Another laughable tool

Just seen this advertised on the tele...

If your so useless you cant operate an adjustable spanner properly, you shouldnt be allowed to cross the road on your own to buy one surely

I can confirm, that Noddy does have an adjustable spanner in his toolbox for fixing his car. :thumbright:

For another £10, you could have a Snapon pair :?

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"
She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

"Other than that,this is a decent bit of kit". Who the hell wrote the article, :sad:

I've seen this advertised a few times last night for the first time and sad to say it does appeal - slightly. The way the ad runs makes it look like a wrench for someone who is totally inept, which is probably their target!!

I like the way the normal spanner gets dropped down the bog. :lol:

I wonder which could still work after being dropped down the bog though, the normal one, or the electric one... :wink:

ive seen this advertised thought it was a bit naff but i also saw a B&D drill advertised minutes before which had pictures on the torque settings detailing which job to use which setting for. Worryingly it seems this could help quite a lot of people with the amount of people ive seen ramming screws into timber on drill setting with their cordless.
