Tools worthy of a mention.

Magnetic bases are brilliant. My last sealey one got left attached to the pickup chassis one morning before it went out.

 

It was still attached that afternoon , but flat:thumbdown:

Yes, and saves an old man a lot of heavy lifting:thumbup1:

 

You could give him a hand instead of watching as well

Bahco adj wrenches are the best I have come across, my "go-to" spanner was a 10" adj rubber handled Bahco, as favoured by plumbers due to the wide jaw opening, quite superb, currently mislaid, hence I have been using the 15" and 18" big brothers(eye wateringly expensive for all I use them for, but a pleasure in the hand) for surprisingly fiddly stuff, which they can do due to the tight tolerences.

I proper hate inferior tools and despair in this age of knowledge and CNC machining that such shite continues to be produced,(and that people buy it as well, sigh) when 100 years ago they could make good tools, with proper steel therein.

I may yet design & fabricate my own wheelbarrow and long tailed shovel, our of pure despair/inability to purchase.

Shite HSS Drill bits are another beef of mine.

Got to be a large magnet on a bit of string, drop a black self tapper out of a tractor light this afternoon on tarmac waved it about and found it like that.

Not to be pedantic, Mark, but it's the iron in the steel.

 

Edit. But 'Iron' your ideal don't make sense and ain't funny

One tool worthy of a mention is a sledge hammer handle I keep in a handy spot up at my main yard, I expect it will come into full use when I catch the weasels red handed that like to help themselves to a few ton of my best cord from time to time.
