Bender Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Going through all his old tools I've come to realise I didn't know him as well as I thought. He never, in all the years we talked told me he once owned a Harley 18inch!!IMG_20200624_143146.jpg That will probably get the sparkplug out. Surely that's the special tool for unsticking Mini starter motors? It's a slippery slope..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickly Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 May I suggest that you install kick boards in front of the bench & any low level shelving, coz any small nut, washer, spring, clip or widget you drop will roll off into the darkest recesses that will entail crawling on the floor & blindly groping around getting hand fulls Of spiders & mouse shit.

skyrider Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 i think they used to be called duct boards for keeping you off the cold concrete floors in engineering works plus they give you a bit more height and height is exactly what i need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Frog Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 i think they used to be called duct boards for keeping you off the cold concrete floors in engineering works plus they give you a bit more height and height is exactly what i need Used to make duct boards out of old pallets things were a pain in the rear for loosing stuff.Kick boards on the other hand would be a great idea if I didn't have so much heavy stuff under the bench which would need lifting over to get out.I am definitely thinking about trying the magnetic tape though as I think that might stop some things dashing out of site.CheersIan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
