B&M backscratcher

[tombear]

Waiting to pay for more tindercards I noticed another novelty item for a quid at B&M, a telescopic back scratcher. So I indulged myself and when I got home had a good look at it.

The rubber handgrip slides off and the tubes are rather better made than I thought they would be. There's potential here for both a decent toasting fork and a fire blowing tube. The tubes a lot wider than a normal radio ariel / folding pointer and a plug in toasting fork end wouldn't be hard to knock up...

Interesting, must check that out.

How are the tindercards labeled, as in how do I describe them to store staff?

Thank you,

Supaflame Lighting Paper. I supose they'd call them firefighters. The ones here are dumped next to the tools and glues isles.

Here it is stripped down, the tube itself is 21 inches long when extended.

To remove the fork I just had to squeeze the forks neck with the wire cutters on a pair of standard pliers and pull it off.

folded its 6.5" by 10mm dia.

Hi mate,

I posted almost the exact same item on the bushcraft oz forum yesterday only difference was I keep the fork end it is now used to lift the lid off my zebra billy. Handy little item indeed. Strange I came across your post today.
