The Park Bits box is £22 !!
It does have a see-through lid though so its a reaonable price. Ahem.
M+S do great wee sealable tubs that come with the added bonus of mini chocolate treats.

Isn't having all your tools from one manufacturer or range a sure sign in any field that you actually have no idea what your doing?

Now i appreciate the right tool for the job more than most but even so you can replace 90% of those tools with a correctly wielded dead blow hammer, especially if youve got one with replaceable soft faces...

Park are a bit over priced for what you get, if you want solidity and longevity you need to start thinking Var Tools and Falcon Stands.

Jesus Zed, is that the lathe from the ark? Love the belt drive. Are the overhead shafts driven by pony, or have you got steam plant now?

LOL
From the old mans website...
"This lathe was originally owned by Maurice Cann, the famous Grand Prix racer and champion of the 30’s 40’s and 50’s; he was notorious for continually beating the “works” Moto Guzzi GP team on his own home-developed Guzzi “double-knocker”; many of the parts for which were made on this machine. We have now overhauled it and returned it to use as part of our workshop equipment. It’s a very handy tool with a 16” swing and 60” between centres - it can handle BIG stuff as well as small. It’s about a hundred years old and was made by the Monarch Machine Company in Sidney, Ohio, and it’s history gives us lots of satisfaction every time we use it!"We have a couple of Colchesters as well.

My park CT6 chain tool lasted precisely 2 chain breaks before it bent the pin and although you can get replacement pins I decided to buy a different tool in the hope it would last a bit longer!
