MYSTERY OBJECTS

[Cathy]

Stanley , what size is the brush? Can't get my head around it cleaning the wheels of a car.

[Stanley]

I think 6" overall Cathy....
I've reviewed hundreds of brushes and can't find a match.

[PanBiker]

An abrasive stone with a handle.

[Tripps]

Close enough - well done. It's a pumice stick - as recommended by Kim and Aggie of "How clean is your house". Said to remove heavy stains from the toilet - without damaging the porcelain - and it did - for a while. Took a while to come from China.

[Stanley]

[Big Kev]

[Whyperion]

Boot Scraper ? somethink to do with Ice weather ?

[Stanley]

[Big Kev]

Nay to both, although a bit of it is useful if it's icy.

[Big Kev]

Think safety while working at height.

[Stanley]

An accessory for window cleaning?

[Whyperion]

wromg way round to be anti slip on a ladder

[Stanley]

Does it clip on your boot to give a better grip on slates or tiles?

[Big Kev]

Whyperion discounts it but actually has the right answer. The rubber pads sit on the ground and the 'feet' can be tipped onto the spiked end to grip on ice or snow (or any other soft surface). I will say I have no intention of using my ladder in the ice or snow.

I discounted it because most ladders these days come with rubber feet anyway. Ideally ladders should these days be teathered to walls too , but drilling the holes for the eye screws brings its own problems of damaging the walls including potential water ingress to cavity walls that have been stuffed with blown or some slab insulation. I suppose the ice claws maybe of more use in climates with more snow - Norway or some Alpine region when you have to clean the gutters .

[Stanley]

Funny how it is so obvious as soon as you get the answer! Of course I knew that....
I shall go and find us another object,



6" overall. What is it?

[Gloria]

Gas tap for gas wall light?

[Stanley]

I can see what led you to that Gloria.... But no, it's heavier duty than that and industry related.....
