Yes, too good to pass up. I already have 2 pairs of the ratchet type with a lower load limit. I have just placed an online order and will think about whether to also get these pin type ones. https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/sca-sca-car-stands-pin-3000kg/563871.html?cgid=3day-sale#main=&prefn1=activePromos&prefv1=Tools+&prefn2=adArticleType&prefv2=Car+Stands&start=2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
campbeam Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Trade Tools are having a special on Torque Wrenches. Most of their stores are in QLD but online orders are available. https://www.tradetools.com/specials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been going to Trade Tools for more than 10 years for their weekly specials. Certainly good enough for regular DIY and for me to post. https://www.tradetools.com/brands/renegade-industrial If they were the Force brand which has a lifetime warranty then I would not hesitate to highly recommend them and would be buying the 3/8"torque wrench. Seeing that I know you might be looking for a shorter torque wrench, consider this alternative which includes shipping. https://www.tradetools.com/product-range/workshop-and-mechanical/torque-wrenches/force-1-2-10-150ft-lbs-torque-wrench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Prodigy Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 I'll definitely consider looking at these Ashley. Thanks for the links. I'm also a fan of the Teng Tools range. I wish they'd have a sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Prodigy Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Speaking of Torque Wrenches, I recently purchased this digital luggage scale so I can carry out a calibration of my torque wrench and every subsequent one I intend purchasing. Pro calibration services are way too expensive and this torque wrench, I bought around 25 years ago for around $50. It has served me well and I'd love to see how far out of calibration it actually is. I'll let you all know how I go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Prodigy Posted April 25, 2020 Author Share Posted April 25, 2020 Ok Gents. So that juicy little nugget I have brought home. I was always wanting a decent tool chest and just the other day I happen to come across these on sale https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/sca-sca-tool-cabinet-combo-6-drawer-36-inch/385729.html and I picked it up not that long ago, including my 2 pairs of axle stands https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/sca-sca-car-stands-screw-and-pin-3000kg/568659.html There was some assembly required, nothing major. Also gave it a wipe over with Isopropyl alcohol before lavishing the new shiny red powder coated paint with Turtle Wax Seal 'N' Shine. Sorry, My OCD kicking in again It's a product I reserve for items like this. Did my Kranzle pressure washer and my Bosch Front loader when they were first purchased. Just puts a nice thin layer of protection on the surface so it will resist accidental contamination. Easier to keep clean too. Now I have somewhere to put my socket sets, torque wrenches and every other tool I have in one place. My garage needs a total overhaul !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot stand greasy, grimy tools. I even try my best not to scratch my prized tools. After each use, I do wipe them and place them back in their respective spots. I like being organised and try my best to work as tidy as possible. Thanks for the compliment Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
