Norm's Gadget

Apr 20, 2012 9 Replies

Watching Norm build a shed on TV, he had a gadget I hadn't seen before.



Steel bar around 2' long. Attached to this about 6" from the base was a right angle steel bar - so the whole thing looked like a lower case "h". Both bars had points at the bottom & it pivoted where the right angled piece met the straight piece.



When fixing a side of the shed the straight piece was tapped into the floor & the angled bit tapped into the bottom of the wall section. Pulling back on the straight bar pulled the two together.



Any idea what such a gadget is called?


Cheap in the US but silly money over here

Because if not, then they must be the cheekiest bastards alive, asking 88 quid for 2 lengths of steel bar and a bolt to hold them together,

I thought Trojan was a brand of American condom?

Very true but it is an imported length of steel bar & bolt with a niche application.

I saw that coming :-)

There's an even worse joke there

... I shall resist
