I take offence to being called a retard, especially with the likes of Simon on the site!

f*ck you, at least i know the difference between 1/2" and 3/8" just to confuse you you can also get 1/4" too!

Your not filling me with confidence on this job, just save up and get someone who knows what they are doing to do it for your own sake, it'l cost more when you balls it up.

the bitch of a customer here though is a f***ing retard, feel like kicking her peg leg out from under her. I swear, if she f***ing snaps at me again she will regret it.

ask her what she thinks of your 1/2 incher

Or if you're brave enough, ask to see her female torx bit

Dave is going to start a thread before he gets started on the head, aren't you Dave?

Dave, buy this!

http://www.atsite.co.uk/p-4347-draper-expert-40-piece-tx-star-hexagon-and-xzn-mechanics-bit-set.aspx?affiliateID=10050

It's a lifesaver & has everything you'll need for this & many more jobs (apart from the ratchet but you'll need one of those anyway).

EDIT:

Also on ebay, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Expert-40-Piece-Tx-Star-Hexagon-Xzn-Mechanics-Bit-Set-/310248862391?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item483c45f2b7

Get the electric sander out, look at it, look at her leg, look at her face and then smile.

She will soon f*ck off

tommygards · « **Reply #29 on:** September 08, 2010, 22:13:41 PM »

lol at this thread.

just to go back to one of your first questions, sealey is a good make. Ive got a few tools made by then including some of my compressor tools and never had any issues. im sure you can get reviews on their stuff anyways.

Dajanitor · « **Reply #30 on:** September 08, 2010, 23:02:49 PM »

If you dont mind waiting nor the shipping costs.

Buy Craftsman tools from the united states.

All craftsman hand tools have a lifetime warranty, should they break, send it back and they will provide a replacement free of charge forever.

Bloody brilliant tools, its all i will ever buy.

Um DanBastardisedHybridCali bra, Shifty...

Dave will need a breaker bar guys, you torque the head bolts down firstly then angle tighten them in sequence and there is no bluddy way he will do that with a ratchet, you practically have to pull all your weight on the bar to get the last angle tighten done it's so tight!

Phil. · « **Reply #32 on:** September 09, 2010, 08:13:54 AM »

My list of tools would be:

A 1/4 socket + ratchet set
A 3/8 socket + ratchet set
A 1/2 socket + ratchet set
A 1/2 Torque Wrench
A set of 1/2, 3/8 male + female torx bits
A set of spanners
A set of extension bars (if not in ratchet sets)
A spark plug socket
An LED torch
A magnetic Tray (for bolts + nuts) handy as hell

Can't think of much else mate.

Get down the gym dude, can be done with a ratchet!

Better still, get busy with the 5 knuckle fandango a bit more often. You'll have forearms like popeye in no time.

You could do it with your hands if your name is Mr. Carl then

Bovva · « **Reply #35 on:** September 09, 2010, 09:44:58 AM »

I agree Phil but i've never had the issue you mentioned when using a wrench

Dave · « **Reply #36 on:** September 09, 2010, 12:09:43 PM »

Thanks for the links DanBastardisedHybridCali bra, I will certainly put that down on my list of stuff to buy,

just for the record I already have a Halfords Advance kit, that has A 1/4 socket + ratchet set

A set of 1/2, 3/8 male + female torx bits
A set of spanners
A set of extension bars (if not in ratchet sets)
A spark plug socket

I will add the other few bits to my list though!

Tommy: Thanks for clearing up about Sealey

Put my mind at rest, just seems a little cheap to me thats all lol!

As for choking the chicken, well, I have enough hidden porn on the phone to keep me occupied when the missus aint about lol!!

DanSE4 · « **Reply #37 on:** September 09, 2010, 12:16:50 PM »

Add this to my previous link,

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DRAPER-14-PIECE-SET-TX-STAR-TORX-SOCKETS-FEMALE-35381-/130398877676?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item1e5c60f7ec

and that's your Torx/TX-Star bits sorted.

Dave · « **Reply #38 on:** September 09, 2010, 12:24:38 PM »

I'm pretty sure I have all those already in the Halfords kit mate,

http://washford.scene7.com/is-viewers/flash/genericzoom.swf?serverUrl=/is/image&image=Washford/370635a&viewSize=450,507

That's the kit that I have already

and they have a lifetime guarantee too

DanSE4 · « **Reply #39 on:** September 09, 2010, 12:32:07 PM »

Looking at that then you already have 1/4", 3/8" & 1/2" ratchets (with some extensions) also male + female Torx bits.
