Used to use one with the top plate replaced by a cold chisel for specimen prep work - busting down hard lumps of rock in a controlled way.

It’s the ‘controlled’ aspect that interests me.

We use an old school one of these at work,probably no good for what you are after

I’ll take a pic later, I use it for clamping wood joints together.

Here it is

Too heavy. Simply wear it on your head and claim it’s a religious thing, quoting some random Scottish pagan thing about worshipping Irn Bru

They are fucking brilliant. I only have one. A 10mm and 13mm open ender. Gets used every day without fail.

Keep promising to get a full set. One day .

What make are they?

My brothers bought me a Flint and Flame 8" chef’s knife for Christmas. I was initially a little skeptical about the handle, but having used it for a while it’s fucking lovely. The key is that you have your hand far enough forward that your thumb and forefinger pinch the blade.

Got a link to this in my inbox this morning - not sure if it’s a good price but here you go:

And only £80 :joy:

It’d be worth signing-up as a WBT dealer if you want those - Steve whosisname is usually desperate for dealers, notwithstanding the fact you used to be able to buy most WBT stuff cheaper from thiefbay than you could from the distro (nosediving £ fucked that situation mind).

Bob will like those

DeFault 996 with a pair of 5ah batteries and 96nm torque (Astra territory)

God knows how long it will last but initial use today proved it is very ‘lively’.
