This morning I wandered up and down the aisles at the wantirna trash and treasure. Among other things I saw:
- 0.1g accuracy scales, 0-500g $60
- Some 12V and 240 mag drive pumps, various prices (one was March brand and it had a brass head).
- I picked up a 1/4" BSP die which can make tapered threads parallel
Driving on to FJ's in Bayswater, I saw that they have the 21mm, reduced shank drill bit for $17. From memory, these are the right size for drilling holes in kegs to take 1/2" BSP all thread (either get the smaller size and file out the hole) or get the next size up (check the size before you buy, my memory is a bit crusty).
These drill bits actually work, I have drilled several kegs with one with absolutely no drama (tool challenged people disregard).
Anyway, sometimes it pays to get out of bed Sunday morning and check out the local trash and treasure sales.
