In a moment of sheer boredom I thought I'd ask what mythical tools you'd have in your tool box if you could buy one? A long weight, essential for calibrating scales. A long stand A scuffers hammer? Anything else? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I once sent an apprentice to our stores for a quarter inch glass drill. he came back 15mins later saying that "you'll not get me on that one; so I went and had a coffee."

 

He still did not believe me till I showed him the eighth inch drill I had for drilling the holes in mirrors!

Being in the tyre game a long weight is too easy so we tend to go for a pair of Fallopian inner tubes.
