Norbar Torque Tools' Industrial Torque Wrenches are robust enough to go anywhere and cope with the toughest of tasks, but having to pose for a nude calendar most go beyond the call of duty.
Norbar Torque Tools' Industrial Torque Wrenches are robust enough to go anywhere and cope with the toughest of tasks, but having to pose for a nude calendar most go beyond the call of duty - especially in December.
It was after all in a good cause, as the calendar has been put together by residents of the Scilly Isles to raise money for a much needed new sports centre.
The Norbar 5R wrench makes a guest appearance in the month of April, along with a blushing vintage bus and a handful of other Scilly islanders, including Tina Hayes, stewardess of the golf club, prone on the bonnet.
Spring is, of course, the ideal time to get down to some routine maintenance, and a Norbar wrench is the ideal way to make sure the nuts are tight.
The Scilly Isles, located 28 miles off the coast of Cornwall, are home to just 2000 residents, and while tourists throng the islands in the summer, there is little to do in winter.
Except pose naked for a calendar, of course.
