It’s going into care Saturday ...what a machine three sets of brushes in 20 years used every day ..used and abused done big holes with wide core bits way beyond its spec . If I have to will get another but will wait for the prognosis
Have a good weekend all .....Centralheatking

I recently had a double tool loss. I was working on a concealed toilet cistern and dropped my slim jaw Bahco down into the cavity and it went down an abandoned open ended 4" pipe that was cut flush with the floor. I got my big magnet out and lowered it down on a string, hoping to pick up the spanner. I was excited to hear it snap on to the lost tool but quickly found the whole lot to be stuck. I couldn't even pull the magnet back out so I lost that too.

I don't use it every day but I think a slim jaw spanner is an essential where another adjustable won't fit. I'll have to get another one.

The building is likely to be demolished in the next few years so I'll see if I can get it back then.
