Gone like a flash mate lol but as soon as they drop a weld and it all goes tits up they used to be our best mates to help them out, it’s funny I miss all that gang camaraderie bit of a lonely job what I do now but I still keep good relations with all my old muckers.

There was a lightweight version of a stressing kit, can't remember what it's name was, it was condemned not long after it was introduced
