Garage Porn

In a professional car setting you would probably use most of them. In the shed working on the bike I think you would be lucky to use 100 of them.
Nice kit though but ouch at the price. That said a snap on tool box on its own probably costs that.
 
That's a very decent price for all that kit, Teng are easily as good as Snap-on without the elitist bullshit badge!

That's exactly what I thought, if you were to buy them all individually must be around £5-6k

On a quiet night shift but not that quiet..;)
 
How prices change, I nearly bought myself the same kit in 2006 when I left the Navy and it was retailing at 2 grand. Still a bargain at today's prices.
 
Never mind Stephen Hawkings

I am Still trying to figure out what a special offer on a toolchest is doing in the 1200 Hexhead section?

Do they not fit the other bikes?

Working on the assumption that anyone with a bike older than the R1200 only needs a hammer and screwdriver and anyone with a WC can't be trusted with tools. :thumb


Anyhow..I don't think it's a special offer but is seriously hardcore garage porn. :drool

As the link takes me to a sign in page and wants my info I have not seen the kit in question. However I have never seen any Teng tools that match your "easily as good as Snap On" quote.

Reasonable quality yes and probably more than adequate for the casual user or home mechanic. I started working on vehicles in 1972 and soon learnt that good tools make a huge difference. As a professional mechanic and garage owner I bought mainly Snap On or other high end brands. In that environment I found top quality tools are less likely to cause damage to fasteners or to the person using them. The lifetime guarantee is also a major advantage with Snap On-coupled with the fact that the tool van come around every week. And there is the pleasure of working with good tools, they just feel right. It's kind of like the difference between listening to music from an MP3 file and playing the vinyl on a decent set up. Both do the job but the two experiences are miles apart.

In my opinion full kits often contain loads of stuff you wont need, if you know what you need its better to buy just that and then be prepared to add to your kit when the need arises. That way you can get all you need for a lot less than the price of the full sets.

I bought one of these kits and you would be surprised how much of it you do actually use! How many of us have used improvised tools in the past because we don't have the real thing: screwdrivers as drifts or scrapers, or lever bars etc it's much easier with the right tool and your not damaging the improvised item. I genuinely thought I would never need the giant size socket set up to 50mm + unless a passing tractor needed a wheel changing: but then my son bought a Ducati with a 45mm wheel nut! The biggest pleasure in a kit like this is that you can put your hand on the right tool in an instant, without rummaging in a box, it's also easy to see at a glance if they are replaced and nothing is missing. As previously mentioned at around £3 a tool it's good value compared to having to buy each individual set of kit.

You can also get it few hundred £s cheaper if you shop around, I got mine from "HiS Scotland" for a lot less than quoted on here.

Respect on the porn collection:bow:bow:bow.

Who is this "HiS Scotland" you speak of and do they have a web site?

Only curious by the way, I'm not going to spunk £3000 on tools....

HiS is "Highland Industrial Supplies" http://www.hisltd.co.uk/Search.php?Action=QuickSearch&Keywords=Teng+tools&x=0&y=0#searchtop

Just had a look and they want £3400:eek: for it, think I paid about £2800 18 months ago, that said its an industrial type trade place and you never pay the ticket price, they seem to take £s of at the till:nenau so worth asking what it will actually cost at point of sale, but it would appear £3k is about the going rate for it.
