My most useful gizmo, the transfer drive.
Fit a ratchet one end and a socket the other, a belt driven whizz.
Whats yours?[frame]

Truth is Ged I bought it many years ago and cant remember where.
I have tried googling it with no success, I think I shall take the covers off tomorrow and try to find a manufacturers label.
As it had a patent at some time I would have thought sales success would be positive, but I shall let you know if I find anything printed on it.

I have one of them, brilliant.
But most useful gizmo for me telescopic stick with magnet on the end, was put to good use the other week when my girlfriend dropped her moggy keys down a grid! Lucky for us it worked.
