Cool tools

[Mixyblob]

Stanley Screwdriver. 2 sizes of Xpoint and 2 sizes of flat all in one. Deffo the handiest tool I own, (other than my angle grinder and battery drill) in fact I've probably got half a dozen, all in various locations. If only I knew where

Tigger-Tim you seriously carry an endoscope? How big is it?

The question was "So, what’s your cool tool for a MotorHome that others probably don’t know about? " - not whether you carry the tool on tour. It lives in my toolbox in the home garage.

Sporks are another favourite. They are brilliant for eating salads, especially those loose one with couscous, rice or other bits n bob’s. They always fall off flat forks! And good for cake

By way of a start, we love our breakfast knives (also known as picnic knives). They’re like sharp butter knives so you can cut bread and meat but also spread cheese and butter. They’re all you need for picnics, breakfast and most bbq meals. These are made by Opinel (who generally make great knives) we chose them because orange . They have a serrated cutting edge which has lasted without sharpening for at least six years. We also have some Kuhn Rinkon equivalents that are just as good.

You're welcome. I forgot to mention, it also has a couple of (not sure what size but small M6 ish) box spanners built in.
I think one of them fits a jubilee clip.
