What Did You Buy Today?

Someone on a thread here talked about how to remove / install roll pins (spring pins) and mentioned a punch designed for the task.

Those darn pins are a major aggravation so I acquired a set of punches - looks like they should work fine for the job.

Yes, those are great. Back about mid spring, I went to remove a roll pin in my trucks steering shaft. Had a heck of a time, even with the punch, someone long ago tried to remove it with a nail, which went inside the roll pin, broke off, and rusted quite nicely.
 
I stopped by a thrift/antique / whatever shop today, and these two tools just screamed at me to purchase and save them. The first is a Starrett cylinder gauge, Probably will not see use, but when cleaned up, it will look good on my misc interesting tool shelf. The second is a cherry rivet tool, with all the attachments. Cherry rivets are similar to pop rivets, but they have a head on the pull stud. The silver attachment in the corner is a right angle adapter. and the black pieces along the side are different size heads. When I feel like doing some wood work, I will fix up the box, and it will also sit on a display shelf. The last pic with the rivets, the one on the top is already expanded. Got both for $10.

Today i stop by the tool/flea market, i'm a bit short on head tools, i've been breaking them. First thing i bought was this T handle with 8 sockets 1/2 drive 5$. Then i've seen this bar metre, it has 2 units inside, new never used 0,8$. Then i found and bought me a spare inner tire for the trailer 2$. Then i found security nuts for the little niva, it's missing its key i'll have to make one also 2$. Then last not least bought me a socket set, it isn't anything special china or india made 30$. Not bad for pendemic time.

Ebay, I was just on Ebay UK, and they have listings for the Pratt Burnerd 4 jaws as well. A birdy told me to look for steel, made in UK as a good chuck

Think that Birdy might know where any more might be?
