1. I never imagined you LP as being a petrol head, lumpy cam, V8 guy. Just goes to show how these forums mask our characters. We should start are Who We Are thread.
2. A mate of mine is a mechanic by trade, bought Sidchrome tools when he started 35 years ago but quickly moved across to Snap On and Stahlwille, swears by them. They still look like the day he bought them and trust me they have turned a few nuts and bolts. You do get what you pay for most of the time.
When you work with electronics, computers and high tech all day long like I do, anything mechanical is a great hobby, especially if you hate gardening! The irony is I can tear down and rebuild a car without the manual, and get it working even with parts left over! ;D
But never ask me to make a square cut or drill a straight hole in a piece of timber, that is black magic as far as I'm concerned! :o
