I bought a blow mould Sidcrome kit from Repco on clearance. Might have paid about 90 bucks. Was something like 60% off.

It was Mechpro Blue. I think they have a five year warranty.
Well that explain it then, I rather SCA over that brand, that's why they always go on special no one buys them however might be ok to weld them on rounded head bolts to get them out.

Chrome splinters is a deal-breaker even with don't care if loose them junk tools for wrecker visits.

Bought myself a new decent sized Sidchrome toolbox to replace my 1st year apprentice Sidchrome toolbox kit that is 25 years old & chockers full of extra tools

See supercheap have a tool sale starting tomorrow if anyone interested.
I bought a few things today, oil pressure tester, trim leavers and a bearing separator. I'm wondering if Toolpro speciality tools are as good as Toledo. The price was certainly decent. I almost bought a balljoint press as it was damn cheap but no longer have the 4WD. Only issue I have is the roller cab is full. I need an intermediate two drawer but NLA in the old Repco red.

Yeah, I see they have a lot taking off tools, spring clamps, bearing puller, honing tool, lot of specials but no spare money to have tools sitting around not been used to often, If they can reduce the price that much just how much profit are they making on mark ups. I know they got to pay for overhead cost and wages but mark up is a joke, if they can mark down spring clamps by $50 to $31 that's a huge mark up.
