I purchased this by mistake (it's m10x1.25 arbor vs 5/8" like my angle grinders) and Amazon chose to refund my money and not take the item back. Guess it was cheaper than shipping.
Free to whomever can use it.

No...be in London for work. It's yours though and can get it to another way. Assuming you have something with this arbor size? British angle grinder
?

I would very much like to be in London for work......instead I'm going to Hanoi in a few weeks!

Hanoi seems like a cool place if you're in to traveling. Much longer flight though!

First time for me. Been to London 4 times since 1985 & spent a total of 4 months there. My favorite city hands down & im not a city guy! You go there often?

First time actually but will likely be visiting at least a few times each year now. Also Poland, South Africa, China, and potentially Malasia and Pakastan.

You'll have to report how you like them after a few uses. I did not like the Craftsman version of those I had a while back.

I have similar ones made by Williams. Look eerily similar!
Well, I thought I was going to get to use them tonight. I pulled the drive flanges off the 80 to snug up the wheel bearings but forgot the retaining ring for the axle shaft had speared ends and not lug holes. Another time.

Even with snap rings that have lug holes, I found that those pliers didn't have lugs strong enough and the lugs would snap off. In a pinch take a pair of the spare ends that come with those pliers and cut the little tips off of them. Should give you a large enough flat surface to get that snap ring off.
Snap-ring pliers with a flat bit like this are far and away the best I've found for the axle shaft retainer ring, among a ton of other spear type snap-rings found on Toyotas:

Agree. My flat tips get used a lot more than my other retainer pliers.
Thinking about going the Generator/Welder route. I don't have 220 set up in the garage - wouldn't be very expensive to get it done, but I do need a new generator, too, for half-house back-up. I purchased a 110 generator last year and needed a 110/220 to run my well pump.
So anyway . . trying to find a good Welder with Generator. Would love to get EFI and as SMALL of an engine as possible with 220v.
A lot of the Welder/Generators are stick it seems. I tried stick welding back in High School and was pretty bad at it. Never tried wire fed.
BTW - I do have a great little 110v generator for sale for CHEAP - I will post to the For Sale boards.

The issue with "most" engine driven welders is they don't do gas to prevent from having to haul a bottle in your work truck. In addition, if the intended job is outside then on all but clam days wind blows away the gas anyway ... so benefits are lost. Of the ones that I have seen that do wire feed, most are flux core. Miller does make a nice multiprocess machine (Miller Trailblazer 275 Kohler Welder/Generator with GFCI (907506)) but are you sure you want to have to fire up a motor every time you want to melt metal? I mean, I can't really think of a negative to using a gas driven unit except for the noise, the size, and ventilation (i.e. welder can't be in the garage when being used)
Is your breaker box in the garage? By adding my 220 welder outlet it now doubles as my feed from Gen to house (be very cautious with the dangers of feeding a house this way .... namely being sure isolate from the grid to keep line workers safe)
