Bruce, I took note of the smart welded washer. Good one!

I think the Yorkshire prodler is basically a small podger used for more delicate jobs.
This thread could have come from the excellent book by R T Nicholson  on the Austin Seven.  I am sure he warns somewhere of the dangers of dickering with a podger, especially doing it at the scullery sink when the little woman is out!

[Steve Jones]

Definitely Podger in Yorkshire. Used, among other things, for lining up the holes at the joints in railway lines.  Used to be a pub in Garforth called 'The Podger' that had a picture of a large spanner with a pointy end (ie: a Podger) on the pub sign outside. Pub's still there but it's now called something that more people understand!!

Seems the pub's got its old name back although not its old sign

You could always hang out at the John Thomas instead!

Used podgers for lining up bolt holes when building Harvestore silos in Australia - essential equipment.

[Tony Press]

Colloquially know as  bodgers I believe!

No, it's a podger. Using one does not denote a bodge.

The Bell Hagg Inn was a favourite of my wife and I, before she was Mrs P and when we were still youngsters.
