rubbish tools you bought on a wim

[zeebeedee]

Went in my mums shed last night and could not stop laughing at the rubbish I used to buy as an apprentice! I remember thinking that will come in handy!

One of them floor board lifters

 

[Rickster123]

I love my floorboard lifter. A wonder bar I think it's called. Great tool.

Rothenberg self adjusting grips. Pysh. I launched them out a back door after 20 minutes.

The set of basin monoblock spanners that I bought which came without a 10mm one. First time I went to use the set it was a tap with a 10mm nut. Had to go out and buy another set. Was a Rothenberger set as well. They do two sets one with two box spanners and one with three.

Also the 1 1/4 plasticut plastic pipe cutter that I bought. tried it once and went back to my pipe shears.

Fugenboy silicone finisher, rubbish, went back to my finger and spray of soapy water. Agree with Mountainman about the plasticut, I have the 11/2 version and you need arms like a weight lifter to get it to turn.

My blow up sheep.....didn't want to cuddle:sad:

My de burring tool, never used it just use a file its quicker

 

[PlumbersMate]

I bought some roll cutters of eBay when I first started college, and no matter how much you turn them they won't cut deep enough to actually cut a piece if pipe! Lol no wonder they were so much cheaper than the monument/rothenberger ones!!!

A weird tool for doing up backnuts on toilet seats. Made from plastic. Totally pointless.

Best thing I ever bought was a doofer.

Doofer anything.

 

[secret squirrel]

Oh, my chisels, don't know why I ever bothered with them, I always end up using the nearest screw driver.....

 

[EPH]

Bought a small bender that just does 15mm, but all it really does is 15mm plastic coated.

One of those ladder tie bands, bright green and use less.

 

[Dannypipe]

Bought a set of ladder clamps for the roof rack.

They're in the shed. I still put my ladders on with very big cable ties and cut them off when I need the ladders. Which is rare. Most of the time I use the 'hop up' in the back of the van.

Used the clamps once and it was a hassle.
