Ive always had knipex "old school" pumps, but does anyone have any preference for the knipex with a button/ratchet on the head - thinking of trying a pair but knipex are knever cheap ???

Just got a pair of 10"/250mm Bilateral grips on Amazon, nearly £60 with delivery. Absolutely brilliant, fantastic bit of kit, heavy duty.
Will be getting 12"/300mm in due course, I think they make a 16"/400mm pair for big stuff would love them as well.

I still get a tear in my eye when I think of my lovely 10” bahcos residing at the bottom of a cavity wall, fell three stories. They wouldn’t let me remove a brick outside - next time it’s on the market I’m going round in the middle of the night between exchange and completion.

They wouldn’t let me remove a brick outside ....

Many years ago...

Young Chuck: Oh dear, what do we do now?

Old Hand: We go fishing.

YC: Really? Shouldn't we try to get that spanner out first?

OH: Idiot. Get the reel of string and my strong magnet.

And YC was enlightened.

Ok , please do not ban me but Maybe this is entering Stilson
Land . I have 36” stilson 24 “ Stilson and.1x 10 inch ‘King Dick’.
36 Stilson plus a scaffold bar and some oxy ach will free off most big diameter pipes. Unless you use chain dogs ..got those as well Centralheatking
