That's brilliant - I can use one on the Year 9s at school!

Get your thumb in there, ya b*****!

Are Black & Decker trying to corner the market in irritating tools :? :?

Cheers :wink:

What next?

Soon, they'll put our brains into pickling jars, attach electrodes and communicate our needs through the ether, because the notion of "lifting a finger" is fast becoming a lost art

Hope it works better than the powered tape measure - Mrs scrums bought me one for christmas about 2 years ago - didn't have the heart to tell her that it was going to be **** - and it was - noisy, heavy and ate batteries.

 

[LeeElms]

This one appears to eat batteries as well ... only 60 'clamps' per set ...

 

[AndyBoyd]

Does seem slightly cheaper than Bessy though - there for it if rightly priced to temp the un-initiated #-o :sign3:

Image having 20 of them for a big clamp up - 20 chargers to plug in - making sure all are charged, finding 3 were not mid glue up :roll: :roll: :roll:

Never mind the gimicky battery powered nature of them, they look like they'd break if you sneezed on them. :roll: :roll:

This is the type of thing marketed at someone who wouldn't have a clue what to do with a clamp.

The pharse "When you make something idiot proof, then only idiots use it" springs to mind.

 

[dunbarhamlin]

Trouble is idiots can be most inventive :lol:

No problem - you'll have thrown it away after the first one :lol:

What clamping force does it apply? I assume it is intended for someone who has only got one finger.

 

[LeeElms]

Clamping Force - 300-500 lb
