Favorite infrequently used tool

[Roger Welton]

You know the one that sits on the van or in the garage and doesn't see the light of day very often, but when you need it makes life so much easier.

I think i would say mine is my pump for emptying oil tanks, whips 600l out in 5-10mins (depending on how many shredded wheat I've had in the morning)

Battery angle grinder.

 

[johnnyplumb]

i bought one of these,
i thought it would have been good for those times when you get caught short, like in traffic jams etc

but it was no good for me , as the opening was only 3", might be alright for others though.

I have a litre/sec electric transfer " Pussi Panther " pump also. Rarely need it, & it takes up space due to the hoses, but worth having & very handy. Cost £169 for it, nozzle & hoses.

I just hag the hoses for min on the outside of the shed, if any one tried to nick them theyd get covered in oil!

Wouldn't say they aren't used regularly but these are cracking. I know a hacksaw can do the same job but one squeeze and the olive is off and no chance of damaging the pipe. Got them in 15mm and 22mm but didn't pay for them which makes them even better!

I keep looking at olive cutters but , then see the price and think a hacksaw works ok anyway :lol:

My portable table saw. Comes out of the van once a month or so but superb for cutting up sheets of ply.

Air nailer. It only comes out once in a while if I've had to do some boxing in but it's a pleasure to nail with such ease.

I've not used the Paslode in ages but that's great fun if a little smelly and noisy.

I'm doing a fair bit on a local caravan park and the road layout is so confusing that I'm having to use google maps on my iPad to find my way round it.
