Excess of Dividers open too swaps
Excess of dividers?
I know it’s t disgusting to amid to an excess of tools, but it’s just the truth.
I’m having a little bit of a cull, not too much, just enough that I feel good about it [emoji849].
So, i have gone through my collection of Dividers and these lot a surpluses to my needs,(First picture)
But, instead of selling them off , I would prefer to swap them, yep let’s keep the folding stuff out of it,
Kind of like card swapping back in the day if your an old fart.
So, if anyone has something of equal value (as agreed by both swapping parties) let’s hear of it.
I’m chasing one or two smaller divider’s around the 2(inch Ye I know imperial) range , and possibly, some offset dividers, think that’s what there called.
Picture above is what i have available to swap with.
Happy to answer any questions an provide more pics.
Cheers Matt.

So, If I get this right you are clearing out stuff but swapping it for other stuff to take up more space? :P

WARNING WARNING
As a tip don't put any of these fellas in vinegar to get the rust off. I did it to half a dozen calipers I have and the vinegar buggered the springs. The spring steel lost what ever spring it had and the springs ended up breakingJust do it!
Kind regards Rod

You can actually dismantle them fairly easily, it’s a not too difficult getting the spring back on, but be careful with all the little bits[emoji849]. Originally Posted by chambezio

Yep, happened to me too! But funnily enough, 3 out of the 4 did survive. Originally Posted by chambezio
