never mind....one day when you done all your universaty doings ....it will come...it s the best edacation in thw rold....my last tax bill seen to that....old spanners are the best

Yep, you cannae beat an old assortment of tools.
This way you dont feel guilty 'modifying' them for that awkward to reach fastener, or slipping a huuuggge bar over them for a little extra leverage....

Hammer, cold chisel, Mole grips, hacksaw and big file - Surely the only tools any chap requires.

I've heard of your fancy spanners, sockets etc - Take no notice - just marketing gimmicks to help you part with your hard earned cash.

Teng tool are bloody good value for money, £200 you wouldn't get much Snap- on stuff for that,

gjn200 - 9/12/02 at 11:18 PM

Looked at snap-on and facom, but I could not see where the extra money was going too, and besides they dont have a big devil on ther boxes

when you use snap-on you feel the difference but is it realy worth the extra money? probably not but they do some trick specialist bits.

But you've already got a cold chisel! I must admit I,ve only got the hacksaw beacuse I can't resist a new gadget, but it's not really much use for hitting things with.
