Hi Guys,

One of the chaps on the Westfield forum organises an annual bulk buy of tools. Basically, he collects a shedload of orders (last years total was a shade under 60 grand) and has them shipped over. Once they arrive in Harwich, or wherever, they are ferried around the country by volunteers until they get to those who ordered them.

I wondered if anyone would be interested in this year's order. The following are the items he has proposed:

Set of pliers
set of ring spanners
set of open ended spanners
set of combo (ratchets - same as 2006)
impact wrench (same)
Tool box (larger)
3 sets of socket sets (1/4" 3/8" and 1/2")
set of hammers
set of screwdrivers
set of axle stand
set of wheel dollys
engine crane
large capacity compressor
large lathe (like the machine mart item)
MiG welder
set of torque wrenches
lead lights
air tools (1/4", 3/8", 1/4" guns, air riveter, angle grinder, right angle drill)
Dremel type tool
an assortment of sundries like allen keys, punches bearing pullers etc.
Sand blaster
bench grinder
electric drill
bench drill

I had a set of ratchet spanners from the last lot and I'm very happy with them.

I'll keep you updated with progress.

Intresting read on the original link - particularly that China now owns half the US Dollars in circulation  

but yes i may well be intrested in some of that gear - seems good price and some good feedback

Ow, a lathe.....and a pillar drill......sand blaster cabinet would be useful!

My thoughts exactly ... and a welder, and a compressor... engine cranes are useful - ask Ronnie... Now, where's my cheque book  

I'll keep you posted as there seems to be some interest. I think the next step is that he's hoping to get a web site up and start taking some firmer orders this month sometime for confirmation & payment around September and delivery by Christmas.

I want one too -  is it this one? but where would I put it? The dining room would be out of the question I think!

An update on this...

Some pictures and prices here: http://www.theoldcross.biz/9.html

Prices are a little higher than hoped but he's still trying to beat them down.
