Here's one for you chaps What do we think about this? I've got this lovely vice that has adjustable angle etc. It was given to me by an engineer and I really want to put it to work. Problem is, the slider is operated back and forward by the larger of the two pieces (threaded) and is held in...

Thanks again for the advice :) Ill carry on with the stick for the minute and see how I go. I quite fancy building a rack for my spare wheels to sit on - should be a good challenge! Ill also keep my eyes peeled on FB Marketplace for some second hand ones. Interesting about the ear comment -...

Thanks for the advice - at this stage its all about learning for me. I did have a feeling that stick wasnt going to ever be great for car repairs - luckily I dont need to do any car repairs at present. Its more just learning how it works for the minute as a very low cost option. I was gifted...

Dear Daniel, Unsure on your previous comments. Please see my first attempt at stick welding below. I must be naturally gifted? Yours Truly, William

Have you tried being less buff 🤣

BUT NEW TOOLS ROB, NEWWWWWWW TOOOOOOOOLLLLSSSSSS Get outta here with your tester, maaaan.

Well, looking at most of the ranges and considering im very unlikely to need to do any kind of headwork (giggles), its going to be 20nm - 200nm at a push. The highest value ive seen, quickly skimming, is 185nm. So, ill have plenty of headway on that. I have a large 50(?) to 200 & a teeny 20 -...

Thanks dude! So supposing I went for the ACDelco ones, they seem great value for money for a digital version which I prefer as as a simpleton - id then need to buy the extra add on bit for angle too? Be handy to have an all in one. Then again, I really only need torque values as ive just...

yes, do a hekin link @Touring_Rob xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

I didnt even think of Halford Advanced! Got a mate with a trade card too which will help im sure. The rest of my tools are by them, so makes sense to continue on with that - plus theyre really good value. Cheers James!

Morning all! Torque wrenches....talk to me... I have a very basic (Sealy?) (read:cheap) torque wrench which ive used for years. Chrome looking thing with the spinning handle to adjust it etc. With the very strong possibility of some engine building on the horizon, I feel I should get myself...

Paging the CS IT Guru @The Crumb Master

cos @Sunglasses_Ron is ma fookin daa

Oh hi. (is it distasteful to post pictures of myself in my dads car? 🤣)

It was my understanding that pretty people do quite well in prison....🤔🤣

Maybe we could make something work here. Get CS in the news. @Touring_Rob you ride down the road really fast - ok? Then, just wait for this bit........AND THEN @Sunglasses_Ron jumps out from behind a Bush, shouts 'ELLO ELLO ELLO ROBERT. COME ERE THEN SONNY JIM'. (Emphasis on the Cockney bit...

Yes, this. My rant didnt include this bit, as portrayed wonderfully by Range Rover Rob. Ive never ridden one, but they sound f**king ballistic. Id love one to get to work on - I have a cycle path that I could use every day. But, I just cant hack all the people stopping me asking for a bag.

These things, along with the rental bikes, just give me anxiety. Not only are you spot on - theyre usually only rented by throbbers or pissheads who cba to walk - but if they hit YOU, its YOU who has to make an insurance claim on your own insurance?! I could be sat there in stationary traffic...

As per, Chichester traffic was abysmal on bankholiday monday so I was redirected through the town center. Out of nowhere comes one of those Suron (Siron? Suuron? SIRon?) EBike things that youths who sell substances are notorous for using... Balaclava, manbag...you get the idea. Well, this guy...

Mines from Portsmouth. Get elevenrifed.

i think another scene is @Touring_Rob having a zip lock bag in his center console....in a black range rover.... @Sunglasses_Ron @Ray Gin 👀

I had one of these for a while over lockdown - I used it a lot with Gran Turismo. Like, a LOT. As far as sim stuff goes, im led to believe its THE one to have as an entry model. Its got force feedback (f**king strong if you ramp it up too!) and its not too bad. I never got to try some of the...

Could be the heater matrix thats gone pop?

Ive used plenty of the brushes that @imprezaworks has just linked but, honestly, wheel woolies are my go to. I bought the Turtlewax set a few months back, theyre just some collab between TW and WheelWoolies but are the same thing, and they were half the price they usually are. f**king awesome...

I hadnt even thought about it slipping! You learn something new everyday - like the day I tired to use a cheap adjustable spanner to undo a tight bolt and it just span and fucked the bolt up....yeah, lesson learnt :LOL:

me? Yes, my name is Rhys......👀

Ahhhhh. So many mentions of Nuts. Joy. Yeah, they'll just me for me. I only have some very very basic tools at the moment as I (stupidly) sold my Kirkland multi set box to my dad as he liked it. Im going to be buying the Halfords Advanced stuff in the foam trays as ive got the halfords tool...

what about the halfords advanced ones? Im pretty new to the tool stuff but for the money, surely you cant go wrong? Ratchet is where its at too. Youll know better than me though, judging by some of the stuff I see you post!

oh, sorry.....did you think I wasnt going to get the Halfords Advanced set too?...... #csballer I honestly shouldnt. But, I also should. Ive got my lovely nice Halfords Advanced chest ready to go too......god damn it
