Tool dealers - can any one offer a deal on a decent tool kit ?

Carbon749 · 29-Dec-2005, 01:11

Hi,

Looking to buy a decent tool chest and set of tools. I think it's time to retire the 20 year old socket set

Is there anyone out there that could offer me a deal / discount on a suitable set. I'd rather spend some money with a DSC member than a stranger in a shop.

This is the type of thing I'm looking for, but open to suggestions ...

My Company does teng, draper etc. I just fix the computers so cant say what discounts etc you would get, but will have a word with the boss and see......

Will let you know, U2U me any preferences, budget etc might help the situation

Spoke to the boss and he will definately give you a discount

There is also a good deal on for that set that you posted a pic of but in a ltd edition black finish, looks the dogs and will go with your bike

Let me know what your after, if there is more interest i could see about a full discount list for DSC members

Like you I upgraded old kit not long ago. I checked-out Teng, Snap-On etc; by miles the best value was Halfords Pro. Excellent quality, a huge range and sensibly comprised sets if you dont want to buy all seperate bits. I'ved added odd sockets etc as needed for jobs since, and everything is brilliant.

I've got a 100pc set by Crescent, lifetime guarantee excellent set think its about 30-40 squid, also got a gorilla rack chest very similar to your pic but like a grey mottled effect for about 70.. they're from Costco, last time i was in there they still had it.

I use them on my ss and two cars and never had a problem.

Live round the corner from one if your interested i can have a look

Hi Mucka, I will ask my lucky friend.. I think is a special edition made by USAG for Ducati corse.. was a present from his brother in law (I guess seriousily really happy that my friend married his sister!!

) who works in the tools sector. Don't think is available on the market and price is not known.. I'll find out.
