Hi I'm a newbie on here. Has anybody used 'Hawk beaks'? I bought a set from a one armed man. He created these marvellous tools due to his disability. They are no bigger than a spanner and act like grips. And my god they grip!!!

Please definitely give them a try if you come across a set!
 
You wouldn't happen to be selling these by any chance? Your post sounds very much like an advert....
 
Hawk beaks: Grips like a footie, is less adjustable and handle won't easily file down to act as screwdriver. Don't think they'll be in my toolbox anytime soon.
 
Absolutely not! Just wanted to share a bit of knowledge with the forum.
 
I've got a small pair in my tool box. God knows how old they are, I pinched them off my old man :) never really use them though.

Hi All Looking to replace taps on a cast iron bath, accessing them is near impossible (i even had to remove toilet). The taps are old lifter type with brass 3/4" nuts that seem welded on! The basin is much the same tbh. I have a tap remover set like this and after 10 mins of finally getting it...

I don't work now due to being ancient. I looked at a 'Range cooker' fired on kero. It had a slow leak that turned into a bad leak in a month! It had a welded fabricated boiler. I've seen such heat exchangers leak within 7 years from new. No wonder the Potterton heating production manager said...
