Gidday Folks
I just sprung for one. Just bought the metal handled set here: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....m=220932617092 $44, including P&H. There are a few sets left. These appear to have a relatively large grip on both tools, important when applying so much force ... I will give an opinion on their build quality when I have them to hand ... So caveat emptor until then ![]()

Yeah that looks real good Ratbag. I only have a cheap Supercheap set which is pretty average to use, but I guess it gets the job done.

Also took Mr T's warning to heart about the possibility of the plastic-handled ones breaking. If I get any kind of serious wound, it's a trip to hospital because of the Warfarin. The bleeding just won't stop ... I really cannot take that risk. With my health problems, it pays to be as careful as possible, without getting hung up about things ... ![]()

You can rely on the fact that they will break at the worst possible moment ... In about 1973 I paid about $150 for a Warren & Brown aircraft tension wrench. It "paid" for itself in a couple of weeks. I still have it. It is still in perfect condition. Last time I checked the price (a long time ago ... ), this item cost just under $1,000! Ditto my collection of Sidchrome metric, AF and SAE spanners (box, ring and sockets). In about 2000, I took an extension bar back to REPCO because the spring-loaded socket holding ball spring had broken (happened a few months after I bought it in the late 1960s ... ). They replaced it free of charge, as Sidchrome stuff had a lifetime guarantee at the time I bought it ... Quote:
Being bitten through the finger by a badly handled mud crab is bad enough ... It tasted good later though. It paid a far higher price than I did ... ![]()

One repair has been there for over 15,000km on the tyre and still going strong.

Back in the old days, tyre shops would use a pyramid-headed plug to repair tubeless tyres (without fitting a tube). That practice got banned a long time ago ... And still is, AFAIK.
