Bollocks in a vice

Amazingly, SFW.

Each patient is like a puzzle full of clues, some misleading. The joy of the job is solving the puzzle. But it’s hardly the Sunday crossword. The Sunday crossword won’t come back and sue you. And if you can’t do it, you don’t have to tell the Sunday crossword’s mother that it’s dead

Blow the picture up, google the name, he was a saw maker so obviously something to do with saws. Even selling them on ebay. At first I thought it was something a cordwaqiner might use.

It's for lock wiring nuts, bolts, sump plugs etc on competition vehicles to prevent them vibrating loose.

You'll need one if you take up van racing..

And I have one available for hire.

I did buy one of these on a whim a while back:-

a Swiss Card Lite, and have found it to be very useful.

Pen, Pin, Tweezers, Magnifying glass, Four screwdriver blades, Torch, Scissors and Knife. All in a credit card-sized case. Just remember to remove it from the wallet before flying!..

I got mine in Millets - there are other versions available, with such things as toothpicks, files, etc - but the 'Lite' version seemed the most useful to me. Only the size of a ( thick ) credit card, but I probably use it about once a week, on average..

Van racing? you've seen me taking the wife to work then!

Its a well know fact that red vans can go twice as fast as cars in town and suburbs
