Do you use that, or just keep it down by the seat in your van

Thanks
How does that work then.
With say a floorboard nail that is flush.
Do you slide the hammer down, and the jaw digs in under the nail head. and then you lever it out like a crowbar,

Thats exactly it.

I bought it after a recommendation on this site, and really am very impressed with it.

Since becoming QS, just the regs book and a pen.

But my setup is almost identical to RF's, same testers. But I use CK and Irazola.

Gotta use Bacho for cable shears though.

That nail puller looks interesting.

How often do you use the harpoon gun, RF?

 

[ban-all-sheds]

Sandvik are pretty good.

Bahco are in my humble opinion simply the best screwdrivers.



After I had this case nicked I replaced it with the self same..

Not as often as I'd like. Flights to Reykjavik are getting more expensive these days.

 

[Softus]

Surely there are places where you could keep your hand in?

From the gallery in The House of Commons, perhaps?

Richard they look like a smart set mate.. Because of you and other big ups for Bacho I have the 7 peice driver set on its way . 4 slotted and 3 pozi for a bargin price.
Was looking at your plier cutter set that you have. Can only see the handles though. had a look in the Bacho brochure and the ERGO design that you have doesnt mention that they are 1000V!! they look the part though. Will i be ok with these?
