    And the spaces between the heads, are spanners.

    There's also a bottle opener on it.

    Take a look at this video, to see it in use.

    With it getting dark very early, I got to thinking about how not to stumble around in the dark, when arriving home, so, I've installed one of these, between the Yale lock and the Deadlock on my front door.

    Also, since my stairway light switch is 4 steps up, there's the risk of me tripping up the stairs in the dark, while searching for the switch, so, I've installed one of these, horizontally, on the top of the door frame, on the inside of the door.

    This second lamp has the added advantage that, in the event of me arriving home to a power cut (or even a blown stairway bulb), I'll have enough light to find the battery powered inspection lamp, which resides on the wall behind the front door.
