    P B Swiss drivers, are they that good?

    I've got PB Swiss drivers and bits, the bits are really good and definately worth it. The drivers are also fantastic. I've got all three types of grips they offer and I find that the "swiss grip" are really good quality, with just the right amount of "springyness" to the handle. I've got a set...

    wood or metal framed building?

    Hi all, I'm currently looking into having a garage built for my business, it needs enough room for 2/3 cars, workspace at one end and office/storage (mezimene floor may be best for the office/storage). What sort of size would you guys recomend? Thing is, do I go for a wood or steel structure...

    New toys! I mean tools!

    I've just ordered some PB swiss punches etc and some knipex bits as well.. I've decided that you can't really beat them for that kind of stuff. Although I've just brought some wera screwdrivers to try out as well in long and short shafts.

    Amazon sale on PB Swiss???

    interestingly PB Swiss won't send me their swiss dealers and spoken to some shops in switzerland and they aren't willing to send over seas... looks like i'll end up paying snap-on prices for it all... but at least I'll be different :D

    Amazon sale on PB Swiss???

    I hate amazon. Amazon UK doesn't stock PB Swiss, the UK PB Swiss distributor doesn't stock ****** all and if I buy it from Amazon US I get stung by HM Customs... grrrrh. Imported some from germany but their distributor is missing half of the stuff I ****** want.. So you guys in the US feel lucky...

    who makes these?

    well it's on my watch list and I'm willing to bid up to £80 for it bearing in mind I'd have to go get it at roughly £40 cost to myself. If your really after it I'll leave it, I've got my eye on something else atm as well and can't afford both. The whole style is really nice though and would work...

    Snap on combination wrenches

    I've got some older stuff and some stahlwilles that I brought recently, and have used plenty of snap-on spanners... I rate the stahlwilles higher.. some may not like the finish but the overall feel, length, strength and weight is in my opinion superiour to snap-on.

    need help deciding what box

    I've been looking at getting a new box, and snooping around on eBay I recon I can get a 40" 8 draw snap-on top box for the price of a lesser made chinesse crappy. I'm going to make a cart out of 1" square and mount the box ontop, making a nice little tool trolly.
