Living in the Southern tip of Africa, good hand tools are very exspensive. The selection is very limited and the one or two copanies that bring it in has the monopoly and can charge whatever they want.:mad:
Luckely the internet has now changed that!:D I started investigating purchasing some tools directly from the supplier. I soon realised that it will not be worthwile purchasing 1 item at a time. I then started saving to make a bulk purchase so that the shipping cost can be shared by the various items.
Unfortunately I have currency exchange to content with witch resulted in me having to drop 1 item off my list. All because the powers that be, made some serious policy blunders over the last two months and our curency plumeted by 12% against the greenback. But dispite all this, I still paid almost 40% less than what I would have iff I purchased it from the agent in our country.
Well Yesterday Christmass came around for the second time in less than 50days!!!:D
81620
When I got home this was waiting for me.
I could not wait to unpack it all!:D

Now I will Have to make a new cabinet because there is no more space for all that in here.:eek:
