There is a commonly used DiY tool that is worse than useless on a boat. If you have one, throw it away now. What is it?
Some clues:
It is a common hand tool - no electricity involved
The problem it causes is not a safety issue
Worse than useless. If you did use it you would cause big problems - do NOT use one on a boat
It is very commonly used by chippies, kitchen fitters, plumbers, etc since time immemorial
Someone fitting out a boat on dry land might find it OK to use, but I doubt it. Once the boat is in the water it would lead to serious errors in fitting out.
A last cryptic clue - Would a confused viper sell it?
HERBIE! Journeys on our narrowboat and the trials and tribulations of maintaining her.
Spirit level
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jan.
ReplyDeleteSeen as "viper sell it" is an anagram for spirit level, Im with you both
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm with the others :)
ReplyDeleteI had a friend who fitted racking for huge computer systems on oil rigs and he always said it had to be done by eye as a spirit level was useless.
You wouldn't want to be doing any bell 'umpin' either.
