Steve.

I bought it about a year ago from Placemakers for forty odd dollars. Tried bunnings and mitre 10 who both said they dont sell them and don't know why not! I don't mind paying more for a good quality tool that will last a lifetime.

Whats really really scary is when as part of an inspection for a service you find a little rim rock so you pull down the front right hub of a 110 and find that the outer nut has the chisel marks in both direction, on both sides, on multiple facets of the nut, Then when you finally manage to get the lock washer off you find that the inner nut has chisel marks in both directions and the damage on the inner nut had pressed into the lock washer. Then when you finally manage to get that inner nut out you find that on the other side of that nut is...... more chisel marks.

ohhh so that was ur car i was working on LOL
