I'm getting ready to move into a new home with a really nice 2 car detached garage. It is going to be a bit of a homebuilt aircraft mecca. My RV-8 project will finally have a solid home and a few other guys from the airport will be doing some work there as the FAA is working on laying down the law on hangar use at airports.
Anyway back on topic Tools. I have a well stocked krl 1022 at work mostly snap on and matco. My home garage I want to be a little more exotic tool wise. I'm looking towards Japanese and Euro brands. There is no real reason why other than possible conversation and something to kind of experiment with other lesser known brands.
I am going to get my Japanese tools from frankstools.com. He seems like a stand up guy to deal with just from a few emails.
I'm also wanting to get some beta tools (really thinking about a beta toolbox) and trident supply will have that covered.
I would like to get some bahco tools but, I'm having a hard time locking down a good vendor other than amazon. No problem ordering from amazon but browsing amazon bahco brings up williams and all kinds of rif raf.. Any good sources with a large portion of the bahco catalog in the u.s.?
I am not in a hurry to get any particular tool just buying interesting things here and there. Not really interested in used tools or ebay at all. I like the hunt for offbeat brand quality new tools. It may be a little diva ish of me but I want my garage to be as unique as functional.
Am I crazy? haha quite possibly
