    Wink My toys, and the bargain I scored today. Pictures aplenty!

    I had to go to Pakenham bunnies today for some odds n ends for work
    While I was there I spent some time browsing the tools area and I spied this, Marked down from its original price of $189 to $62
    It was to good to pass up


    So tonight when I got home I dragged all the tools out of my ute a took a few family snaps.

    This is my garage



    My half finished workshop


    And a whole bunch of red and black goodies, etc









    Just thought I'd share

    Glad to see you have two of the 'Jaws'. I do not believe you would be able to clamp a door in one as per the picture on the box and not have it topple over.

    Your not a salesman for tools are you? Lots of goodies, not used!

    Default Top Score - Well Done!!

    Top Score "iBloke"- Well Done!!
    You & I have similar taste in tool brands as you have bought what I have.
    The Milwaukee M18 cordless tools a great; keep & eye out for a couple of extra batteries to help manage the tools usage.
    [I bought a couple off ebay locally and another 4 from ToolKing in the USA; both good].
    The Bosch 10.8v Multitool is another top tool though the blades can be pricey and I'd love extra batteries for it.
    I have 2 Dremels and they're great for toymaking.
    I have an older Triton Super jaws and have found it very useful.
    Enjoy setting up your workshop and filling those enormous sheds.
    Looking forward to the shed workshop photos.
    Cheers, crowie

    Most purchased in the last 3 months. Definitely NOT a salesman. One of my jobs is being hired by a community college as a maintenance bloke for 6 campuses. I need a lot of different tools for a lot of different jobs.

    Yeah I've only got 4 x M18 and 2 x M12 batteries to share between all the tools. It's a bit of a PIA swapping them around sometimes, but at least they are seeing plenty of use.

    As far as setting up my workshop I've gathered lotsa good ideas here. I haven't been a member here long, but I'm a long term lurker. There are some incredibly talented people here!

    Cheers
