Ditto. My thoughts exactly!!

Far to many open ended spanners for my liking, I hope you don't mind parting with your knuckles? lol

[Mini-Mad-Craig]

Wickes ! Yup thats how we do it

[James182]

The open ended spanners were given to me by my aunty whos dad worked for rolls royce, and when he died, her mum gave me a set of snap on tools that were given to all the employees. since then ive been building them up! you can see the red tool box at the bottom of the chest..behind the beige sewing box


If you want to borrow stuff come on down, but ill have to take non-returnable deposits mind......even though im 16 im not stoopid.......

ive got a 9 draw tool box.

But i have 2 other boxes which include loads of specialist tools which dont fit in the box.
Like cone compressor, clutch oil seal fitter and removal tool, helicoil kit, digital gas tester, colourtune, balljoint sockets, flywheel puller, flywheel locking tool, valve guide thingy me dooo dar.


Ive still got alot of my cheaper sockets etc, but they still doing the job. I like to replace them with better ones when i can mind.
