U gauge storage

[plumben]

Just got a nice box with some new tools in the post got my first U gauge now faced with where/how to store it I'm not really doing loads of gas work at the moment, but enough to not take it out the van but don't want to keep it in my box with all my other gear
So how do you all keep/store your gas tools/equipment thanks

I bring them in every night and place them in a glass cabinet

When using my own van it hangs on a screw In the end of the racking when I subby for a shop fitting firm (about half the time) I go with there lads and I keep it in my hot bag surrounded by the blowlamps and spare gas that keeps it up right

Hang mine up on the van racking, FGA comes in every night without fail and goes in my glass cabinet too.

As above ^^^^^ us plumbers have a lot of glass cabinets

As if he could reach above the mantelpiece!

It true. We make more money selling glass cabinets, gilt frames and silk cushions than we do selling skirting ladders, sky hooks and tartan paint.

Long stands, on the other hand, are still a favourite.

Try not to do anything too difficult on the way. You know, like walking and chewing gum...

Nite nite Leo xx

Uh huh.....

 

[AWheating]

the first thing i do when i get a new u gauge is cover it in dirt for 2 weeks so you can hardly see the water level. That way i dont notice the difference to the last one

 

[Dai Williams]

Anybody use a digital Gauge for tightness tests? If so any good ones that you would recommend?

 

[The Goose]

I tend to use my Kane analyser for tightness tests now. Not sure why but it seems a nice way to do it and very accurate.
