3 makita angle grinder drill cases on a skip.  Each box contained a disc and a threaded handle.


Oh and a tool of some sort, will post a pic once I sort out my phone.

Cream chargers dumped on the roadside.  ;D

Pretty sure I saw this pile. Where did you spot it?

I've kind of done a reverse "what did you find", and given something to be found.

I was fettling a bike on the stand, in the sun, out in the driveway.
I was using the rear bumper of the Land Rover as a shelf for tools.
Packed it all away.
Drove the car into town and back on an errand, and then noticed my 1/4 square drive ratchet sitting on the bumper, with one allen key mounted on it.
This had survived the journey into town and back.
The rack of other allen key bits was long gone.

Arse.
It's the single most important part of my toolkit.

A C-Spanner Blodwyn Pig has no use for?

Can understand why you thought that, I should have put something in for scale, the spanner is over 40cm long.  It is the style of an adjuster.

Seen  something  similar being  wielded by the heating  oil  delivery truck  guys.

Ah I think you could be on to something, it has a din number stamped on to it that identifies what the spanner is, but cannot think where it would be used.

It looks like a Drum Wrench to me, for the opening of 55 gallon drums and the like.

So maybe something to do with petrol tanker/petrol station delivery?

A little Googling (ok rather a lot) reveals it to be a spanner for Storz couplings.

As used for grain silos, slurry spreading and fire hoses etc.

not been out for a wee while due to getting nasty throat chest infection, so seemed like a nice day, swmbo was up there in That London, on THE procession, so I packed up few nibbles,  and set forth with trepidation,  (trying NOT to overdo it!)
Anyways, about 4 miles in I came across the remnants of 'Party Central!!!!!!'

Did indeed make a  fine addition to my lunch time snack, of nuts, cheese and salami.  Note the 'impromptu'  bottle opener.

Found in a curiously urban environment - maybe used for purposes other than equine?

I’m waiting for the day you find a briefcase with a million dollars in low-denomination banknotes. I think it’s just a matter of time.
