Bright lights, BIG City

[clarkey]

Evening all,
New to the forum joined last week, i assume most of the scaffs on here work in the bright lights of the city!! as i do not, where im from we have only just got running water & and this thing called electric!!!

All joking to one side i see that alot of you use battery guns, not many or even any using guns up are way yet( as us country folk do catch up in the end ).

Surley you cant use the gun in all situtions so the trusty spanner must still stay by your side.

Hello mate.
Welcome.

I dont use an Impact Drill, nor do i plan on starting to... - I love my spanner too much, lol.
But, common sense would dictate that the many 'robo-scaffs' that frequent these forums would carry a spanner, just incase.

If not a spanner, id have thought definitely a ratchet or adjustable for tighter squeezes.


Drills for Scaffolding eh?
Whats next... Levels with magnets in them!? :laugh:

Hahahaha, f00kin hell mate, my sentiments exactly. If you ask a few on here there's a thread where i totally ripped the boys for using an impact wrench.. Have a look, think Viking still uses one, i have changed my opinion slightly but I still think they are for benders and nancy boys.
