You got a fetish for ring spanners and Honda SL tanks?
Looks like you've got a shifter for every size bolt.. ;)

Whitworth  and British Aircraft Fine sized ones too . But you all lie when say you never use an AFS* wrench  ;)  
*AFS being the correct terminology for a shifting spanner/wrench .       Any F**king Size......

I call mine an 'all-rounder' - as it rounds off the nuts and bolts.  One spanner fits all

What no marine carpet on the floor?

In my new line of work I get to see a few peoples garages and there is a lot of marine carpeting going on. Lots of guys have hoists, tyre machines, walls of Snap on.

I like a clinical workshop where everything has its place and everything is clean. Just built a seperate shed for all the future projects so that all the dirty stuff stays outside.

We sold a 30k 4 post hoist the other day to a guy (former iconic Aussie rocker) who wanted to see 'under' his Lambo, not work on it but just see under it  ;D
