its a no brainer but people will still insist on cutting corners,

i know too many people like this! "iv only ever serviced me car twice in five years, its a soldier of a car!" two months later the car is being scrapped due to blown engine lmao fair play, i see what you mean about the new vehicle movement, mate of mine went through four banger cars that kept...

before i had a dedicated workshop at home, i done pretty much the same thing, two saw horses and a fire door, surprisingly robust! 

iv seen the the keter in person and being used, my friend that has one swears by it, hes a chippy, but hes know plumbers and sparks to have them in their vans for when they need a surface to work from

6k for 18 years of travelling is pretty good going! i think renting a push bike over that time would cost more hahaha, if my calculations are correct isnt that 300 quid a year? and most half decent vans are around that a month!!

this is my reasoning behind the honda frv, it basically is a van especially as it has 3 seats up front which my daughter will love :)  plus it being a car, a pretty unattractive pensioner looking vehicle, its less likely to be broken into where as a van would,90% of the people i know that have...

thank you means alot, this is why ive never been a fan of snap on,  its ridiculous what they charge, me and my mechanic friends have argued for years about snap on and their over the top prices, all you are paying for is the brand name, their marketing and the bloke that drives around in the...

makes perfect sense, black and decker definitely isnt what it used to be though,  but point taken thank you

This is why im starting small and seeing where it takes me, iv seen and known of people to go all guns blazing, buying all the best kit, the biggest van etc only to run into financial difficulty very quickly. iv taken advice from 20 pus different people that have ran or currently running their...

did you not read my post? im looking for a reason to buy over the other? build quality functions personal experience, at the moment im swaying towards the mac allister due to the price, but 9/10 you pay for what you get for but id rather ask advice from people that have used or owned either...

it depends where my business takes me, at the moment alot of my work will be factory based, within or outside the building so i can take my tool bag / boxes to the job no issue, worst case bring the item home to repair in my workshop, eventually i want to be able to do that and be able to remove...

iv had cctv on my house for years due to items being stolen from my car and back garden, everytime iv seen the theif on the camera, they havent seen the camera but have been hooded up regardless so i couldnt see their faces :(  i will be getting a van in a few years depending how well my...

Thanks for the advice, but i will only be carrying tool box and the occasional large consumable e.g cable drums, 3 phase motors etc so nothing large or heavy that can be seen from the outside, as well as tints il be making a custom fit safe that i can lock and remove if necessary, the safe will...

which one do people use and why? im swaying towards the mac allister as i can get it alot cheaper than the keter, but heard the keter is just as good. what are your views. Ash

this is swaying me more towards the honda frv as its slightly taller in height than the avensis estate. few years ago i had a cmax, not by choice, but i turned up to an interview once, and on arrival, the boss asked if i could change into some overalls to carry out a practical assessment...

no competition, im here too learn and soak up advice to make me a better technician and potentially help others, as my old supervisor always use to say to me "i have a old head on young shoulders" listening to other guys in the trade it makes sense for to go self employed and start my own...

 how is this done? i got rid of a load as having ten spare was over kill, if i had a unit that went from 110 to 240 it would make sense

multi skilled in todays terms - being able to attend a machine and successfully diagnose its issue and repair it either it be an electrical fault or mechanical fault. electrically wise could be diagnosing a faulty motor or burnt out relay, mechanical could be diagnosing a broken drive shaft of...

this is the type of boxes i plan on using...

the only things id carry on top would be a long extendable ladder and possibly conduit, but now days you can get large items delivered to site, my vehicle will just be a giant  roll cab if you know what i mean
