    Thanks Benn

    The toolbox is probably the most useful thing u can have in the garage. I used to run around the garage, into drawers and shadow boards to get tools. But no longer. I couldn't recommend 1 of these more for the money.

    Yup, one of the best investments i made, bar my really heavy duty stuff, the majority of my tooling is Halfords pro, never ever had a problem with it.

    Just ordered the lifters Dan.

    It should finish the adjusters off nicely.

    I'm the same Craig

    Most of the tools in the box are halfords professional range and more than upto the job for me. I'd like the usual snapon and the likes but I only need/use mine as a hobby, so can't justify the price of the snapon stuff. Besides I'd rather spend it on the bike :)

    Got to say mate with a garage like yours I wouldn't expect anything less than the best mate :) If it wasn't my dads garage I was using I would have mines as nice and kitted out as yours. Only thing is that I'd never be out of it.

    It looks so much better with the lifters on it.

    I'll need to make up some adapters for my paddock stand to lift the bike though.

    I seen the adapters but I'll just get them made at work out of solid stainless. No point in buying them if I can make them :)

    Are those new styled Gilles adjusters? Certainly look different to mine,

    Yup .. the newer style . They had to increase the strength of the adjusters as some of the more powerfull bikes were breaking the older version

    Coolio. Mine are just for show. I just use the R&G lifters to hold the bike (or an ABBA stand if needed)

    They look good.
