They're good but on rough floor the wheels pull out and sit on the skew, getting caught and only wanting to go the wrong direction.

We had a handful of the things at the airport for general use, they lasted reasonably well, given the abuse they got.

Loads of those cordless windy guns up here. Go to another local one. I spotted those ratchets on Saturday but I only saw the 1/2" one. I might go back and have a spoach.

I saw those impact guns yesterday, I considered one but it'd be a pain to get back on the bike and I've spent too much lately anyway.

To look and find.
When I was little I'd go spoaching for Christmas presents in wardrobe etc.

To go looking to take things that aren't yours, technically.

Northern/Scots version of poaching.

I got the Y pipe up and bolted on to the fannymolds - but it's not quite right yet. I ordered some brass nuts (apparently they also fit MG midgets) to bolt the flanges on with.

Pah! ordered UNC when I need UNF. Usual level of incompetence.
