    I guess it doesn't make you Grumpy, but Oh!!! what a pain it is.
    But a necessary task that one has to do 100% always.

    All my locks are different so there's a few keys.

    A while back someone was talking about a centrally locked trailer. Might be worth investigating Gaz

    All my locks are different so there's a few keys.

    I went in the local hardware store and brought 4 locks on the same key. Put one on side door one on back door one on tool box and one on the trailer hitch. The one on the trailer hitch makes the trailer locked on to my car or if i take it off the car i lock it so no one can put it on a car. Cost me 55 i got heavy duty ones but there where cheaper lighter ones. Supa cheap have ones in there cheap but they are also rubbish my offsider that i got rid of left keys in the toolbox and locked it and i realised how garbage the where when the hacsaw cut it in about 2 seconds.

    hahahahahahahahaha, I have a client that gets rid of me each year only to call me back a few months later, saying that I am quality but to expensive.. I lol in front of her just before Xmas when she said can you match the other price. I said sure, but I will not do any edging, no blowing no catching and I'll do 1/2 her front yard and back yard.... I walked off telling her this time to bleeeep off, politely that is....

    Broke the blade on a pair of secaturs the other day,you can see a fault in the metal on the cross section.No problem,life time guarantee.The one thing in my tool kit I can't find the receipt for just happens to be these secaturs.I got them at the big red & green shed so I grab a heap of receipts from there to show how much I've spent with them thinking it will be no problem.
    They didn't want to know about it,last time they get a dime of my money.

    Lifetime guarantee...go direct to manufacturer/importer.
    The date you bought them is irrelevant

    Alternately, your accounting program may assit you find the details of purchase, and if you paid by credit card or eftpos your bank statement can also confirm it.
    With a date, amount and payment method, they should be able to track through their register.

    I've found the purchase on my statements,but I'll just go straight to Cyclone now. It's only a $50 pair of secaturs,I was going to ask Bunnings to credit the difference to a pair of Bahco secaturs but that probably would of set them in a tailspin

    I had them give me credit from a ****ty drill type that i burnt 2 of them out even though they had a life time warranty with a good bosch drill. They had no argument with it.

    x2,strong as.
    Wish I could get a Bacho pole pruner the same design as fisker.
    Well make that the old fisker. Tried the new one & have broken it within a few weeks.
    The old ones design makes it an absolute pleasure to use, but the build quality is average.
    Anyone have any suggestions of a pole lopper/pruner thats comfortable to use on a ladder???
    Cheers Dean.

    Ingrave a letter or something onto each one so you can recognize which is which at a glance.
