Tool deals/ workshop consumables sticky

[Tommy]

Would it be possible (or needed if no one is interested) to have a sticky on here for forum members to post any deals on tools they come across or places/ web sites that are good for buying workshop consumables?

Does anyone know of a good supplier of consumables like grinding discs and gasket sealant etc that you can buy online an be delivered to you? I always forget to buy them when doing the rounds but they arnt important enough to buy specially!

This firm I find good for cutting discs, their atlas range last really well in the 9 inch!

You prefer Toolstation to Sealey? Or maybe never used them.

Only really used Toolstation, isn't Sealey more tools?

We use Toolstation, as the crow flies it is only a few hundred meters from the workshop and on the same estate as a Skrewfix. We find the staff at Toolstation far more helpful so that is why they get our custom.

All the Super 6 welding rods are of Chinese origin, we can supply them to all members of the forum at £8.00 plus vat, however they are not as good as the Bohler electrodes.

Thanks, I thought you might comment on that! those rods are cheap if you can get a half decent weld out of them!

I bought a pack recently and they appear to lay a poorer weld than the higher quality electrodes, I can normally achieve slag peeling behind the rod, no such joy with these rods! You have to beat the sh1t out of the welds to clean slag off, but the welds appear structural.

 

[Welding Supplies Direct]

The welds will be perfectly fine, I do sell lots of them but they are not as easy to run as the better quality ones.

Used these rods a lot there fine once you get used to them. Used them to weld steel piles for a pier and as far as I know the piers still standing, the only thing I found with them ther a bit more fafing about setting the welder and getting your angles right compared to some more expensive rods.
