plug drift,flaring tool for lead,moleskin for lead wiping and yes its tallow for lead not flux

1) rawldrill - left many a part bit in walls as an apprentice
2) looks like some sort of punch
3) moleskin / wiping cloth - still got mine and clamps- still gets you out of a hole sometimes.

The second one still gets used up to the line today.

Go on Tamz, put me out of my misery, reveal what exactly no2 is ?

Here is another one. Different version.


Seen a few people nearly losing a finger with this type.

that would have been useful today,the apprentice has the squirts would have stopped him going to the bog every ten seconds

Similar thing but for copper. We call them drifts up here. Used for manipulative type B compressions.
