Samsung LED modules for the cargo space in my van. I've already received these, and they are indeed a very high quality unit with brilliant neutral white colour temperature. Sold by a company called "LEDit" on eBay:

 

I know, very simple but ingenious little device. I'm not sure if Makita have one, but my guess would be yes, considering that Makita, DeWalt, Bosch, Milwaukee, Ryobi et al. are increasingly competing with each other by releasing similar products. DeWalt "got there first" for me with the Toughsystem toolboxes/combi kits and so all of my power tools are from the 18v Li-Ion XR range.

 

Annoyingly Makita don't do one, I tried to find one after I saw the Dewalt version, I would imagine Makita will release something similar but none of my local tool dealers know anything.

There are 3D printable versions for Makita on the net, but you need your own electronics and look a bit rubbish.

 

Yeah I had a Google last night and discovered the same thing. I have no doubt that Makita will come out with one in the next couple of months, if DeWalt and Milwaukee have one for their Li-Ion range, Makita must have one too.
