Well ooooop eeeeeeeeeer int north that would be Footprints or Dogs!

Stiil,have my Dogs from when i was an apprentice. Sprayed them in BMC Old English white to match my Mini

Mind you, though but, i REALLY like the Bahco with the extended jaw opening. Small wrench with a big mouth. F handy for SWAs

Just got an Irwin one, opens to about 60mm but on a 10" adjustable

Just saying

Yip know them as footprints as well.

 

[kerching]

Mine still have the , now barely visible , footprint logo stamped on them AND the original bolt and not a standard Roofing nut and bolt

My wife thinks I'm obsessed with The Monkees. I thought she was joking.....

But then I saw her face..... :slap

 

[Evans Electric]

No  never heard of "Shifters"  

Footprints.... yes ..what most of us use for conduit . 

Stillsons are what pipe fitters use ...No 12s  no,14s etc

And an ajustable spanner is ....an ajustable spanner .

Water pump grips used mainly on SWA glands .

Anyone use "Gilboes"  ?

:red card

REVO.... that howler has not gone unnoticed.   

 

[kerching]

Gilboes = Gilbows.....yes, frequently

Water pump pliers = gas pliers ooooop eeeeeeeer

As for the Revs joke..........I'm a believer

Just praying

 

[ProDave]

A Shifter here means a F big hammer.

Did you know the Yanks call an adjustable spanner an English Key?

And do you know what a King Dick spanner is? Do you have one?

 

[kerching]

Yes i have a King Dick, in fact i have a few.

I also have the smallest King Dick in the world

I will have a root around for it tomorrow and post a pic...looks like something from the Borrowers

 

[ProDave]

I also have the smallest King Dick in the world

Is that really something to boast about?

Trust me on this one. There are times when this can be an absolute advantage!!

 

[ProDave]

[kerching]

ph1,2&3. And Pz 1,2&3 ALL on one blade

Mine is the standard 6" King Dick

Gilbows also known as tin snips.

Water pump pliers also known as slip jaws or eagle beaks or plumbers pliers or Gordons.

I have a King Dick set of BA open spinners that go down to 8 or 10 BA and that does look tiny tended only to use the 0, 2 and 4 BA.

This thread is digressing nicely, next we will be talking about stripping pokers for pyro.
