    I was married to Snap On. Until some low life motherfucker ripped off my house. I've been slowly replacing stuff, and then I discovered (after a lot of crap) that there is a brand called Genius, that, while being manufactured in Canada, isn't half bad.

    And for the price of a Snap on Ratchet, I get a Genius set.

    Point is, I got it from Sarge, he's a good bastard, and the shit that he sells is good shit.

    As you were.
    It’s diametrically opposed to the sanitised existence of the Lemmings around me in the Dilbert Cartoon hell I live in; it’s life at full volume, perfect colour with high resolution and 10,000 watts of amplification.

    Re: The sixteen inch front wheel

    Ever given any thought to transplanting a FZR/YZF forks and front wheel on to it?

    When I was with Sulco, Genius quickly became my favourite brand along with Sumake air-tools! I do believe, though that the factory is in Taiwan under the Canadian ownership.

    If anyone was breaking sockets, I'd sell them a Genius one - no more broken socket...

    I didn't know they manufactured for Koken though, I thought Koken was all Japan still. Mind you I've been out of the loop for a bit now.

    Your bike looks fantastic! It's a credit to its owner! If you're passing through Orewa and looking for a coffee, my cell phone is 027-733 7515 text or PM me and I'll let you know if we're home.
    You don't get to be an old dog without learning a few tricks.
    Shorai Powersports batteries are very trick!

    Scoot got a run on Sunday, but she was quite naughty, so she spent Monday in the lockup in case of repeats.



    Okay, I don't give a rats ass where the stuff is made, so far I haven't broken anything, the ratchets are tight and good, and it's all nicely made. I can't justify snap on prices nowadays (since I don't work with my hands anymore), and this stuff is an acceptable second.

    Sarge, I can meet pretty much anytime this week, owe you a beer anyhow.
