Wing nuts

I love them! Forget those proxy plastic things; nothing better than flicking those nuts with your forefinger.

It is quite therapeutic, one of my favourite things is spinning them off on a back boiler and seeing if they come off in one spin.
Theres a fire with about 10 of the things on the glass panel securing it in place, it makes my day

It is therapeutic. Forget CBT, let's have WNT!!!

Once had a apprentice we called wing nut

My old apprentice was called stupid, i never called him that as i felt bad for him. He is just about time-served now and he is a decent enough plumber

Old apprentice was called wing nut or FA cup.

 

[scotty plumber]

There are quite a few oddly wonderful tactile feelings in plumbing. I love the moment a tough screw yields to your screwdriver. That little exhale of air as it spins free.

I also love cracking the nut on an old rad valve to drain it. For much the same reason. Hold breath, big exertion, release.

.....flicking your nuts with your finger, isn't that painful mate?
