Yesterday I bought a new ball joint splitter and a new 1/2" drive stud extractor. Might never use them but who knows.

Oil filter strap, I lost my other one and the olde-worlde chain one I've had for years isn't always suitable.

Yep that what it is; the run can either be shaved with a razor blade or sanded without risking damage to the surrounding area. One of these really simple ideas, that works well! Very Happy

I haven't bought any tools for a while, I bought a halfords professional socket set about 2 years ago and its still going strong.

the other day, the door bell rang and a bloke from up our street was stood there asking me if I wanted some tools.......after I said yes, he came back with a big bucket of imperial spanners and sockets, all for free as he was having a clear out Very Happy
