There a good box them mate most of them are pretty good these days if they are in a workshop. It's when they are in a van that does them no good at all. I'm lucky to still have my snap on stuff from when I was on the spanners full time as a job (agricultural mechanic) so I'm got too much stuff now but will never sell as can always fall back on it.

It's not moving from the shed corner lol, thinking about a middle box with 3 more drawers now. I didn't realise I had THAT many screwdrivers :oops:

I fancy going to SGS Engineering for one of their toolchests.

It's on my To Buy list. But if I'm honest, I don't do much spanner work these days, just can't be bothered. If it's broke, it tends to just sit there broken.

Wtf is it with sideways pic ? Grr
Anyhow, picked that up a couple of hours ago for 30 quid :) 6ft tall, metre wide and 400mm deep I think.
Get some shelving knocked up soon as it was a file rack setup inside like the smaller filing cabinets.
If anyone can spot what's wrong apart from the sideways pic I will send them a signed picture of myself in a pose of there choice :)

Cordless Ryobi grinder with 4AH battery and charger added to the chest, Halfrauds is the cheapest place for Ryobi stuff these days which makes a nice change from them feeling you up every time lol

Picked this up from Halfords earlier :) comes with 3 sockets and a hex driver attachment, 2ah battery and an inteliport charger. Bonus free tool aswell so I've ordered a palm sander :)
Got this to replace my Sealey wrench, nothing wrong with the wrench itself just a fucked battery but good excuse to upgrade lmfao
Also not pictured is the Halfords advanced impact socket set I grabbed too in the bundle deal :)
The Ryobi Percussion drill I bought in February impressed me that much I'm changing all my power tools to Ryobi cordless, I've plenty of batteries and chargers now so just need the bare tools which is handy.

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

Picked the Jigsaw and Circular saw up a few weeks back, both excellent and they rip through all sorts of wood like mad :)
Got the sds set earlier in Screwfix for 65£, same price as the set with only 7 bits, that's 22 piece plus a chuck.
Used the same drill flat out for trenches in concrete for the gas installation so I know it's up to the Job, what Job will that be tho lol :)
 
we have to hold an intervention for you skiny...no more tool purchases...lol
heck, we might as well undertake Jay's intervention the same time regarding part/auction purchases....lol

its great the tools are performing as required, you never know what odd jobs will turn up and its good when you can do stuff yourself,,,save plenty $$$

Brand new 2000W electric chainsaw because I got a trailer full off big ass logs yesterday lmfao
Traded 3.5 20L drums of heating oil for it :)
Also brand new AEG sds drill/hammer half the size off the above 1 so that will do me for masonary and keep the Ryobi drill good.

You be bloody careful with that - one slip and whatever you hit is gone :oops:
Definitely the most dangerous tool i have now I'd say Bro lol
I made a make shift log channel from block earlier until I can get a proper log stand/clamp thing. 1st thought after a few cuts, fuck me that's nasty. 2nd thought, fuck me where's my steel toe caps trainers are a bit unsafe loool
