Went in my mums shed last night and could not stop laughing at the rubbish I used to buy as an apprentice! I remember thinking that will come in handy!
 
One of them floor board lifters

I love my floorboard lifter. A wonder bar I think it's called. Great tool.
 
the "cut anything" wire with a handle at each end.
mislaid it before I even had the chance to use it.:nonod:
 
Rothenberg self adjusting grips. Pysh. I launched them out a back door after 20 minutes.
 
The set of basin monoblock spanners that I bought which came without a 10mm one. First time I went to use the set it was a tap with a 10mm nut. Had to go out and buy another set. Was a Rothenberger set as well. They do two sets one with two box spanners and one with three.

Also the 1 1/4 plasticut plastic pipe cutter that I bought. tried it once and went back to my pipe shears.
 
Fugenboy silicone finisher, rubbish, went back to my finger and spray of soapy water. Agree with Mountainman about the plasticut, I have the 11/2 version and you need arms like a weight lifter to get it to turn.
 
My blow up sheep.....didn't want to cuddle:sad:

My de burring tool, never used it just use a file its quicker
 
I bought some roll cutters of eBay when I first started college, and no matter how much you turn them they won't cut deep enough to actually cut a piece if pipe! Lol no wonder they were so much cheaper than the monument/rothenberger ones!!!

A weird tool for doing up backnuts on toilet seats. Made from plastic. Totally pointless.
 
Oh, my chisels, don't know why I ever bothered with them, I always end up using the nearest screw driver.....
 
Bought a small bender that just does 15mm, but all it really does is 15mm plastic coated.
