    Nope. If you want to use my tools you can come and do it in my yard or workshop.
    I need them to earn a living. None of them are cheap.

    Used to, then stopped, then restarted and regret it everytime I go to find something and cant. Then its stop what I'm doing jump in the car and buy it again. Mind you some of these lost tools could be under the crap in the shed also, but to date have not found many.

    Only to my son, the mechanic, although he doesn't call it a loan. He calls it a present. That's how I've ended up buying two of everything.

    was working as a mechanic [bikes] in Alice Springs in the early 80s someone thought they liked my tool box better than theirs
    Mine was full of speciallist Honda tools from working for Honda over the years, turns our I had to return to Melb, NO TOOLS NO JOB
    never did get them back the f,,,,,ing low life.
    Received a letter from Alice 3 months later for a bush job working on the Khan railwayline from Marla bore [ no road house] down
    to Kingoonya. Home base was the original Kulgera homestead next to the nearly finished Kulgera road house, Its reported the gum tree
    out the front was planted by John Batman

    Returned today, and like I expected the isolator switch was in the mailbox when I arrived home. BUT it's broken and parts are missing, think they only sent it to stop me complaining to eBay.
