Re: What Knipex pliers size will you choose?
Ah I see. Working on the "I've got enough tools" comment said by no bloke ever I'd then be tempted to build a couple of toolkits. One that just lives with the scooter and has spanners sized just for that and another for travel containing the grips and adjustable spanner. And perhaps a scre...

Re: What Knipex pliers size will you choose?
I worked in restoration for quite some time and it was not uncommon to have to bolt plates onto timbers. Most of us carried adjustable spanners and I still have an 8" and 15" in my toolbox but for any number of bolting jobs the ridged spanners came out and they became part of the kit in a ...

Re: What Knipex pliers size will you choose?
If it's just for the scooter I'd be inclined to add a couple of the most common sized proper spanners...

Re: What Knipex pliers size will you choose?
If it's being carried on a scooter or any other vehicle I'd always lean towards the larger ones . Weight would be less of a problem and the extra leverage is always good. For travel the smaller size could be a decent idea if they have to fit in a pocket although saying that I have a couple of pairs ...

Re: How long can you sustain your family on your stored food? And tips how to rotate
This brings me to a conclusion that we probably don't need much food to store - in case of a disaster we will be evacuated, in case of WW3 - well, I will try to move out from radioactive land to places that are less contaminated, but there is still a chance I have to stay put before the opportunity...

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 10
A question about the jerusalem artichokes . A couple of years ago I planted some in an old barrel half partly on the basis of how they spread comments . I didn't touch them as I wanted them to get established. However , the barrel which was second or probably fourth or fifth hand gave up the ghost ...

Re: Disproportionate storage
If anyone can find an historical example of a situation where bread , potatoes and pasta have disappeared but bacon and butter have still been plentiful I'd be glad to hear of it. A bit odd historical fact - I am from Central Asia and, during Perestroika, we could buy meat on the market because the...
