Title: Hire or Beg Steal or Borrow..... Post by rabbit_rabbit on May 3rd, 2004, 6:56pm OK an idea - yes wabbits have brains too. As there are so mnay of us on this forum can we organize either a rental or borrow or beg system. We all have tools, well mine's the biggest of all of course! There are times, for example I need to drill a large hole for extractor fan but cannot justify a large diamond cutter but maybe just maybe one of our dear old plumber friends would be happy to rent his out for a few days. Maybe this Forum could have such a facility. Ray PS. On the other hand I only have things like loop impedance, insulation/continuity and RCD testers and ya need brains to use those so no use to plumbers !! Only kiidding plumbers ;D |

I know I'm gonna regret asking this question - but WTF does one need a pair of 4ft stillsons for? I can imagine working in an oil refinery and other large manufacturing places, but can't quite place a use in the about-town marketplace. Andrew |

Title: Re: Hire or Beg Steal or Borrow..... Post by Learner Turner on May 19th, 2004, 9:16am I used to work in a steel works, and all the pipefitters possessed a set of 4' Stilsons. If they couldn't get it undone with that, we used a flogging spanner and a "Monday" hammer. This was so called because it weighed 28lbs, and if you used it on a Monday, you were on the sick for the rest of the week! If that didn't work, you sent for the "fiery spanner", which was an oxy - propane cutting set and just burned the b*gg*r off, and got a new one from the stores! Ah - good times! I still miss it...... |

Title: Re: Hire or Beg Steal or Borrow..... Post by rabbit_rabbit on May 19th, 2004, 4:55pm Never heard of a 'Monday hammer'. A 'Birmingham screwdriver' yes its a hammer!! Good old British Leyland. RR |

Title: Re: Hire or Beg Steal or Borrow..... Post by Learner Turner on May 20th, 2004, 11:34am We had a range of different sized hammers 4lbs, 10lbs, 14lbs and 28lbs All used for different puposes - mainly for "adjusting" the guide tackle etc. Trying to swing a 28lb hammer is interesting to say the least! |
