A new tool for the kits at work?

[MrMasher]

Damn right! This just panders to the Playstation Generation in the worst possible way. How on God's green earth can you call yourself an engineer if you have to resort to adjustable instead of getting the correct tool for the job. oh and then you can't be asred getting a manual adjusty it has to be power operated!

Man up for fecks sake!!!!

Jimps

No. Pi55 off!
Its a toy you miserable git and judging by the amount of positive replies, its a welcome toy at that.
Playstation Generation??? Since when was Fomz in that age range???DT_Xtremez_28:

'Whatever'. Teen speak for I have lost but cannot afford to be seen to lose face with the grown up.

I do walk whenever possible to stop me being even porkier than I already am, but a car for the thirty five mile run into work every day helps me to get to work on time and home at night.

Gawd wheres GEMarriott when you need him!

I'm not a teenager and I just dont see why you are moaning your ar5e off on someone elses thread?
I suppose you hate digital verniers as well?
For your information, I can use either vernier and frequently do as I am an engineer and not a mechanic.
I prefer to use digital because its quicker, but thats my choice.

So grown ups dont like to lose face?

I am not the only one moaning, after all my first post was a quote from another post. This is going to descend into a c0ck waving contest so we will just have to agree to differ.

Now Digital Verniers, they are the absolute dogs bolleaux, no more squinting and tilting the thing in the light to get a reading.

Thats kind of my point Jimps. The digi caliper is quite adept isnt it?
So how about these new fangled adjustables? You know how it is when you have the ones with the thumb wheel on the edge of the jaws. In tight spaces they keep unwinding themselves when they contact other bits. How good would a lockable set of adjustable spanners be?
Sometimes you have no choice other than using an adjustable, be it odd nuts and bolts on random bits of kit or purely on space/access requirements. If an engineer is that set in his ways that there is no place for an adjustable on the tool kit, then perhaps he isnt quite as adept and resourceful as a true engineer should be.

Sorry if I appeared to be waving my c0ck!DT_Xtremez_28:

You see, if you boys would learn to put the toilet lid down, you wouldn't lose your tool down the bog!DT_Xtremez_30:

We only leave the lid up so you women know it needs cleaning.......

You feel free to wave it as much as you want to my friend, mine is staying away to prevent the licqourice torpedo and two nutmeg jibes I will get. Like I said agreeing to differ is probably best.


And lady people while we are on the subject, a bogseat/lid has a hinge which operates in both directions of travel. So when you start lifting it up for me is the day I will start putting it down for you.

Nice to see some others who have a more rounded knowledge!
We have to use adjustables sometimes as our main tool store isnt a room or a great big board, its a trolley kit and has a limited number of items in it!

So spill the beans then Jimps, is it any good?

 

[needsabiggerfuse]

I was waiting in tool stores once when a young lad in front asked for a spanner "... this big ..." holding up his finger and thumb to indicate the size. "Is that a large adjustable or a small?" asked the helpful storeman over a background of uncharitable laughter. DT_Xtremez_30:

Reading through this thread, I take the days when a decent Rigger could fix almost anything with a hammer, GS and adjustable are long gone then?
