Tool deals/ workshop consumables sticky

Sounds like it will suit me nicely.

Not sure how well it'd do cranked up artic trailers hence asking.

Actually trying to do the bolt up a touch more then undoing it works well. Cracks it then away

Various model available too - 894, 899, 921, 922. Any thoughts?

Thinking sticking with DeWalt as have a couple of drills with the XR battery already. Will probably try and get a set with a case too.

If anyone is needing a socket set kramp sets seem really good quality. First kramp tools I've bought.

Looks great I just hate those hard brittle plastic moulded trays. They last about a year before they give up. Evo foam is so much better.

Anyone recomend a decent drill bit sharpener please

I know this is oldish but I use a drill doctor..... Pricey enough but what you will save in bits make up for it, also it's a perfect sharpen everytime.

 

[Dave6170]

Anybody know if these are any good?

I've not used any vevor stuff, but did stumble across their website recently. That mag drill is about £50 cheaper than buying thru Amazon.
Might be safer buying thru Amazon tho

Treat to myself for back of motor for when I get those quick jobs that doesn't need ever tool from the workshop in cantilever boxes. screwfix was cheapest I could find at £175 delivered which I thought was decent enough

An impressive array starting at 6 when 5.5 suits M3, then an unused 9 beside a well used 10. 11 fits 7/16 and 12 fits Japcrap. 14 is tight on 9/16, 15 is for bicycles, 17 is tight on 11/16, 18 is for safety belts, 21, 23, 26, 28, 29 remain unused and 25 is not an inch. Bargain?

Would CAT not be imperial? 5/8 and 11/16?

16 and 18’s were the sockets of choice to pull any panels off.

European built Cats all use metric threads as far as i know, but I think USA built cats may still use Imperial threads as on occasions i have used pattern parts that are identical apart from the threads and have had to go hunting for bolts

Used to find 18mm socket was the weapon of choice when it came to replacing plough metal on Dowdeswell ploughs when the boss had bought a whole load of pattern parts back in the 90's. Still come across fixings on ploughs nowadays, I am in a different part of the country now and those deals back then must still be hiding on shelves all around the country!
