over this side of the water we used to dip the clips in old diesel ,, untill health and safety stopped it ,, my reasoning was , we have to wear gloves anyway , no big deal . and by the way when i first started the only gloves you were lucky enough to get where the rubber oil resistant gloves that took the skin off your hands in winter , well before these rubber luxury gloves ya get nowdays ;]

Either its all pipes and clamps

 

[Jason-Gibbs]

wot u prefer scaffs ??? or are u a believer in the old boys sayin "a good scaff will use anything" .... (loves a debate on the old ways and new ways ov scaffolding) :nuts::nuts::nuts:

Presco - superior in every way. They are also more adaptable and have several uses, like: pinching thin steel, tying down overlapping Toeboards, gripping onto thinner width tubes and such, besides using as a hook to hang your Harness at Breakfast time (which all a Boulton/Sticky Willys are good for).

Drop forge are ok, but more and more im coming across careless Scaffs who dont pay attention when doing them up and leave the 't-piece' at the back of the bolt on the piss... a BIG fail in its design if you ask me.
Although... those cheap Indian made Presco's are a bit dodgy.

 

[Gerscaff]

Mills Doubles All The Way For Me Gents, Although I Do Like Band And Plate As Well .

 

[scaffatron]

Anything except stickys Bolton doubles they make me cry

 

[Toppers]

Sticky willies, Mills, Band and Plate just send them up.

 

[hopper68]

I like the old stickies, the new ones are p1sh, the prescos ive got 30,000 of them here, there ok but with the salty atmosphere here they rust pretty quick, months infact..

It says.....

There is f*ck all wrong with ready locks marra as they are rapid! Drop forge are a smoother fitting for me than the pressed, and I'll only put stickies on end of tube never in middle. And they are a nightmare to slide along a tube! arghh!

Job looks better when only 1 fitting typed is used, if I can I get drop forged doubles and press swivels as dropped seem to snag and have to snap them back

 

[bigfish]

Drop forged for me,but i do like b&p and mills's and ready locks,just seems that a lot of scaffs nowadays can only use one type,whatever it is that they've been brought up on:amazed:

 

[philliosmaximus]
