Two interesting coated cast iron implements. First up a Wolfgang Puck dutch oven thingy. It has a couple of dings in the enamel and the screw holding on the knob was loose, but is fine otherwise.
Also a Cuisinart enamelled skillet trying hard to look like the Le Creuset version.
Both are available to any hungry readers.
A Maclaren Twin Triumph, double pushchair, pretty new. The fabric needed a clean but it is in excellent condition otherwise.
We approve of these newer Maclarens because the fabric seat liners come off with snaps and pegs and such. It is a pain to get them off but once you take it off you can do a bang up job of really cleaning it. Previous models had the fabric more permanently attached.
Another Lascall Buggy Board with attachment points. Somebody will want this to facilitate moving around their lazy offspring.
Yet another Graco Snap and Go stroller frame thingy. Ready for action.
A brand set of Planet Bike fenders for a bike. Not sure if we need these so they are probably available to any reader who fancies them.
A nice Baby Jogger Q series, a well engineered stroller that folds beautifully. We have had one like this before, who knows, maybe the same one. No apparent reason for discard, some fading on the fabric, needed a puff of air in the tyres.
This Craftsman table saw has an alu top deck, making it far lighter than many of the others we find (and usually do not pick up). Already rehomed with a friend who is building up his workshop of tools.
A Ryobi electric string trimmer. No idea if it works but it now has a home with a friend who happens to be an electrical tinkerer so the prospects are good.
Update: Yes, it works fine, cuts well, nice and strong.
A Bumbleride double stroller, almost jogger-ish. Broken brake plastic pieces and a small tear in one fabric liner. The gentleman discarding it claimed it did not fold any more and had brought it for disposal on top of his car. Whereupon we promptly folded it and put it in ours. Given the high resale value of this device we will probably stitch up the tear and replace the brake.
You understand of course that we do not fix it to maximize resale value. We fix to maximize probability of reuse. We would happily sell it cheaper as is but the stress of dealing with the class of idiots that respond in that case is best avoided.
Also a random Baby Jogger single jogging stroller. Nothing wrong with it, needed a clean and is now ready to go.
