have an other guessgot loads of them, sds drills arn't they?.
2 out of 3 mate. i'll keep you guessing which one you got wrong. Theres a few on here that might think no3 a wallet but in current climate its definetly no a plumbers wallet, its far too thick for that.1) aint that one of them thingies that you banged into a wall then turned manually for putting in plugs?
2) looks like some kind of swaging tool???
3) tamz wallet! (bought in 1943 and stood the test of time as it seldom gets used cos like most scotsmen he's tighter than 2 coats of paint!)...............................................................or a moleskin for wiped joints on lead
how did i do?
I, its been a while since i wiped a joint, might have smoked a few though but thats another story.I'll no waste it for the young ones.
You will need to attend to the last one if you ever want to use it and get a decent result.
why do I suddenly feel old at 48 when you start talking about your grandad. i'll post correct name for no2 later unless someone beats me to it.1, never used one myself but I have a few from my grandad. I ground them to a chisel and use them for raking out mortar. Must have been a hard job - guess thats why you see so many pipes bracketed to existing timber rather than walls where they can.
2, Is it some kind of tool for expanding the ends of pipes?
3, Moleskin (I have my grandads one here somewhere. Last used it when I was 13 and my grandad showed me!)
Here is another one. Different version.
