It’s a pipe reaming tool (possibly bahco?) I have a monument one, although sometimes the blade falls out of the end.

Nice one KOP, yes all those units add up - they could’ve had a basin/ped and bog in a box for less than £100 - but that’s probably what you chucked out in the first place.
As long as they cough up that’s the main thing.

Some sadistic w⚓ who whilst adding an extra skin of stone, so a three ply wall, thought it would be great to fill the cavity with small pebbles. Played havoc with the core drill.

I give up with the core, struggled to get a pilot hole through but got it through, then come back through from outside. But then couldn't get my pipe through. Put the sledgehammer through the half stone in temper.

I have a proper flushing adapter for the old style
The new one feels cheap
Its a faf to fit, the nuts come off the valve
Feels like a downgrade to me
