Looks nice but the idea is to have it compact enough to be able to carry it around easily, if I need nut spinners I use a socket set, remember sparks are eligible for a Halfords trade card.
Wouldn't lend that to anyone, even my Bestie, and he's not a Plumber.
 
....Alright,if you need an example of dedicated excess...here is my "handy" Wiha driver roll. The picture shows them to be similar,but the third roll in the fore-ground,is System 4,4mm,and the other two System 6.
It has 000 to 3,pozi,philips,torx,allen,ball,etc,and adjustable length blades.

It was a lump of brass,to assemble,and don't try to buy the triple roll - you can't - we made it out of three,on an 1890's Singer,which can sew leather :cool:

It was made as an carry set,and fits in a large,side pocket,then unrolls and hangs,either way,from a hook or magnet. If i had a pound,every time someone sees it unrolled,and says "Blimey!...that's cool....where did you get that?..." i could build another!

It's the kind of set which you just have handy...and can stick anywhere....only i don't feel like doing that,coz it cost a fortune ;)

If you know anyone who's relatives have just died, you'll soon see an influx of all sorts of tools. A friends father died about a month ago and I was asked to just take anything I wanted/would find useful. I got an electric staple gun that does small tacks, as well as staples. If I ever get around to it, great for re-upholstery! Not to mention a set of screwdrivers, and a whole Bosch drill and screwdriver bit set that looks like it's never been used!

My elderly neighbour is always trying to pass off bits and pieces to me out of her garage. Her late husband was an electrician but she cleared out most of his stuff years ago.
Was repairing one of the kids bikes in the tenfoot last weekend and she walked past and caught wind we were after a machine screw. She came back a couple of minutes later with a box full of hundreds of old ones. All imperial :hearteyes:
 
Oh and PEG, do you know how to use them?

Now that's the kind of disparaging,bullying-in-the-workplace talk,that could cause a shy,retiring and un-confident youth,such as myself,to give it all up....and pursue an alternative career,in kite-surfing...

....orrrr....you could have a point ;)

Whilst dismantling an old barn,at a farm,due for redevelopment,the old dear who had sold it,asked me to help her load some boxes....she was actually a real character.....anywho,she said there were some bits i could have:cool:

The day we loaded up,to leave,she gave me a handful of Snap-on flare-nut spanners,a copper's helmet,and a four-spring teak handled chest expander;)

That was 35 years ago,and i still have all of them:sleepy:

Wonderful that she even knows what a machine screw is, cos i don't. :grimacing:
 
A bolt threaded to the head usually, but I think she my have the hots for a "young" PEG, nudge nudge wink wink...........
Peg is a Manc. he can have seconds after a Scouser has done. :p:p
 
Its a good set, my reservations with those is that should you scrog a blade (you know, if you lend a plumber your #2 POZI and he uses it on a Philips screw) do you need to buy a new set.
Unless they do spare replacement blades?
They do blades individually, not just replacements, but supplements also
 
screwdrivers, it seems the answer to that question is yep you do......... this is just "some" of the ones I have,

You could have gone for the tool tart version of the Wera kit. It's a bit nice.


Have them myself,spares are available, the gas cabinet key is always handy.

I've looked at that set, nice idea but you already have most (save the Joker spanner), I'm eyeing up the VDE socket set just because but the price is -------- torsion inducing
 
The Wera allen key sets (standard and long),are really good:cool:

Got the lot,Torx included....had to search a bit for the imperial set,which came in a nice wallet,but i liked the rubber hinged holder...so....

I ordered another rubber holder,and re-engineered the holes,so the imperial set,fitted ;)

This is what happens,when you don't have drink,football and ----,as distractions :D:D:D
 
Why was my post deleted, I am the thread starter so I own it, censorship over zealousness WTF is going on, its bad enough having to put up with all the targeted adds FFS as that is why I post up on here less and less, if it isn't reinstated then please delete my account and all my data photos posts etc etc under the right to be forgotten rulings, lets play havoc with your databases.
 
You can never have too many tools, or at least that's what I keep telling SWMBO :rolleyes:
A few years ago I saw a listing on eBay for "a load of spanners". It went on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and ... you get the idea ... with photos. Drawer after draw full of nice looking snap-on spanners and the tool chests they were in. Some of the spanner styles I'd never heard of before !
Seller's story was that he'd been an F1 mechanic but now had no need for them and needed to clear out the garage as part of a downsize. The lot went for £30k+ which was a real bargain as I'd done a very quick count and guestimated that there was heading on for £100k (or more) worth of spanners there if you went to buy them new from Snap-on :eek:

Don't forget to shut the door.
