Today I acquired...........

@angellonewolf he said educating kids, you are a adult human. But why would @Ruffian be teaching baby goats to drink beer is unknown

I'm 32 and no children and am planning on keeping it that way. Would rather show baby goats my skills than dragging this world into spiraling demise by encouraging people to drink

Today I acquired I got a bit of a hangover and I didn't get any grinding wheels for my birthday yesterday.

What I did get was a Makita impact driver set and the Die grinder I blagged off my sister.

Simple piece of kit, you turn the black knobs on the side to alter the numbers, similar to how buses used to change the routes in the window above their cabs by winding a handle, like so:

@eLuSiVeMiTe beat me to it .

It's s a legal requirement in the UK that any vehicle whose travelling height exceeds 3 metres is fitted with a height warning indicator such as this, so for the sake of a few quid it's not worth not having one. Strangely, the figures are in imperial but have to be a minimum of 40mm high . And yes, in the past I've loaded to 16' 5" high on a wafer-deck low loader, which gives 1" clearance under the recommended maximum height of 16' 6" for motorway bridges .

Great minds think alike. Bus sign was the first analogue I came up with

 

[selectedgrub]

Thank you both for the explanation.
Is it for the driver as a reminder or does it display facing outwards of the cab?

So did I but in my case the saying is Fools seldom differ

 

[bricol]

Yes, and I flinched noticeably going under every bridge between the centre of Dewsbury and Barking.

Some years ago, one of our loaded machines was under the height restriction of the railway bridge down the road from work . . . except the council had resurfaced the road by adding 6" plus of material to the original road surface but no-one had changed the height clearance sign . . . cue big "clang" as extractor fan on machine smote the bridge

Purely a reminder for the driver, although if you google "Bridge strikes", it soon becomes apparent that some of the halfwits that are let loose in heavy wagons need much, much more than that...

I walk under a 7’ 8” rail tunnel on my way to work and I think I must see 6 Luton vans stuck under it every year and about the same in HGV’s having to reverse an 1/8 mile back to get out.
Last year someone went under in a big old Hymer motor home and tore the roof off like a sardine can.
