Hernia Bar name

[Tin basher]

I know what it does and how to operate the thing but does anybody know the proper technical offical name for the good old hernia bar?

 

[Hu Jardon]

Isn't it a Turnex?

 

[Harry B'Stard]

Not sure either, however there is now a version for sale that is made by a proper tool manufacturer (not just summat bolted together by workshops).

Not sure what they call it?

Finch lever set. No idea of an NSN at the moment, maybe someone bored in tool stores can look in the bottom drawer and see if it's on the box?

Soo has beaten me to it, I have been trying all day to remember what it was called, But if I remember correctly we also referred to the drop tank support tool thingy as a hernia bar.

 

[Bungala_The_Third]

Not sure about the old manufactured ones which were good but I know that the new ones are made by company caled Turnex and they actually do a very good job, better than the old one. Ill try and get nsn

I've never called the Finch lever a hernia bar, but your are right Pie, the green supports used to lift tanks onto heaps are called hernia bars.

 

[Harry B'Stard]

There is a Hand tools IPT which should be able to look into it for you TB.

Ask me tomorrow, I've got the number on my desk!

In addition, they also produced a CD-ROM that contained all the tools they supplied (everything from screwdrivers to shovels!). Not sure where you could get a copy of it, but it was an eye opener as to what you could actually order.

Just had a look at the Turnex catalogue through the British Defence Equipment website.

Oh my God have you seen that set!

It comes in a range of sizes and they can deliver it with imperial or metric attachments!

I'm off for a little while.....

I knew a bloke who had Hernia once...

What happened to him?

 

[Spearmint]

I once witnessed 2 Navy Part 4's (Great supervision there eh?) fasten up a panel with a Hernia Bar before. Went up to them and casually asked if they fancy telling the riggers how many fasteners will need drilling out or should I.

 

[theladf]

Turnex do make them now, I also heard them referred to as grolly bars! the ones shown in Harry B Stards post (the curved one) is frequently used to extract fasteners fron exhaust components on Trents at my place!DT_Xtremez_19:

What happened to him?

He got better.

But he later died of horrific injuries sustained from a Hernia bar related accident, how we laughed at the irony.

 

[Jcpenny]

I can get you the NSN and full names for both the new straight bar and curved bar tomorrow,

 

[Teh Wal]

Thanks for the link HTB, nice one.

And JCPenny, that'll hit the spot DT_Xtremez_14:

I've known them as Grolly Bars too, seems to be a location type thing.

What's a "Navy Part 4"?

Is "The Irony" some kind of gay bar?
