scraping off the underseal from a repair constitutes"damage to the vehicle"so you are supposed to replace it afterwards along with the protective coating(i.e.grease)that you removed from that rotten brakepipe that they camouflaged with copaslip.mind how you go lads....

Bright Ideas?

Dam that's a shame, just when I thought that the hammer on the board was a backup for the toffee hammer:D

Is the wire brush not used for scraping off the underseal after leaving the VTS for a welding repair, then one can inspect the quality of repair before passing and advising:D

How do you hang the new digital tyre tread depth gauge on the hooks of the board:D

It is used to clean the small hammer that is also on some boards.

 

Seriously, its not part of official kit, neither is the small hammer if yours has one.

(I dont meann the Corrosion assesment tool there is a  real hammer on our board)

 

Use it to keep your turn plates clean?

When I got the mot toolboard, there was and still is a wire brush on it. Any idea what the official use is for it ?
