    Folks,
    Having a bit of a clearout in my garage workshop and have found loads of surplus leftover bits from fitting kitchens and bedroom units etc over the years for self and family...

    I'm going to offer most of it as a bulk job lot on freegle, but so I can accurately describe it can anyone tell me what the following bits are... I've had them so long I don't remember...

    I have a dozen or so of these... I assume they are spacers when fitting cupboard to the wall... but I've never used them. Is that right... cupboard spacers?

    These are obviously covers for something... I have Ultima drawers in my kitchen units, but can't fathom where these would go... Again, I have loads of these, probably about 2 dozen

    I have two of these "brackets"... They are obviously a bit "special as they are such an unusual shape. Any pointers?

    And finally this gizmo... I found all 4 bits in the same plastic bag, so I presume that they are related to each other somehow... but that's a big assumption!
    The small black thing is actually black plastic, not a small tack/nail.
    Again the metal component is obviously a "special", but what?

    Thanks in advance for any expert knowledge!

    Are these not the clip on covers for kitchen cabinet hinges, they cover the adjustment screws and are often left off, or fall off. As for the rest I await with interest.

    DooH!
    Bloody obvious really. I've got soft closers on most of mine so that's why I didn't use them!

    Brackets look like they could be for a hob, might be wrong on that tho

    Picture 4 look like spare parts off floor mounted wine chiller. Or similar appliance.

    The rest are accounted for.

    The fourth could be a hinge part to chage side for a fridge door with some extra reversed plastic covers. The "R" suggests right hand side ...

    You could always just throw them in the bin. Sod's Law says that within a day or so, you will need them urgently and hey presto, you'll know what they are for.
    Might send this one into Viz Top Tips.
