Rechargeable screwdriver (Fareham PO15)
Gifted
Challenge rechargeable screwdriver, with charger and various styles of screwdriver bit, in a plastic case. It still works, but has one fault. The handle is supposed to swivel but is jammed. When you press the orange button it should be possible to move it through 90 degrees, but it is stuck in the position shown in the picture.

Free:
FM radio. For tinkering or spares. (Fareham PO15)
Gifted
The radio does work but the volume control is very crackly so you wouldn't want to use it as it is. I hope somebody who likes tinkering will be able to save it from the dump.

Gifted
Folding drying rack. In good condition.

Free:
Mitre maker. Cutting guide for saws (Fareham PO15)
Gifted
Copydex Mitre Maker. This is a gadget from the 1970s before everyone had power tools. If you are cutting mitres by hand, it's still a useful tool. You can set the guide to any angle, not just 90 or 45 and lock it in position. Your saw then moves between rollers that keep it upright.

Free:

Gifted
Baking equipment. Round cake tins, sponge tins, flan tin, rectangular baking trays, bowls, rolling pin, digital scales etc.

Baby alarm or intercom (Fareham PO15)
Expired
Tomy rechargeable baby alarm or intercom. It hasn't been used for many years and I haven't tested it, but it was working when it was put away. Both handsets are rechargeable and cordless, so you can walk around with the receiver.

Rollers and belt from a dismantled machine (Fareham PO15)
Expired
These parts came from a machine which moved the belt round the rollers. The moving part of each roller is about 55mm tall, and spins very freely. Each one is attached to a mount about 40mm long. Surely there must be some inventor out there who can re-purpose them. They are beautifully made and it would be a shame to dump them.

Free:
Lever arch files. A4 size (Fareham PO15)
Gifted
9 lever arch files. Red. They are a bit dusty, but some of them have never been used.
42d
Free:
5 unused visors. (Fareham PO15)
Expired
5 visors left over from the pandemic, still sealed up. I don't think they were ever much use for preventing infection, but they might be handy if you're doing a messy job.

Elfa wire basket storage system. (Fareham PO15)
Gifted
Elfa storage system. Metal frame with wire baskets that slide out like drawers. Size is about 55cm square, 145cm tall. The photo makes it look as though it is bent, but that's just the angle it was taken from. It's quite square, and sound, but a bit rusty in places. Not smart enough to live indoors, but could still be useful in a shed. It all dismantles for transport and will fit in any car.

Romanian bowls and wooden mug (Fareham PO15)
Gifted
Souvenirs from artisans I met in Romania about 20 years ago. The bowls are very simple and certainly not dishwasher proof. The wooden mug was made by a barrel-maker, using the same principles, and is waterproof.

Free:
Inlet hose for washing machine or dishwasher. (Fareham PO15)
Gifted
Our new dishwasher needed an extra long hose, so this standard length one is surplus to requirements. It is 1.5 meters long, and has never been used.
