Not sold on the rims (edit: or the stripes), but I have a hate of bulk chrome on new cars wheels. Edited 03/04/11 11:26 AM by -SteveR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the name of the club behind Hungry Jacks in Claremont on Stirling Highway? During our very busy night, we just happen to drive past this place and it was pumping. I also might add that there was some mighty fine looking women parading around also........ Clubber goes off on a thursday night. I have been there a few times, have always regretted it at work on the Friday though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irwin that's it. Bought a set of their rounded bolt grip nuts (technical term) that have spiral internals that cut into the stuck bolt. I had to use them on the brake caliper, worked great and I was putting a lot of force into them with the mallet. Actually that was through the Kinchrome ratchet handle as well, hahaha. Inherited lots of tools from the old man including a nice red tool chest to keep them in Got a giant spanner he said was worth a couple hundred by itself. If the zombie apocalype happens in 2012 I'm taking that thing! Gordon Freeman's pipe wrench aint sh!t lol.Remember those multi socket ended things that came with bike puncture repair kits? Made from the crappiest alloy that always caused the head to snap off when you were using them! SOBs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGL stuff is good for home use and will do 99% of the job you'l want too do at homeI used to use sidchrome exclusiliy for my trade toole but once they canned there lifetime warranty i stopped using them.Another option that wil be Slighlty more expensive than CGL and Slightly less expensive than Snap On is Caterpillar Value Line. Basically Proto Tools badged cat. Not the cheapest but excellent value for money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The company i work for puts bulk sales through cov's and we get a fairly hefty discount on most items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xr6t ego Member 1,112 Member For: 17y 9m 2d Gender: Male Location: PERTH WA Posted 04/04/11 02:40 AM Share Posted 04/04/11 02:40 AM Make sure you shop around to Mat. When I receive my tools for my trade allowance, (government gives me money that I have to spend on tools,$1000 this year, even though my work supplies me with my tools) the prices vary so much and you can save a bucket load when making a big purchase. I found that Coventries in Ossy Park gave me the best deal at the end of the day, and the majority of the gear was Sidchrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 145pc set and 3 drawer roll can which I figure is a nice basic kit to build on.When I get the quote back I will let u know Luke. I did ask about trade discount but he reckons when they sell tools in bulk the buyer usually gets trade but can't be too sure u know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
