Anyone know anything about this vintage underpinner?

Post by SvenSvenson »

I’ve literally just picked this up from Facebook marketplace and I wondered if anyone knew anything about it?

Looks like a Kimberley.

Very well made, magnetic 'shelf' where you put one V nail at a time. There are various models around, I have one similar - very good for low volume work

Thanks Jeremy.

There was an identifying name on it but it turned out to be the maker of the clamp, rather than the underpinner.

I only paid £25 for it and it’s far too nice a bit of kit to get rid of so I’ll probably keep it for jobs where my floor-mounted one won’t do.

Regards,

Steve
