Well that's 2-0 to me, they come in a pair and are used for hanging up your waders or boots, to air them. I used to be a ghillie before retirement and used these every day. You can imagine the smell of rubber footed waders when you are in them 6 days a week.

Use to wear them when I was fishing but last pair had to be cut off my calf because it swelled up to much and I got a blood clot now I am not allowed to wear again so have fun but be very careful .

[Martin_E]

I can’t remember if the label in the Electrolux gives the power and wattage, the later Dometic fridges do

Winch cable cutter for emergency for overweight offshore coworkers

No I wouldn't let them on, esp BIG Americans, 250 lbs ( almost 18 stone) they get put on a boat. . Due to the fact they would not get out of the emergency exit windows

Yes for when freight drops from aircraft, pulls the next fright drop towards the end of the aircraft. Not sure if it is the same for Parachute drops.
Any ex Paras could confirm.
