    A beer bottle opener ...seriously, you need to take a step back now and again, re-look at that wiring diagram, chew the fat with knowledgeable mates about the problem on hand over a beer ( can't do that with wine).

    Anyhoo don't forget to add to calendar 19th May, 27th July, and 31 August.

    heck it'd be a fair way to start a home kit. Much better than the Stanley kit offered alongside in same sale. Stanley sure isn't what it used to be as a brand.

    Must be a local thing as after reading your post I heve been to both the local M10 and no such special was on offer. Which is a right pain in the arse as i am in need of some new tools for my race kit.

    For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

    I called in to Lower Hutt M10 yesterday to pick up another one and the price there was $190 odd. I bought one anyway.

    I still think that is worth it, I payed $240 for my set about 4yrs ago and I am very happy with it.

    I agree. My old set was getting slightly grubby...

    Strange, I happened to be in the Lower hutt branch at lunch today & they had moved them from the entry to the normal place & 81 piece was $158.

    Would be better if totally metric but there you go, a good deal I'd snatch if I wasn't scratching for a few other things currently.

    They are super good at returning things if one changes one's mind. I got a difference refund on a trampoline 3 weeks after I bought it as it went down in price $100. Best check it is the same kit, there may be many types that are similar.

    Crumbs I sound like a salesperson but supercheap have deal on compressor for $ 120 with free airline. 20l tank. Must buy one, no idea on this brand but I've had 3 only killed 1 by being silly. 20 l isn't big enough to spray but will do most else.

    Bought myself a 20 piece Teng socket set today for $90, usually $180.
    Good quality tools by the look of them too, never had Teng before but heard some good stuff about them. Will be a good size to go in my daypack.

    Well here we go. Bunnings were selling Baeco socket sets. So I succumbed. 38 peice metric in my favored 1/2" 6 sided for $60. Crazy.

    People say that 1/2" is too big but they don't understand leverage.

    Sounds like a good deal.

    Yeah a friend had txtd me, I explained I didn't have any spare but she told me the price &, well I couldn't resist inventing a reason to take the kids out & then had to return with one. Will be ideal to take to the races so I don't have to load my garage set loosely into a toolbox. Time will tell if the end up becoming my garage set, but I love my old set.

    I might take out the queer sizes & put tape on them or something & glue them back in the kit. I can always wrench them out if I get the call to work on some bogus Italian bike & that will be my penance, but at least at a glance I can see what is missing & am not always reaching for the 11mm by mistake.

    all my 13s spanners & sockets have black heatshrink or tape. I keep a blue 15 for the one odd bolt on me GasGas shock linkage.
