Sorry. I misread the thread title.

I saw the word 'Tool' and this is what immediately came to mind.

My mistake. I will endeavour to do better next time...

The thread title is Tools you've always wanted! Be very careful what you wish for with this tool  :o :o

  Quote  (A good VICE! I have done with out  a vice for about 5 years (since I moved) and thanks to watching the flyers they came on sale this week for about 60% off! Installed it and used it within an hour.....dont know how i did without it for so long.)

   Hard to find a good vice.  The last one I purchased was about 10 years ago a cast piece of chinese shit and it lasted for about a couple of months, when I tried to have it replaced the seller said the warranty would not cover damage caused if it was used to hammer or bend in. Makes you wonder what they are covered for, so I made my own.


  6 inch half offset jaws.


  But the best part of it is it will open up to about 11 inches, would have been a foot but the piece of steel I have for the screw wasn't long enough.

I've just finished nutting out a niggly wiring problem on one of my bikes. Getting the problem sorted wasn't even close to how good it felt reviving a multi meter that I bought in the late eighties to tackle it with. This meter has now earned the top shelf of my tool chest (bloke tool moment)

  I did an oil change today for a mate using my old sidchrome oil filter removing tool, anyway I dropped and broke the bloody thing.  I have had it for a long time and it wasn't the best or easiest thing to use so now I need to get a replacement something that will fit a Z9 size filter.  I have a smaller tool that fits my own vehicles so I dont want to spend to much on it.  Has anyone used one of these new cup type tools ? are they any good ?  Any thoughts on a good replacement.

So you reckon you've got all the tools you need? Well how many of you have a battery powered shifter? Santa thought I needed one and so did a mate.......I've now got two and I can't stop playing with them!

 Speaking of Black and Decker Christmas gift gizmos I also got one of these very cool ratchet multi socket/spanners which contains 16 different sized spanners in the one unit. Just perfect for the bum bag or took kit on the IT Vinduro bike.

     Just picked up a new Air Hose Reel 20 mtrs of hose on special at the moment for around $55 from Repco.  Looks ok and well worth the money.

Recently bought one of these.  I call it "The Thing".

It's a 12V Jump Starter, 12V Power Source, Air Compressor, Light and lastly 240V Inverter Power source.  Awesome.  ;D
