My Fitbit Charge HR has arrived at home Will report back once I get to open it this evening.

Do they fit the slightly longer mortice / chubb keys?

I think you quoted the wrong person there

What do you use them for? (I mean, cutting things obviously. But I meant more specifically). And what is the significance of the 3 different blade shapes?

There are 2 new Head Gasket Bobbles out. I have 2 already, they are brilliant and perfect for walking the dog. Don't know if I should get another as spare in case they stop producing them...

Been eyeing the pink one for a while but I don't wear hats so I'm still trying to justify it. Last time the stickers were in stock I was on it like a tramp on chips though.

Go for it. I didn't wear hats, but these are perfect for being out in the cold.

Well the flat long blade is for slitting your victims throat, the curved blade is for skinning the bones and the tanto blade is for ripping the bones apart. Well that's what I told my son who asked me on the drive home from school, I have no idea really

Needed an M6 three square bit. Came out of the shop with this.

We've all been there. I have one too - I only needed one bit of it and have only ever used the one bit. Once.

I'm also not entirely sure where it is now either.

It's worth getting one of those for in the car isn't it?

I'd say absolutely essential! Great price

and only £27 today! Bonus.

What's the bit in the bottom left hand corner used for? I have one in my set and I've never understood what to use it for.

Screwing in cup hooks apparently! I didn't know either and had to google it!

I've always done them by hand, or by putting a screwdriver through the middle and twisting it! Never knew there was an actual tool for it!!

Yep, or the other version is a normal socket, but filled with sprung loaded pins - so rounded nuts or cup hooks can still be gripped and tightened/loosened.

I've got one of those too.

The original was called "Gatorgrip", I think. But there have been loads of cheap knock-offs (of which mine is one).

Everybody, meet my boss.

I use one with work regularly and they are fantastic. Eats batterys though.

We now get provided with one when we join. At that price it's worth every penny (even at full price it's work it in my opinion!).

If that worked with 18650 batteries then I would buy it straight away, but not standard AA batteries.

(have 2x 18650 batteries and charger that I don't use anymore)

Or 4 x AA, but AAA are the ones that I never have... (And no, I don't want you to find a AA version, thank you very much).

Gatorgrips are great for getting wheels off of a car that have locking nuts..

You utter fking legend...

My GTM has killed it's thrust bearing, and I was struggling to figure out how I was gonna fix it - locking nuts with no key, no tow hooks, etc.

I'll be digging through the shed tonight for my very old gator grip!
