In Poundland Now.

Post by Brambles »

I often pop into poundland and now and agian I buy stuff, it tends to be simple stuff, I got some cracking 14L plastic boxes with lids a couple of weeks ago. Anyhoo while I was in there today I found some Antislip Grips. For a pound I'll give 'em a go.

And here's one out of the box.

You stick your toe into the squarish hole and pull the double barred section onto the heel.

I've something similar myself, them being basically flat makes carrying them with you easier

I had a set of Yaktrax but they weren't good for snowy/icey pavements (The coils slipped on frozen asphalt and were lethal on drain-covers). YakTrax are probably better in less urban terrain then my commute

Nice price, I have two similar sets, cost more than that.

Like you; hoping for snow. :mrgreen:
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

I've had a set of these for a few years now, they are fabulous, just don't walk on linoleum or you will get pinned to it.... like I did..and leave tiny holes behind you :roll:

Yeah these were one of the first 'prepping' things we bought and they work well.

Not sure where ours went during the moves so will be stocking up on some more :D

Hopefully they'll have the plastic ponchos back as well then, used a few of mine doing my roadkill butchery!
