Jim 1 Posted December 25, 2006 Merry Christmas folks! Well it turns out my Corrado did get some presents in the end. My folks went a bit beserk and bought me lots of stuff to get me started with some tools finally. My dad went to Machine Mart and picked up: * Tool Chest with 3 sliding drawers * Ring spanner set * Socket set * Allen key set * Huge torque wrench * Irwin bolt grippers (invaluable on an old Rado!) I can't even remeber the rest of it but it does mean now that I have no excuse and have a whole load of tools to finally do some work on the car! Just need to pluck up the courage now to tackle it ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted December 25, 2006 Sounds like you had a good result Jim, so many jobs are much easier when you have some decent and correct tools Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 1 Posted December 25, 2006 Yeah they all seem to be really nice quality. TBH I don't know what constitutes good and bad in the tool world but its all Clarke stuff and most of it has a life time warranty. The torque wrench is huge and feels incredibly well made so.. look forward to using some of it now! Could do with a trolley jack and some axel stands though before I start doing anything on it..

Andy665 0 Posted December 25, 2006 I've been building a tool collection for a couple of years now - if nothing else it gives you the confidence to tackle jobs. The Irwin bolt grippers are superb, helped me out on countless occassions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

corozin 0 Posted December 31, 2006 I treated mine to what it likes doing best... a full tank of fuel and a record breaking run home to Bournemouth from my brother's place in Milton Keynes on Xmas night. Distance = 134 miles Time = 1h 36m Do the math... :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scarlet_vr6 0 Posted January 2, 2007 mine's got a new tensioner since I broke down on the way home after Christmas. Took about 5 hrs to get home instead of 1 but it saved me plenty of petrol :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
