@KevM:

Apart from the fact it's silver instead of black there was what looks to be identical items on offer in our local Aldi last week - about 10 quid. OK, that's Aldi in Switzerland but from time to time when people have posted Aldi & Lidl UK offers on this Forum I've found very sililar/the same on offer here at about the same time.

Screwfix 'bargain bin', vintage circa 1999, never once made a straight cut with it - what was I thinking! Looking at the geography it actually could have been mine, and it appears to be missing the shonky mini g-clamp I'm still using to clamp a piece of string to a broomstick, although for the life of me I can't remember why...

Actually, I think this might have made a good candidate for the most useless tool thread that was running a while back.

I have one of those. Had it ages and used it, erm let me think, Hardly ever.

Just rubbish.

But this has made me think, I am sure I could use the little clamp for something.

I can recommend it for holding a piece of string to a broomstick...

...... which would be VERY useful if you were starting a Skiffle group!

 

[MickCheese]

Ok. Must go and buy a broomstick.

Just remembered I have a family member who has one.

:lol: Off to find a washtub or a tea-chest then.

Uh, uh - wash BOARD, not wash tub. Tsk, Tsk, what would that sound like.

I was actually thinking of the wash-tub bass, of which the tea-chest bass is a close cousin, but acknowledge the importance of the washboard in skiffle ethnomusicology!
