Where to buy tools from

[csweet]

Afternoon all. wondered where you bought your tools from. Did a price comparison with Tool station and Screw Fix and TS was cheaper - but what about quality? I went for the cheapest products both had to offer.

What do you think TS, SF or even Wickes?

go down to a few local plumbing merchants and ask for a few quotes on tools, they sometimes give you a nice discount if you say please

ebay,screwfix,ts theres no one place to get all your kit shop around,btw ts sell mainly silverline =tat,but they do monument as well

Cheers for the advice. My lecturer said Monument was the best but its things like adjustable wrench, PVC pipe cutter, etc. that I'm not 100% on. Not into buying cheap but there was £18 difference between the two and couldn't see what made one more expensive...

ebay are good for bahco tools specially adjustables.

been plumbing 3 yrs - just bought fantastic new bahco thirty quid adjustable - well chuffed with it, had to buy cheap to start with, - always keep old tools for spares (it gets chaotic on sites !!!!) - it makes such a difference, with a quality feel with up to date hand tools - began using Dads hand-me-downs, which have done me proud, but when i get a good job on-the-go i like to treat myself, bahco and monument are great - stanley and draper are spares /seconds - keep collecting them!! moore

will look on ebay too -- thanks mr lennie

Buy from a recognised firm or even your tutor will have info if you are on a training course. I've picked up the top stuff for a decent price by going through the college. Make the course better for you by making sure you get good equipment and they should be very competative with price.
