Tools from the bin

摘要

Of course, when I mention 'the bin' (or the 'trashcan' for many non-UK readers) I mean recycling as well. Here we have the opportunity to do our bit for the recycling of materials as well as saving a bit of cash. I use the term 'tool' in its widest form -that is an implement, especially one held in the hand, for performing or facilitating mechanical operations. Some of the tools that I mention in this article will be familiar to old hands. However, even for old hands I think there might just be some new twists! Let's do some old favourites first. They lose nothing from being repeated and will definitely help new starters.
