Haltrac Hoist
« on: 29 August 2023, 13:31:46 »

We are having a gigantic clear out after a lifetime of hoarding.

I found my much used Haltrac Hoist . Extracted or put in many engines back in the 70’s. Prior to that I used to use proper hoist at local farm.

Couldnt imagine me ever using it again orr anyone else. ( the string might just have degraded!) .

So in the bin it went. I still have tools that are older.

What is oldest tool that you have ?

I thought a Haltrac hoist was the sort of thing used in care homes to get old duffers like you on and off the bog.   :)

Do you have a favourite tool?

For years it was an old pair of mole grips. But now a snarling smoky 2 stroke chainsaw has now taken it's place. :y

When you get to a certain age you can't be bothered getting on and off the bog.....just fill your pants and hear it squelch when you sit down. :)

A man needs a saw that can cut through human femur bone in case his wife becomes surplus to requirements but wants 50% of everything. :)

The first time I fitted a kitchen (20+ years ago) I treated myself to a Skilsaw Classic. Still makes me smile whenever I fire it up. Goes through any wooden board like a knife through butter. :-*
