Was a very similar 1% question to the last time I watched it. FEIR? Recurring theme in the 1% question maybe?

As Tom O'Connor and/or Lionel Blair nearly said in the TV quiz - 'Name That Tool' :-D

Dominic Chinea - he of BBC's The Repair Shop - has a book out in October about hand tools. He's just done a Youtube about it and jokingly said about the cover : "If you can't tell what these tools are and what they're used for, then you need this book"

So.... as specifically as possible - what are they and what are they for ? :)

Also TOH I would agree with Neil on 10 of them but differ in 2:
No 2 A perforating wheel
No 9 wire strippers

I don't have the definitive answers, but I think No.2 is a Pounce Wheel - used for signwriting. Not sure that No.4 is a centre punch or that No.5 is a plumb bob.... but I don't have any better answers :lol:

Today, and yesterday 16 seconds job but got them both.

Heardle

Had to wait for Bob to start his vocals, before "Like a rolling Stone" became recognisable yesterday, and had to go back to car radio days from 1999, and a pick the right boy band, pick the right song for todays poser.

Clue...Fannie Hurst's Novel may help lead you to the right answer, so good they made it into a film 3 times :-D

I missed doing the dles altogether yesterday due to our day out so not only did I miss the chance of another 'no idea', I also inadvertantly ended my wordle string at 71! Frustrating as I hadn't realised that missing altogether counts as a fail! I have begun my new string of 1 this morning :-D

At least I can also confirm yet another 'no chance' for today's heardle!!

Two seconds yesterday, unmistakable.
No chance today, sounds like one of the atrocious boy bands.
