I've lost my Stillsons

[ghostlymoron]

I've lost my Record brand stillsons. An unmatched pair of 12" and 18". Would these http://www.protecdirect.co.uk/Prote...ools/14"-Stillson---Drop-Forged---356mm/p/717 be suitable replacements ?

I would not countenance it on the grounds that they look awfully cheap, and that implies...


Even on Screwfix an 18" pair of Irwin Records are nearly £45 !

Cheap stilsons really are bad, will work on easy stuff, but when you really need them!
Its all in the teeth

I have an 18" and 12" Record Stillsons you can have if you ever come near Wilmslow.

That's tempting. You're not too far away.

Stillsons regularly turn up at local auctions where they only fetch a few pounds. So check a few local house clearance auctions out and grab a bargain.

Ridgid stillsons with the offset head. https://www.ridgid.com/us/en/offset-wrenches takes no prisoners!

I have a Rigid stilson - it's as good as any record.
