Me !!

for snapping the Key in one of the Site boxes just as I shot down to put my drill away, I snapped the Key on of the Locks as soon as I turned it over ,don't even know how it happened tbh as I didn't put any pressure on the Key if anything I probably turned it too Quick as I was the last man down so rushed to get my Drill away ,Anyways it's gonna be fun & Games tomorrow Morning trying to get the Site box open Hopefully we can get the Key out cause I don't fancy seeing a (- sign on next weeks invoice) & I will just shoot into town at Dinner & get another key Made ( it's a Yale key type lock so not as bad as it would be with a Mortice key lock).

Well done, good luck getting the key out, fine tweezers and a pair of pliers to hold the tweezers!
If you can a very powerful neodymium magnet sometimes works, if the key isn't bent.

 

[john25]

The Key isn't bent you can still turn the lock with it ,Just getting it out will be the Problem grr

 

[john25]

Well we couldn't get The Key out so my boss spent all Morning trying to Drill the other lock out but to no Avail so he had one of the Lads take it in the Van upto a Locksmith who had it open in in minutes cost 54 quid which I offered to Pay but the Fella was sound about it.

Well found out yesterday that after first fixing a kitchen I had drilled through into next door for the rawl plugs. When the drill just sank into the wall thought i'd gone into the cavity, turns out its a single skin wall.

 

[Tidy Max]

Noway!! Mark up your drill bits!

 

[oldtimer]

I prided myself of never putting my foot through a ceiling and ended up doing it in my own house only problem it was in my bedroom and even although I got it fixed everytime i lay in my bed I could see the outline lol

 

[Silly Sausage]

I chipboarded my kitchen floor once.
Jumping up and down on it to test how strong it was...you can guess the rest.
That was painful!

 

[Kamikaze]

Don't you just hate it when you get your willy stuck in the microwave.

 

[Hants-Spark]

I took an apprentice into the loft and made a point of saying not to go through the ceiling, typical I took one step, slipped and through I went

You haven’t proved yourself as a spark until you knocked through a hole the size of a serving hatch between a kitchen and hallway in a clients property while chasing out a back box. :yes:
