    ...auction on a well-known site: -

    2 TOOLS FOR TILLEY LAMP | eBay

    Neither are Tilley tools - the blue one looks like an ordinary strap-wrench and is probably too large to remove a Tilley pump (which shouldn't need a strap-wrench to undo anyway - unless a strap-wrench has been used to tighten it up!). The orange tool looks like a pair of wire strippers to me.

    I'll have a pint of what she's been drinking... :whistle: ](*,)

    Of course both are highly sophisticated Pressure Lamp Tools, the one on the right is for cutting off the strings of the mantle and the one on the left is used to unscrew the lid of the meths jar for dunking the pre heating torch. A real bargain...

    Now popping off...

    After your approval I should think about asking for the overseas shipping quotes before anyone else... :-k :lol:
