either that or they are in use that often that the bottle is a handy resting place? i used to clip all my in use vice grips on the handle of my mig while i was welding, close to hand and hard to lose that way

I cant say owt really as i hang all off my leads off the regulator, that is what they are for isn't it?

I nearly bought an Xr3i back in the day, but having test driven one against an Astra GTE, went with the latter.

Can I ask what the vice-grips are doing there in the penultimate pic in post #1?

Witch pic?

A better made car by far the astra . Shame they spoiled it
