Torque Screwdriver.....

[EalingBadger]

I have one of these:-

13 Piece Fully Loaded VDE Adjustable Torque Screwdriver - https://www.armeg.com/13-Piece-Fully-Loaded-VDE-Adjustable-Torque-Screwdriver

Not cheap, but seems great.

I spotted these on special at £29.99 in CEF in Brentford yesterday.

Gutted, as I paid full price for one only a few weeks ago. :-(

Bloody Wera torque handle on it’s own costs a lot more than that whole set.

going to CEF tomorrow.( PS. don't let Pete999 see this thread.)

Is Brentford Nylons still going?

 

[telectrix]

doubt it.when the septics went home in 1945, their sales slumped. and our women had to come back to the real world where nothing is for nothing.

Sod Brentford ..... let's talk about nylons.

 

[EalingBadger]

Is Brentford Nylons still going?

Fortunately, Brentford Nylons is long gone.

Both me and the missus retain deep mental scares as a result of being tortured by our respective mothers with nylon bed sheets in the 1960s and '70s.

Absolutely dreadful. Damned things would never wear out.

I have both the Armeg and Wiha and I am not convinced they are any good, keep snapping off the blades of the armeg and the Wiha seems to rip screws to shreds. I tend to do up by hand and then check with the torque driver which works for me. If I had to choose between the two I would buy the Armeg as easier to use and a better design!

Bludi Brentford Nylons fitted sheets!
The scars on my knees, heat burns, killed the passion!

Erm...JK, where did you get my wife's pic???
Just asking....

Tank tops, platforms and Brentford nylons, oh and the summer of 76.

 

[pirate]

Ah...summer of '75!
Where did my cherry go?

Oh, stupid maths!
Summer of '65!

 

[pirate]

Oh, wait a minute...
got my first real 6 string
bought it at the 5 and dime...
now...
what year would that be?

 

[Deleted member 26818]

It was 66 when we won.

 

[Deleted member 26818]

I think that was the summer of 69.

 

[EalingBadger]

Ah, yes, the summer of '76 - truly one to remember.

The drought got so bad round our way that the water company took to delivering water by bowser in the street.

I took it myself last week while you were at work.

Summer, autumn, winter, or spring .... anytime of year is good for 69

Indeed so. 1976 was the year that I started my apprenticeship, got laid for the first time, got stoned for the first time, bought my first guitar and amp, took my first driving lesson, and had the pleasure of seeing Status Quo three nights on the trot at the legendary Glasgow Apollo. Fond memories.

Alas, Status Quo are rubbish these days and have been since the early 80s, I no longer enjoy driving, don't smoke weed any more, and am gradually growing more and more disillusioned with this electrical contracting lark. Oh to be sixteen again!

Amen to every single one of those, brother!

Ah, if only I'd known then what I know now. How life would have been very different.

Aye, Status Quo on the cassette player in the car, smoking grass and drinking while you drive...
No wonder I can't cope with the modern lifestyle!

(Which is why I moved to Spain...)

 

[pirate]

BTW...what the heck is all this to do with torque screwdrivers?

I guess I was stoned and I missed it...

(answers on a postcard, or just reply here!)
and JK...I will be very surprised if you ain't the first to guess the band!)
