I decided that i should get around to sorting my tool bag out as all the brass in the bottom was making it a tad heavy. well that and one full tub of tiny screws. broken box of washers, and a dead tube of LS-X.

I did treat my self to a plumb tub. £8.50 from tool station, linky here
a new cylinder of gas for 'torch and a replacement wheel for pipeslice

Broken washer box, was it one of those clear brittle ones
( binding with tape rather spoils easy view )
 
no i dont buy in small quantities, i bought a box of 100.
 
Damn, I just designed something very similar to that Plumb Tub, was keeping it secret. How long have they been around?
 
Again..

I invented the workmate years ago and some guy called Decker nicked my idea.
Now this design has been nicked from me.

I'm definitely keeping quiet about my Cube with many sides and colours and my communication device you could use all over the World without having to have it permanently wired in..
 
I bought one of these in Toolstation today Phil, it looks really good & I'm sure will come in handy. Thanks mate for the heads up.
 
Its fantastic, great when working on rads, or under any pipework eg serivce valve to loo, clips onto the pipe, saves getting a mess on floor or worse still black sludge on that cream carpet - it shows you care i think!
 
Mine ready for action.

I use empty sentinel bottles as drip trays. Leave lid on tight. Cut a big square out of the side and you have a nice drip tray.

Also handy hen your draining something you can't get your bucket (or any other bigger container) under.
You put newly made sentinel tray under whatever your draining. Take the lid off and point nozzle into bucket. Acts like a funnel type thing. And because of the handle I have them hanging on a bungee from roof of van.

Hi All Here we go with another sponsored offer. Firstly, a bit of background. Traditionally, merchants put a high mark up on fittings. We make next to no money on boilers or tube, so the received wisdom is that we put a larger mark-up on fittings. It made perfect sense until the coming of the...
