Handy tools

That's a bit harsh!

Good point, not all hammers are designed for that kind of treatment and it could invalidate the warranty if it a new one.

 

[telectrix]

from my experience with plumbers, he's probably got half the contents of your toolbox in his grubby pockets.

when working up a ladder, always have a hammer with you. never know when a plumber will walk past below.

NO!! My OH was a plumber!

 

[Silly Sausage]

NO!! My OH was a plumber!

Until you dropped a hammer on his head! :smilielol5:

 

[trev]

Was?? Seems to suggest he came to his senses.

a slight improvement, no doubt. perhaps you can train him up.

To the level of a performing seal?

 

[telectrix]

steady on, trev. that's a big jump from boarding over back boxes.

This is my OH your talking about! He's getting trained in all sorts of building aspects, but his title is dry liner. Just got to get him doing some bricklaying...can't be that hard. And then we could do everything between us!!
He had to stop plumbing because of his back

[telectrix]

never seen a wheelbarrow with a bad back.

I wasnt being serious! I've worked with him before. A couple of days would be fine...long term no way.

Is his name Jack? this is priceless

:bomb2: No it's not. Oh I'm sorry, of course he's beneath us Sparkes. He got made redundant and after a bit of searching he got offered a job with a building firm through a friend. He didn't want to be a dole scrounger so he took it. It's a job, he always works as part of a team on large industrial, hes not just trying to be a 'jack'.

Think how you would feel if someone chatted shyte about your OH. If I knew how to delete posts I would

Sorry if I offended you Kate it wasn't meant to. Just a little gentle mick taking (as I suspect you're doing to me right now)

 

[Kate]

i only just noticed your post

Magnet on end of telescopic pen! It's a must have.

I've recently used this booklet a fair bit, not a tool as such, but I keep it in the tool box. You can have a look/buy one here Product Availability - dott solutions Other than that, and very cheap, make sure you have a wire coat hanger in your tool kit. You can buy the best rods in the world but a wire hanger, bent to the right shape is invaluable!:shades_smile:
