my rotary picks....... :D

Or perhaps my mica..... :wink:

Gotta be van first, i suppose cost comes into it so maybe the most expensive to replace items. Drills, specialist opening kits etc. Alot of tools, while essential, are not that expensive to replace and can be ordered for next day delivery in most cases.

:wink: That sort of makes sense, it was the carry around gear i was thinking of, unless you have a dinky that rules out ones vehicle, as a matter of interest what vans do you have and are they ok?
Myself, as a carpenter ( The amount of lock work i get would never keep me busy full time) drive a Mercedes Vito which i am pleased with.

Hand tools would have to be my hand pick set and the CB pick,

I was warned away from the Vitos for various reasons but its each to their own, i have a rare (ish) 4 wheel drive VW Transporter.

I should be geting a nice shiney new transit delivered next week :D

I had a test drive of the new vito a few weeks ago but that merc pedal handbrake thing did not agree with me (hill starts!!!) :shock: , its a nice van, but you cant beat a transit for practicality and reliability, (in my opinion anyway, please feel free to disagree) :wink:
