Sparkymart Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I worked it a old boy like that he used to say " I can do more with my hammer than you can do with your entire toolbox Gunga Din".... we were forever going along behind him and putting things right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Till Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 An old colleague of mine used to refer to a hammer as a Manchester screwdriver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 There was a Fiat Uno used parts specialist in a back street of Reading a few years ago. I watched this Polish bloke remove the hub nut complete with engaged tab washer from a driveshaft using only a cold chisel and a hammer. The killer was, though, that the drive shaft was lying on the ground at the time and he held it between his knees! I had struggled to undo the hub nut on my son's Uno with the shaft still on the car and supported by the strut, with the tab washer released, and with a properly fitting socket. The 1/2" drive square had a helical form afterwards - that mf was TIGHT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFrancis Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 A true craftsman, he did all that work and never even knocked the fag ash of the end of his ciggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff oakley Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 That had me howling with laughter. I never had an engine crane when I was doing jobs on the side and used the rope method to lift engines out of many cars and refit. I was as described a burly chap, the young kids part was played by my then girlfriend (now my wife) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Taylor Posted March 27, 2020 Share Posted March 27, 2020 I think quite a few of us “of a certain age” have done that trick at some point lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hunter - Club Secretary Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Reminds me of helping my Dad change the engine in my moms Hillman Avenger! I was aged about 7, lay under the car trying to line up the clutch splines while he was hurling "encouragement" at me from above smoking one of many Players Number 6! Happy times! 😂😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
