And the worse about them is whenever you thought you have shaped them halfway reasonably there is just another one.

Relax, don't do it. when you wanna come.....Whos this franke bloke? Let's do him. :tounge_smile:
You've met The Gimp too?
I'll put forward this little beauty.
To my shame I bought one, and have never used it.
(Its for toilet seat fixings.....no really).

Another terrible idea is those plastic "L" shaped brackets used to fix loos to the floor.
I bin the wing nuts and use standard hexagonal stainless steel nuts instead and use a socket wrench to tighten them. Done in seconds mate.I got one. I actually use it quite a lot. Not for loo seats though but for the wingnuts on close coupled cisterns.

Easy to grip and exerts more leverage than fingers on the small nuts.
Old and new valves were identical.I bet you were glad that the old nut had the same thread as the new valve.
Worst invention is those poxy doc lockshields where the screw which releases the water is inside the hose spigot .....
DOH!

Had a customer that had asked me to fit one on a wooden self made frame.I would only fit one with a metal frame.
Used to be in the instruction you do not get with the frameThe frames aren't even that expensive.
As you say, you have to be sure that whatever they're fixed to will take the weight. As for double sheeting, that's news to me, but I take your point.

Come on now MM. Anyone half worth their salt knows the thread pitch looking at it or reading the nut. The only one you won't get now is a prestex or a Kuterlite fine if half inch :smile:
See if Tamz will send you down a few spares to keep in you bag MM from his secret stash.Too true, but so much easier if you don't have to saw the old olive off while holding back the water with whatever is to hand
One of the most useful gadgets I bought and I hate gadgets was a Monument Olive puller tool. It takes off 15mm and 22mm olives easily and quickly without cutting olives (and your fingers) with a saw.Too true, but so much easier if you don't have to saw the old olive off while holding back the water with whatever is to hand

do it live? lolWhere's the excitement and danger in that?
I love gadgets. That's why 90 percent of my possessions are the worst inventions ever made!
As long as you get the nut away from the ring far enough. Love this thing.I've got the Rothy olive cutter, does any size pipe from 15mm up. Beats the monument ones hollow.
For some reason my olive cutter did not know about that. And I am not gonna tell him that so that he will continue to do a cracking job. :joker:I don't understand olive cutters. If the pipe has been strangled even just a bit then the cutter won't fully bite the olive of the pipe.
Who is Olive?
... SunKing ... Kashmir Beige ... 3mm baths ... I'm going to show my age now...
Wasn't that when Augustus Caesar had just employed those Romans to design Rome's sanitary system? ...
I predict that in a few years, all those boring white bathroom suites will be whipped out and replaced with coloured ones.
