The Cool Tools Thread

[MrFijiGold]

Anyone heading down to VEK tools tomorrow for their sale?

[MrFijiGold]

Okay so I am planning to get myself a tool chest. Have been looking at Kincrome and the likes..

Found out that TengTools has a cool option to build your own chest. Guys at VEK also said they would bundle up an air compressor with rattle gun, etc.

Q. Any feedback regarding TengTools? I dont care about brand image - just need to know their durability, etc.

[Calsonic14U]

Cant help you there mate, i uses mostly sidchrome and snap - on tools. I guess as long as you treat the tools properly they will last.

[MrFijiGold]

Thats alright bud. Yeah I guess with life time warranty, if I treat them well, they should return the favor haha.

If I do buy a set, will for sure report back with feedback. Cheers

Repco make good quality tools for a sensible price and have life time warranty on them

[MrFijiGold]

if you go the repco route dont get there powerbuilt gear (not sure if they still sell it but they still do warranty swaps on it) i go a 500 odd piece powerbuilt double sliding toolbox setup with my tools for the trade about 6 years ago, most of it is all good however the ratchet handles' reverse switch falls out of them as they are poorly designed (they get replaced under warranty but its a pain taking them back and waiting for replacements). also the sockets are very lightly engraved with sizes so after a while its impossible to read. It doesnt effect there use its just an inconvienance

Email received ta but thanks for the reminder!

Looking forward to some picks of tools that you folks pick up. Keen for a new tool chest this year...not really a cool tool though.

[Rob260]

Glad to see this thread back in action

I have three Repco chests, get in there this weekend and snag one for 30% off. They seem fairly well built, I haven't got any complaints except that they keep filling up lol

[nk7]

Do you have to be a VIP member to get these emails? Apparently there was a 60% sale on boxing day: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/176169

[Rob260]

Yes VIP member for the 30% off sales.

The tool storage is sometimes discounted in catalogue sales too

[boxheadmr]

Picked this up today from Bunnings, they are deleting the range. Was only $50

[Pezhead]

Can't wait to fire up this bad boy!

[anon32]

[BundyBear]
