Workshop

Everyday essentials for workshop projects.

What workshop products do you stock?
Hose and pipe cutters in small and large capacities, flexible, rigid and plastic thumb clip drivers, stainless rulers and rubberised tape measures, snap-off knives, hose clips in 10 and 100 packs and assorted boxes, off-cut mixed boxes of silicone, fluorosilicone, rubber and aluminium, blanking bungs, high-temperature adhesive sprays, rubber matting and lining carpet.

Why use a proper hose cutter rather than a knife?
Because a clean square cut is what makes a joint seal. A knife on reinforced hose tends to wander and leave an angled or ragged edge, and a hacksaw drags the reinforcement plies and frays them badly. A ratchet cutter shears through cleanly in one action. We do a 36mm capacity small cutter and a 42mm large ratchet version.

Which clip driver should I buy?
The flexible shaft driver reaches clips at awkward angles and behind obstructions, which is where most of the time goes. The rigid driver gives more direct torque for straightforward access. The plastic thumb driver is compact and cheap for small clips and light work. All three take a 7mm hex, matching our worm drive and mini clips.

Are the off-cut mixed boxes worth buying?
For a working shop, yes. Each box is an assortment of short sections in mixed diameters and lengths - silicone, fluorosilicone, rubber radiator hose or aluminium tube. When you need a short piece at short notice the box usually has something that fits, and it costs a fraction of the equivalent lengths bought individually.

What are blanking bungs for?
Blocking off a pipe stub or port you are not using, or capping open pipe ends during storage, transport, painting or blasting so nothing gets inside. We stock plastic solid and hollow bungs in several colours, plus silicone end caps in plain and reinforced versions - use the reinforced silicone cap if the port is pressurised.

Which adhesive should I use for van lining?
We stock Ultra Adhesive high-temperature multi-purpose contact spray and Trimfix high-temperature adhesive spray, both 500ml. Both are formulated for bonding carpet, foam and trim to metal and board and hold up to the heat a parked vehicle interior reaches in summer - which is where ordinary spray adhesives let go.
