These hangers are perfectly safe if applied correctly. It is important that the disc is pressed down firmly and for a sufficient length of time so that the Disc shows no tendency to rise from the plate.

I don't really like the idea of trapping small creatures in such a vicious way...but I do love the design of the objects people make to do it.
This Metal trap has a very cheap stamped out design. Even the "cheese" holder is a triangle cut from the base and bent out.

THE BRITISH BUTTNER PIPE REAMER
This Pipe Reamer is manufactured from specially selected Sheffield Steel and the blades are hardened to prevent damage and to give maximum efficiency. The Edge cutters are hollow ground and the Reamer is completely rust proof and the cutters guaranteed not to chip in use.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT USE
1. The Reamer must be at its minimum when inserted into the bowl.
2. The Reamer must be inserted at an angle of 90" and maintained at such an angle.
3. Rotate the Reamer in both directions until the blades are cutting smoothly into the carbon wall, using light firm pressure.
4. Continue until the desired thickness of carbon wall is obtained.
5. Great care must be taken where the carbon deposit is lumpy .the Reamer must not be forced but gently rotated in both directions until the lumps are removed.

Do not allow your pipe to become so badly carboned as to prevent insertion of the reamer into the bowl.

Remember that an excessively carboned pipe in brittle and must therefore be reamed with due care.
Made In Great Britain
