Looks like a torture implement to me?? Although bit small for kneecapping somebody?? :RpS_confused:

 

[jesssop]

i think you sit on it :RpS_unsure:

 

[Olican]

What's that supposed to do ? :RpS_confused:

 

[Marshy]

Crimps the mesh at the side of angle beads to the wall meaning no nails etc. I think it might work on new block work?? As for old masonary etc?? Naa ?? :RpS_confused:

 

[flynnyman]

Pretty sure it's for skim beads on plasterboard

 

[scottie5]

There for crimping skim beads.

 

[Marshy]

Could be right there @flynnyman ??

 

[Marshy]

I've never seen one used on site? I've seen other spreads use a stapler to fix skim beads to plasterboard but not one of these things?

 

[beddy]

Someone on here said theyre for American beads which are a different size to ours?

[superspread]

I always stick mine with finish,that way you can adjust your bead

 

[Loren]

I've got one of those around the shop. I never use it though. It's left over from my Dad's old company, I think they got it back in the early 1980's.

 

[Gibbo]

No henry you cant use them on british beads

 

[leebo02]

fixed my skim beads with nails for the last 30 years and will keep on doing it that way

 

[spreadylonglegs]

cant beat a staple gun for sitework. Cant get much of a fixing with nails thesedays when dabbers dont put any stick on corners.

Beads are supposed to be bedded on, not staples - tut tut :-0
