Oyster tools for £1!
lsdweb - 1/1/11 at 02:50 PM

Hi All

My local B&Q had Oyster tools loose in the £1 bin a couple of days ago - they weren't barcoded so the guy was happy to sell them as a manager's special for a £1.

Worth a look if you're after one and in B&Q.

If anyone is in the North East and looking for one B&Q Sunderland have them for £2 in 15mm & 22mm, down near the plaster boards in the bargin boxes.

I've got one spare - I will 'sell' it for a fiver. If somebody wants it and promises to put a fiver in the next cancer charity box they see, I'll post it to them!

They are for making a sliding connection, in the kit you get fittings to screw into,say, a radiator, said fitting has an O ring in the bore, you push a length of copper tube through the fitting and crimp the end of the tube with the Oyster pliers, this stops it pulling out, screw fitting into rad and this gives you adjustment from the rad(or whatever) to the inlet pipe.
