Hi Guys Thanks for the advice on basic tool kit,that's my xmas list complete, sit back and wait for crimbo morning (said with rubbing hands)
Just got the weekly Lidl catalogue through & as of tomorrow they have a 94 piece socket set for £38. Also a six piece screwdriver set for a fiver! No-one tell Bats....
Thanks Ray Just checked it out online, seems deal is not starting here in numpty land till monday so before everyone dashes off to lidl it might be worth checking out your area first
Just a Quicky I want to get some lockwire pliers, they range from £15 cheap ones to I think £150+ for snap on which for me is too much. I would like a good quality pair that will last me Any recommendations on make and link to where to get them? I found these http://www.worksracing.co.uk/store/king_dick_lockwire_pliers.php
I intend to learn how to use them on the bike, starting from grips etc... Why are the second ones that expensive and would they be better than the cheaper pair? Just quality made?
Can't have anti locked wire locking it's a hanging offence lol Also you don't need wire locking pliers really just some good snub nose to finish and hold at the final bolt. Years of wire locking sea king helicopters taught me this, also try not to stab wire locking into your hand it hurts more than you would think Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Jamie cheers but you have from the sounds of it experience which I don't so the more the better to help me Jamie you seen the South west meet mate? interested?
lol These look good keep your eye on em you might get a bargin Milbar Wire Twisting Locking Pliers | eBay
really just look like rusty pliers? Something went over my head I gather? quality old stuff that will last years in other words?
I am interested in the meet mate, however have a load of stuff to do over the next few months so cant commit right now. could always pop up to Bristol for a chat, or wire locking lessons if you like some time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
