Well how dumb am I? (Do not DARE!)

For years I have been somewhat nonplussed by the term "radiator Key" in that there is no such thing for a car radiator down here.

Central heating radiator................ :oops:

Not much call for them in a sunburned land aye.

Old Dears and far away strange places.

Love it!

Every British member or guest will have learnt something useful from you, thanks.

I'm forming an uncomfortable mental picture of you Tam, wearing sport socks & lycra, up there in the snow!

That's why Hadrian built that wall, perhaps King Trump is right, I can see the Mexicans thinking their wall might be a very good idea & well worth paying for!

For those of you who have had their air conditioner units running from 7 Am to 11Pm everyday since the beginning of November,

I made mine out of an old length of seagull water pipe. Bent to a 90 degree so you can grab hold of it. The business end squeezed in a vice so that it's now a square end that fits over the jets.
Works a treat and cost me nothing but 30 minutes of my time to make. It's long reach too, which is where some of these "radiator keys" can fall a tad short.

Had i gone to my local poundland it probably would have cost me more in petrol there and back. But i'm just a tight old git. :shock:
If i can make what i need then i generally do. Recycle and re-use with whatever comes to hand.

I made mine by driving a small copper pipe onto the square tang of a small triangular file, then bending the other end to form a handle.
