A set of 4 Matador spanners that were made in Germany, I'm not sure how many are meant to be in the set or the history of these spanners, they might have been part of a toolset supplied with a new car or motorbike, however I think they look pretty cool. . . @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

43° in Melbourne today, too hot to be building furniture, so it's off to the Goulburn River for a swim with my daughter.

When you buy a box of rusty tools you never know what treasures you are going to unearth ,until you give them a little clean up. This pair of pliers were made at the Sunshine Harvester Works in 1944. . @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Is this one year of tool collecting, one month maybe, NO, i got all these in just one day! . I think I may have a problem although I don't collect tools just for the sake of it, i collect tools that i can restore and use. .

From the man who bought you one ski bench - you guessed it, comes another one. Why you ask? Well, when you have 18 pairs of skis, only two legs and no skiing talent, you have to use them somehow. .
