I admit, I have a workshop tool addiction :-)

Always wanted that set. I've tried googling in the past to see if its available as another brand, but no luck.
Good deal at £140.
They had it on special about 2 yrs ago at I think £160 and for some reason I missed it. Couldn't get anywhere near that price the last time I tried.
ive been collecting, aka buying, taps and dies for the last 20 years, i dont think ill get the lot before i die tbh but for the more standard sizes like what holwell got they can be picked up on the bay for handy money times if your not in a panic, skf, dormer, golliath, presto and so on, good quality taps.
tap handles arent dear either, not for the older quality your getting.
if you took your time 140 quid id buy a right lot of it.

Blowing through 20mm without a starter hole.
Anyone know a decent set for cutting straight and circles?
trafimet do circle cutting kits, have3 one here, its a good enough bit of kit, not much out there in them.
for straight lines i have a drag tip on my torch, i just use a bit of straight bar 30x3 or such.
the roller head on the kit will follow a straight line either.
there is different kits for different torches iirc so have a google.

Having said in TAW (#58173) we should have a "self help group" for those of us with a serious workshop tool coveting habit I thought I'd start this thread.

My workshop may only be 15 feet square but it doesn't mean I don't hanker after:

A much bigger press
A box and pan brake
A rolling press
A bigger plasma cutter
More 3/4" drive sockets
1" drive sockets
An induction heater
Etc, etc.

There, I've admitted what @Mrs Holwell had said for years, I'm a tool addict. :D

Does anyone else share my secret? What tools are on your wish list? :)

Already ordered a wheelie thingy for the tip. Honestly I've been pondering on a router :D.
Let's keep dreaming shall we.
