That was one of the first tools I bought... and 95% of bolts I tried it on were too far gone - or I had terrible technique. I chalked it down as bollox and bought a compressor and impact gun.

Glad it's working for you though!

I've got one of those in the garage somewhere. Essential on 1970 jap bikes with crosshead screws made of cheese. No one had heard of JIS in those days. First thing we did was buy a hex bolt kit from Mr Fastener to replace those screws.

Not run my SV for around 3 weeks. Went into Garage. Full Choke, Ignition on. Press button and went straight into High-Idle. No bad for a Motorcycle in it's 22nd year

Gotta love Redex and Step chargers

I weighed in a boot full of metal today, first time I've ever done it -had to be pretty firm on the price I wanted and be wise to a little wool-pulling but was a big smile when I got £100 more than I thought I had.

If it leaks it's a sign from above ... nothing to do with me

SMOTD from a week ago.

I was given a car, sister upgraded and couldn't be bothered with selling/trade-in.

Rode home from work today in the light. All the way home. Even a bit of light left in the sky to get out for a walk with the dog once home too.

That's always a good feeling.
