I recently bought this cheap china made small leaf blower.
I have the Makita version of that blower it has 3 speeds and as you mentioned it really is fantastic at low speed to light the BBQ without blowing embers and ash everywhere and getting gasifiers up to temp .
Dave
Hi Dave, you confirmed it was a Makita copy, it was what i thought 
This one have 3 or 4 speeds also.
No without incident but I had this backhoe follow me home from south Carolina.
I made into the middle of Atlanta with it and the aluminum rim on the back of the truck couldn’t hold the weight best I can figure and the lug studs broke. I jacked it up go a ride to the parts store by a kind man. Put a set of studs in it and made it 40 miles before they broke again. Dad and my uncle came with 2 trucks and a trailer and pulled me home.
Liiiiiitle tongue heavy their Jakob, spin it around next time but the boom up on the drama deck
It didn’t follow me home but It followed dad, working on a LOOOOOOOOONG form (probably over 3 hours) video revive and driving it. Its a basket case 75 cj5 with a laundry list of problems lots and lots of fixing, got a new go pro that makes POV/ first person filming a lot easier
what model number go pro did you get?
It’s the 2024 model hero, the little tiny one with an internal battery, buddy gave it to me when I was complaining about my hero 4 silver giving me fits with junk batteries
Really nothing special…
When the plastic/rubber cast-in-place seal starts leaking on this pipe between turbo and egr/intercooler on Nissan diesels, the whole pipe is to be replaced… expensive for the customer.
Nearby I found a perfectly preserved Jenbach engine, of course I immediately decided to buy it, well, for the price of scrap iron there was also a strong stainless steel container, … hmm, for 20 Euros I also loaded up a JO-BU TIGER chainsaw, and the Stihl Contra was “free”… 
Yesterday I visited my brother Lojze, we tested chainsaws, this one is the most powerful in his collection, the Holzforma G888,… greetings from Slovenia!
Nice finds Tone 
It makes me wonder if we are related in some mysterious way? 
A free Stihl Contra? Those goes for around 100 to 600€ among collectors. Good strong saw, makes your hands a little white and numb after using, but well worth it.
Jo-Bu tiger is also a fun saw, made in Norway, those are among the most easy to start saws i know about, max two pulls.
gratulation, tone, no worry, you have some hectars of land for storage also some future finds…you can be very happy
For your Sunday morning viewing pleasure, bringing dads Jeep back from the dead
WARNING: my language is a fair bit more course when I’m in my element of spinning wrenches alone so don’t be surprised when I few pieces of French slip through as a struggle through bringing this old girl back to life. It’s a long one 2.5 hours of struggling
You are a better man than me Marcus. I would have given up about a half hour in. I’m thinking that if you can’t find a body for that thing you could build one. Have you ever seen a picture of a Morgan Roadster? They are hand built sports cars made in England. Wood body components with an aluminum skin stretched over them and then hand hammered over the structural parts. Of course you could also tack together some panels and make a VW thing. Very professional the way you incorporated all the movie blurbs.
The movie clips add the comedic relief that my dry delivery just cant, I get to focused on the task at hand and forget to have fun while I’m doing it, but I can edit it in 
This one came to me today, a Sun condenser tester.
Ofcourse i have instruments for this, but it’s nice to have a “dedicated” instrument, in the ignition corner of the shop.
It’s also nice this oldies are sturdy and have a nice “look”.
Goran,
Very Nice! I also like the “Micro-ohm” and “Megohm” scales. Could be useful for checking for bad / corroded connections, partially damaged wires, quality of grounding, etc. Most of my favorite test instruments are from the older and/or analog era! Nice find! 
Yes, a bit of nostalgia. Not that I had (okay, have 
) that particular instrument, but some very similar. Good mental exercise reading the analog resistance scales, compared to a digital display that’s linear.
