Tools worthy of a mention.

Same here, for £10, if I use it once, it will be worth it.

Not if you use it for cleaning trailer sockets, you can get a new one of them for just a few quid.

You lot are so harsh. The fella brought a tool to our attention that he had found useful, that I hadn't come across before (bar the sandblasting booth type) and best of all, it costs bugger all so a worthy tool to hang on the wall for that odd job that needs a good clean up. 

Mine arrived today and I have a job for it already. It will be interesting to see how it goes and can see it getting a bit of use over the next few years.

What! When did you order yours? Jammy bugger.

 

I just skim over the daft posts. You can't teach stupid 😉

Forgot to add a bit about the kiln dried sand, as soon as the bag is opened its best decanted into an old 20ltr drum or bin and keep the lid on. Any moisture will make the sand clog in the gun.

Good Brand that - Knipex. Quality German engineering, manufactured in Germany. Proper engineering, not made in China. I've not got those particular ones, but do have a few other pliers and cutters, they're excellent.

Yes expensive but I now carry these 10" one in my bag, replacing the Bahco adjustable as they fit then grip.

These two bob sand blast guns are worth a mention, use kiln dried paving sand. Before we start you dont want to be breathing this stuff so get a good mask.

A thousand and one uses, one that we can all relate to is crap and dirty connections in trailer sockets. Hard if not impossible things to get clean.

 

 

 

Trailer socket the lads ripped off one of the trucks by backing it into a heap of crap.

 

 

Pick out the worst

Less than a minute with the blaster.

 

 

 

 

Looks great!

Would it work with a diddy little 25l compressor do you reckon Bob?

 

Would be handy for cleaning the crud off chipper blades before sending off for sharpening, and loads of other stuff.
