    Fire safety/Fire extinguishers - what to buy etc

    Simply put. If not red they are not approved for UK use. The Lithium fire test was a good giggle in the trade when it first come out. Not much will tackle a lithium fire. Small house old stuff a foam or a powder will slow it down. The times I see a class D type being advised I giggle.

    Very little works on EV Fires. The current method is, once the flames are out submerge in water for 29days.

    As a a BAFE Engineer, Foam extinguishers are not being phased out. As the have a good use. What is being clamped down on is the discharging of said units down the drains. A few money grabbing companies will tell you that and sell you a ECO foam unit. What does not have a good fire rating.

    £0:50p Egg Beater drill saved.

    It is has all but small castings of SIF 1940. WD It is a SIF, but the records show it may bea copy of a Millers, with no S/N it is hard to prove. Not the first millers of a SIF that goes out of its way to confuse humans. Itis yes.

    £0:50p Egg Beater drill saved.

    The price tag said £0:50p, so I had it away. Soon had it in bits and into the Citric acid. A nice finish to the castings. Rattle can paint.

    Any idea what this is/ was?

    The round rubber feet would not seem to support that theory. They are the wrong shape to clamp flanges. Rubber and welding do not play well together. They do, as they do not distort the metal flange. You spot weld and that holds it, you move the clamps as you advance. Not enough heat generated.

    Flanges Seam Clamp. Used to clamp the old seams, mainly see on classis Mini, so you can spot weld them.
