Kev, you are absolutely right - one lesson I have learnt in life is that the quality remains long after the price is forgotten.

I don't mind spending money on socket sets, etc that I use all the time but it is annoying to have to spend a lot on something that gets used very infrequently. Perhaps the solution is to club together with mates who live close by to get a joint set of good tools?

That’s the dilemma, you do it your self because you enjoy it and to keep the cost down but by the time you have bought every thing you need it ends up costing more than having it fitted, obviously once you’ve got all the tools your laughing it just depends how many times you think you’ll use it to whether you buy one or not.

Are they any good, would you recommend them, the price seems good but as with most thing you usually get what you pay for.

Is rivetting a chain a difficult job, does it have to be perfect or do you run the risk of the link failing and the mayhem that could follow or would you recommend getting one fitted by your usual mechanic.


yes....and i sent it back because it was corroded on 1 side and 1 of the pins was slightly bent. was last year sometime cant remember if it was that seller but it looked the same. i'll see if i can find out
