Lambretta repair tools explained
■ DRILL PRESS: A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bars out of your hands, smacking you in the chest and flinging your beer across the room, denting the freshly painted project which you’d carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.
■ WIRE WHEEL: Cleans paint off bolts before throwing them somewhere under the workbench at the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, ‘Oh shit!’
■ A superior piece of kit which supersedes the old method of stick welding to produce a beautiful line of chicken shit weld, ensuring that any metal you’ve attempted to weld together will not hold due to incorrectly setting the wire speed and amp rating.
