Job lot of cardboard packing boxes (Whitemans Green RH17)
Promised
3d
- We’ve just moved house, and we have a load of packing boxes. There are at least 20 of the smaller ones (they are 470 x 360 x 360mm) and a small number of larger ones (460 x 460 x 500). They’ll just get recycled if no-one wants them. They have only be used once, as they were new for our move. The removal firm can’t take them back, as we moved from a few hundred miles away.

Bosch angle grinder (Oakham LE15)
Gifted
55d
- Little used angle grinder - great for cutting bolts, concrete - anything hard really! I'll leave the discs in the box, as some are new and some used, but they are for different materials. It's a bit dusty (use it once and there is dust everywhere!), but in good condition operationally.

Rechargeable Jigsaw (Oakham LE15)
Gifted
55d
- Lightweight rechargeable jigsaw, ideal for little jobs involving cutting wood or metal. This is quite a small jigsaw that would probably be good for a hobbyist or similar, as this isn't a heavy duty piece of equipment, but is a handy little jigsaw for when you need to be able to make those intricate cuts on a couple of items. I haven't tested this recently, and it hasn't been used for a while, but it should be okay!

Electric Circular Saw (Oakham LE15)
Withdrawn
55d
- This is little used, and functional, but it has a bit of a flaw - the rubberised plastic on the handle has deteriorated and so it feels a bit "sticky"! I was going to take this straight to the dump, but as it still works fine, thought someone might want to make use of it. It would be fine if you wore gloves when using it - which is probably a good idea anyway!!

Set of four folding camping / leisure chairs (Oakham LE15)
Gifted
55d
- Two blue, two red, with storage bags. (The bags are a bit dusty - they’ve been stored in the garage for a few years!). One of the red chairs has some stain spots on it - maybe from a spillage at a festival years ago! But it’s still perfectly useable. The other three chairs are in really good condition.

Folding step (Oakham LE15)
Gifted
55d
- This is in used condition, as it is really perfect for decorating purposes - painting or hanging wallpaper, as it allows you to stand on it and get to the top of the wall. It is aluminium and the legs fold away for (relatively) compact storage. Both legs have sturdy safety catches so it won't give way when you stand on it. It is spattered with paint and decorating materials, because that what we used it for! But it is still perfectly serviceable!

Circular Saw for wood (Oakham LE15)
Gifted
55d
- This is little used, as I really only used it to do some flooring some years ago. I should say, the rubberised plastic on the handle has gone sort of "sticky" where you hold it - like the plastic has degraded, so I think you would need to wear gloves when using this. Because of this I was going to just take it to the household waste site, but in the interests of sustainability, thought I would put it on here first, as the machine does function perfectly, you just get slightly sticky feeling hands!

Electric Wood Plane (Oakham LE15)
Gifted
55d
- Very little used, and in good condition. Makes light work of planing lengths of timber, bottoms of doors etc. The blade is adjustable to allow fine or coarser planing.

20m Auto-retractable Extension Lead (Oakham LE15)
Gifted
81d
- It's yellow, it's quite chunky, and it automatically retracts itself back into the casing when not in use. It has a good carrying handle, and it's stable when sat on the ground. Not a lot else to say really!

Big yellow hand extenders to help pick up leaves, litter etc (Oakham LE15)
Gifted
81d
- Not sure what to add here that isn't in the Title or obvious from the pictures! You slip one hand into the back of each one, and they give you big scoops to big up leaves, rubbish or other garden type materials. These have been used in the garden - so they would need a good clean if you fancied use them at a Pick and Mix counter!!

6 ft White Slim Christmas Tree (Oakham LE15)
Expired
103d
- Not very seasonal, I know, but we are planning to move soon, so this is part of a clear out!! It is in good condition, in its original box, and will be supplied with some decorations, tinsel and white tree lights that we had in the box with it!

Brabantia Rotary Dryer (Oakham LE15)
Gifted
103d
- In excellent condition, this dryer is fully adjustable - the bottom and top parts can be moved around to accommodate individual items, or big sheets etc if required. It measures just under 2.0m from tip top tip when fully extended. We don't have a cover for it, and it will need an appropriate Brabantia or similar socket to put it in in the garden.

Big aluminium snow shovel (Oakham LE15)
Gifted

- Almost unused shovel - it's a snow shovel, but could be used for other relatively lightweight materials, I guess. It certainly isn't a spade for digging with - but for snow its perfect!

Set of two folding metal shelving units (Oakham LE15)
Gifted
103d
- These are steel, painted shelves which fold flat, but when assembled provide slatted shelves. We had them in a conservatory years ago, and they've been stored in the garage ever since in case we ever needed them. Now we are likely moving so it would be good if someone made use of them! I would say they would be best in a conservatory or garden room, but could go anywhere! The larger one measures 73 cm wide by 33cm deep and 1.45m tall, to the highest point, and the smaller set is 42 cm wide by 30 cm deep and 1.22m tall to the tallest point. They weren't easy to photograph, as they are effectively see-through - but hopefully you get the idea!
