    I love those things....I nearly bought one off of here (blue) before I got my Alp....local garage advised me against it.....

    With hindsight it couldn't have been more 'Agg' than this Alp....

    If one of these had been sitting in the shop when I got my Alp then I would have got this instead.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
