Ugg10 - 26/12/14 at 10:44 AM

A new set of decent socket wrenches ( 1/2", 1/2", 3/8" ) and long reach metric sockets plus a magnetic inspection light.

Well happy :-)

I got a Dewalt 18v Li-ion 4.0Ah drill driver which I wasn't expecting!
Very pleased!

IanSouthLincs - 26/12/14 at 01:19 PM

Draper ratchet terminal crimper and a sealey auto wire stripper, well pleased she got it right :-) Re-wire here we come!

SteveWallace - 26/12/14 at 02:40 PM

Bosch angry grinder. Only trouble is that having read the horror stories on here, I'm too scared to use it

rusty nuts - 26/12/14 at 02:48 PM

A nice set of decent wood chisels and a Trend sharpening system to go with them. Mind you I've also got a list of jobs to do as well

Dick Axtell - 26/12/14 at 03:35 PM

Gotta electric file, v highly recommended by a welder I know, who won't work without one.

However, I have been scheduled to fit new garage doors, sometime in the new year

Harbour freight tube notcher
And I bought myself the 120 piece halford socket set that was deal of the day the other day. 60 quid

robinj66 - 26/12/14 at 10:43 PM

Bearing pullers, auto wire strippers and a set of ratchet spanners.

Also a set of valve stem oil seals for my RV8

bi22le - 26/12/14 at 11:26 PM

About 200 quid towards what everi want. I'll be going for one of those halfords advance sets when the new year sales kick in.

Trollyjack - 26/12/14 at 11:47 PM

The first sprints of the year are in March, North Weald, Rockingham and others...

daniel mason - 27/12/14 at 10:35 AM

Pm sent Andy. Blyton park on 13th March with frank and pplc guys! First ever time in a proper single seat racer for me!

Furyous - 4/1/15 at 08:21 PM

I got THESE tools.

They're about as useful as a chocolate teapot!

ReMan - 4/1/15 at 08:29 PM

Reciprocating saw for me.
Just tried it on a bit of scarp wood and it seems OK, ever so slightly less scary that the chainsaw

scutter - 4/1/15 at 10:23 PM

£90 of Halfords vouchers, shame as I asked if it was possible for them to get me an Alloy trolley jack, which Halfords don't sell. Popped into a store after Boxing day for 10 min and couldn't see anything I need!

ATB Dan.

SteveWalker - 4/1/15 at 10:29 PM

I suppose it counts as a tool - an original 50s rotary dial phone, modified for modern exchanges.

dubzter - 5/1/15 at 01:38 PM

Got a cracking trolley jack and pair of axle stands

I have a B&D powerfile, I always thought them as a 'nice to have' but it's turned out so useful I wouldn't be without it now. Putting a fishmouth into 19mm tube was so easy with the powerfile. And they clean up welds so much better than a flap disc on a grinder.

James - 5/1/15 at 06:21 PM

Makita sliding mitre saw

Haven't used it properly yet but looking forward to when I do!
