I take it that the scaffold is a tube and clip type.

WD40 and a long handled spanner, angle grinder as a back up...

Hi Folks,

When I worked off shore on the Oil Rigs we used to strike some seriously rusty scaffolding's (the worst even being done with a hammer)but there are spanners that have 18 inch handles as apposed to the 9 inch.

I did try to source them but can not find them.

My advice would be to call Rigblast, Cape in Aberdeen and ask them, they do buy a lot of them and they do work although you do have to oil them the day previous.

Email me direct if you get stuck
