More new tools :) well 2nd hand but the belt sander and pipe flare kit never used. Caliper kit was used for many years and is excellent quality and the eezibleed just once.
Got the lot for 60£ and 80 belts for the sander, fella got to old for working at cars and sold the heap.
Probably get the Ryobi jigsaw shortly as I've started doing all the flooring. Have a 6AH battery coming too, can never have enough batteries lol
I always found the cheap brake flaring kits no good. Maybe it was just the way I was using it, but I found it tend to favour one side more than the other, meaning I had to reverse the tool and recrimp.

I ended up getting a Snap On one and did not have this issue afterwards.

Just bought an electric parts washer, should be here midweek :)
Will be handy for when it comes to do the rear brakes and cleaning bits up.

Sorry to hear that didn't work out. Are you going to pick one up from somewhere else?

I have never heard of that washer stuff before. I couldn't get a straight answer when I was researching what to fill the parts washer with. You had the old lads with the usual "throw a gallon of parrifin in with 5 gallons of diesel and take a piss in it and stir it" followed by the Gretta T'burgs with the "fill it with water and a splash of organic lemon juice" oh and all the Americans with the "simply go to [insert name of shop that doesn't exist here] and buy a 75,000 quart container of space-age mega wash for $5"

I must have read about what to fill your parts washer with for days and still didn't know what to get.

picked this up earlier, mini 1/4 drive ratchet with a bit drive at the other end :)
Wasn't cheap but will be very handy for the tight spaces in the Caldinas engine bay.
Siegen tools are made by Sealey :)

Toyed about with plastic and metal muck for years. Mounted a few big OSB boards instead and haven't looked back.
