A tool I didn’t know I needed.

Hang up your Chisels and Plane blades and take a load off with a recently turned goblet of your favourite poison, in the lounge of our Gentlemen's (and ladies) Club.

A tool I didn’t know I needed.

Never heard of this before until it appeared in a pop up ad! :D

I don’t do any plumbing now so I’ll never need one. ;)

Made a few grooves in pipes using a junior hacksaw to split an olive or two!

I wouldn't trust replacing the olive. Whenever I've looked at the pipe after an olive has been removed, there's a compression groove round the pipe. So you're expecting the new olive to fit that exactly. Guess you could wrap PTFE tae round though.

But why would you need it anyway ?

I’ve managed with a junior hacksaw & fine flat bladed screwdriver for the last 37 years so I think I’ll save my money :P

Yes, quite.

I did mention it to a mate who’s a heating engineer and he doesn’t have one but he did say his son who is a plumber has one.
