Title: Machine Mart & Sods Law
Post by: Jimbob on 10 October 2008, 18:58:18
Waited ages & ages & ages & ages for a VAT free day at the local machine mart.

My Garage NEEDED tidying, and a new tool box was integral to this, so finally gave in a week or so ago and shelled out for one.

And now my VAT free invite arrives, sodding typical!

I know its not a huge saving, but its the principal  ;D



hmmmm, now what else do I need  ;D

the moral of this story is pick the jack you think is big enough....then go up a couple in the range  ;D

Amazingly, despite its age, it doesn't lose oil and stays at the height you asked it to. It even came with another set of seals.  :y

D'oh! I got one a couple of days ago. Now, what did I do with it? Can't remember what I wanted but I'm sure if I turned up I'd manage to find some toys. :D
