Hey all couldnt see a thread like this so i made one for any tools and or equipment we all buy and if we've got a bargain why not share it

picked up a ratched screwdriver frm screwfix £2.99 with 6 bits - bargain i think lol over £4.00 saving

anyone else?

Bahco make a lifetime guaranteed set of screwdrivers. not cheap at a tenner for a number 2, but when i round the head off i just take it back and swap for a new one( only owned it for a week so no idea if its even possible yet lol)

Gotta say, im a bit of a bahco whore. they make a lurverly set of side cutters, nice teeny ones and sparky size too

Snap-On (also own Bahco) and Mac Tools (also own Facom etc) all normally offer a limited lifetime warranty.
The thoery being a large proportion pay for the stuff on the drip, so they make a profit.
Well worth the extra if you can afford to pay for it outright.
