Title: My tools are all over the place so......
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 03 April 2018, 15:54:37
I've invested 100 notes in this.

It gets good reviews. What's the worst that can happen? :)

Not bad, interested to see what build quality is like and if it falls apart in a few days.  :)

It's hardly likely to fall apart, his tools are just for show.  ;D

Nice! Now you have to get some tools and learn how to use them!  :)

 You may have a point. The mighty Signum is so well built and reliable I doubt I'll need many tools. The Titty X and a BMW from the Victorian period  on the other hand....... 8) :o

I thought you have an ancient Corsa that you don't know how to fit the windscreen wipers.  :-\

The wiper spindles had seized solid so I took the mechanism off the car and hit it with a large 'manipulating implement' :)

Once apart I used liberal amounts of LM grease and now the whole mechanism runs like an expensive Swiss watch. :)

I was also looking at those boxes on SGS site over the weekend. Only problem I have is a lack of space in the shed to put one.
They have a 10 year warranty, so quality should be reasonable, hopefully ?

As much as I like shiny things, I think I might have enough of that sort of storage ::)

I currently don't have any, apart from some of those blue plastic trays they use to deliver stuff (milk ?) for loose tools which reside on shelves in the shed. Socket sets etc, live in their carry cases, also on the shelves.
Might think about rearranging the shed to accommodate a nice shiny thing.
This is not as simple as it sounds, as a lot of the shite in the shed belongs to swmbo. And to complicate matter further, she bought the shed in the first place.  ::) ;D

My shed is a 10x8 plastic one, with a 2'6" section not fitted. And its filled to neck height with her shite!!

But I usually have a garage :)

I was sooo nearly tempted to get it but swmbo suggested we refit the kitchen and have it in there as work top :D

I will wait till we do the kitchen proper, then have it for where its meant to be in my garage!!

Worse than that, a whole box of Desperados  :o

Unless TB has a teenage daughter of course. In which case it’s most appropriate.

The torch on the washing machine? Wow, that would hurt even more than the aftermath of a Naga.


As for the Persil, its shows I am in touch with my feminine side, allowing her to clutter up the place with her stuff.

I just ordered one too. Its black and shiny. Couldn't resist.  :)

It arrived less than 24 hours after ordering. I must say, for £100, its a superb bit of kit.  :)

Yes.....there was a f*uck up with the delivery of mine taking almost a week instead of next day delivery.

It arrived a few days ago .

I agree. For a hundred notes delivered it's impressive. Finished in a nice glossy black it looks more expensive than it is and holds all my tools. :y
