One of those great ideas? I don't think so!

Can't see why they're so chuffed with themselves, considering Terry Tools made them for BA hexagons 40 years ago ..  :scratch:

Still drilling holes... Sometimes, in the right place!

Still modifying bits of metal... Occasionally, making an improvement!

Very handy for getting nuts on in awkward places. When I was at Plessey, all the biddys on assembly used 'em.
Do have a downside tho'. One of 'em swiped a bluebottle away from her face, and sliced her fizzog, having forgot she had it on !!
The more uncharitable amongst the staff declared it an improvememt ....  :D
