REMOVE STUFF EASILY

Introducing the latest innovative solution from Laser Tools: these cable tie removal pliers (part number 8783), are designed for the safe and precise removal of nylon cable ties without causing damage to surrounding components or bundled wires.

Ideal for mechanics, electricians, auto-electricians, and practical DIY enthusiasts.

CHANGING PLACES AT THE BRITISH MOTOR MUSEUM

The British Motor Museum is delighted to have been awarded funding for a new Changing Places toilet, a partnership between the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities (DLUHC) and Muscular Dystrophy UK in association with Stratford-on-Avon District Council.

Changing Places toilets are designed for people who are unable to use standard accessible toilets and include equipment such as hoists, privacy screens, adult-sized changing benches and space for carers. The installation of this facility will further enhance the Museum’s accessibility, helping to open up the extensive vehicle collections to those who may not previously have been able to visit.
