what if the check bounces

Did you use a clear? I just helped my friend put down the Rustoleum professional kit in his hangar. The salesman sold us 4 kits of colour and 4 kits of clear for 1300sq ft. We only used up 2 and a 1/4 kits of the colour, it looked patchy and thin, but we had already flaked it, and the...

G'day fellas. Im trying to piece back together an old Kincrome tool kit for my father, and give it to him for fathers day. Here is a link to what it looks like: http://www.kincrome.com.au/web/catalogue/search/product_display.php?partnumber=21083 I still have the cabinet in perfect condition...

I just tried this on the weekend on some of my fathers old tools. I used regular white vinegar and started the soak on friday night. By saturday morning I saw that it had started working really well, but some of the more surface rust was still on there. We went away for the night and by the...

Hey guys, a mate of mine wants to paint the floor of his hangar. It is 15m x 8m and we want to do it ourselves. He wants a fleck/flake finish and a clear coat. What do we need and where do we get it? (best product best prices etc...) Thanks, Mark

I am looking to invest in a set of GearWrench reversible ratchet wrenches. I have been tossing up wether to get the 15 degree offset wrenches or the zero offset wrenches, as I can think of at least a few situations off the top of my head where I would prefer one or the other... I would love to...

Thanks for all the replies guys, alot of good info. I will go and rethink my strategy. The first thing I need is a good roll cab to start putting this all in... My end goal here is to have a medium size roll cab and top chest combo, say 30", that can follow me around the shop. Then have a...

Hi guys, I'm new to the site. My name is Mark, I'm 24 years old, and live in Australia. I race quads and love working on them and building the engines. I have built up a small but functional tool kit over the last 5 or 6 years. It consists of many different brands, mainly Sidchrome wrenches...

These are the guys I found in Australia for Beta Tools: http://www.toolsandtrade.com.au/ They gave me a very good price for what I wanted including shipping up to Townsville NQ. Thanks, Mark

Since I posted this I did a bit more digging on here. They dont seem as nicely finished as Snap-On, for example. I guess I will have to get my hands on a set before I outlay the cash!

Hey guys I'm new here, from Australia. Has anyone on here used Beta Tools? They are made in Italy, and used by many MotoGP teams, among others. What is the quality of them like? How do they compare to Snap-On? The tools I am most interested in are the basics like wrenches, sockets, geared...

wow what a great setup! For anyone in Australia wanting to do this, I found this mob in Brisbane who sell this: http://www.precisionautomotive.com.au/productrange/vehicle-hoists/summit/ST3000.php They have quoted me $5500 uninstalled + freight, which I think is not too bad at all... The guy...
