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!

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

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

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

A tool and name I found out about from my paternal Grandfather (who used to sell and maintain De Dions among others in Chard)

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