Just wouldnt expect them to last or potentially work as well as the more costly tools. I have a kick azz impact wrench and commercial compressor because I use them every day. Ive had cheap stuff in the past and there is no comparison! I LOVE my impact! As an aside, look into Metrinch sockets! AWESOME!… I have this set… http://www.metrinch-tools.com/websit...en.php?subnr=8 )

    Tools I use every day/week, I'd spend the money and buy the best I could afford but used very occasional tools, as long as they work, cut straight, operate properly then WTF!

    I used to use a Dremel but for the last 18 months I have used a air Die grinder to sharpen my 2 hedgers. A lot easier as I don't have to remember to charge the die grinder and the stones last longer. Be warned though, they can take off a lot of material really quick if you get heavy handed.

    x2, Looks a great setup for a inner/middle suburban setup.
    Just a truck, no trailer required. Narrow to fit down just about any driveway.
    My setup is quite similar, just a little wider, are you giving the game away ?
    Had to lookup Bellfield, & I thought I knew Melb
    Cheers Fred.

    Awesome idea redeye, Then put a warning sign pointing to the camera would be a great deterant for scumbags...Or employees that talk to much on the phone
