I think it is basically the same as you only cut when they are gripping and it only takes a touch with the knife. If you try and cut or stab when there is no tension then they usually cast the claw or bleed to death.You cut the opening joint, over this way they do the closing joint. Poke the hinged claw into a small hole, gentle pressure so the claw opens and then nick the joint. Slightly more secure as if the claw get wedged open it can't be closed.

Are you involved with geotechnical stuff?LH thread. They love doing that so you have to buy their expensive rods. Platypus ground anchors are the same.

There is some serious ripping off as far as parts go, handy as I can hand make parts and still undercut everyone else
Got out today.
@Parm. Your call saved me going into another shop.

A decent roofers bit and brace. Needs a clean. But the jaws work and it has decent springs.

Smaller versions of the adjustable spanner. The jaws will need work. But I know hoe to get it done now.

This mornings effort(s) - not the best/neatest job I've ever turned out, but ought to be adequate once I make the baffle plate to cover to outside of the exhaust vent. If this doesn't work/last I'll resort to Plan B - aka the Baldrick one of much cunning.....

Daft question - how thick is the exhaust hose? I'm thinking about getting one for the Garage Of Danger, would either have to drill a hole in the landlady's wall or run it out in the gap under the draughty garage door...

I decided to build a shelf so I could actually use my various bench grinders and linishing machine. Normally they take up valuable cupboard space and are a ball ache to get out. Don’t use them that often, but anything that makes life easier is good.

I like this I have done similar with my grinders but rather than a fixed shelf I fitted them on a wheeled stand as i like things portable.

More accurately, finished today. This has been kicking around under my feet for ages, you all know the set-up.....do a bit, get distracted by something else needing doing, moving on to another project.....
