Re: Key broken off in U bar lock
Use an old coping saw blade, slide in with teeth pointing towards you, then gently pull out and hopefully with half a key. Did this a few times with broken abloy keys when I worked for a utilities company, never told them how I did it though!!!

Re: Wheel Nuts
Its name is derived from the fact that the wrench handle is reportedly a good size and shape to scoop peanut butter (a fairly cheap energy food for track cyclists) out of the jar

Re: Wheel Nuts
My old man called adjustable spanners 'nut wreckers' and he was so right, the tool of a bodger.
