Chilly,but the car boots are on again.
This morning I had a look at Julies car boot near Yarmouth.It was a bit cold but a fair number of stalls.I bought a load of whitworth and BSF taps and dies and some imperial spanners so not a bad day out.The British Standard Whitworth stuff is getting harder to find,imperial AF stuff is slowly going the same way,I did buy a load of imperial swivel head ratchet spanners a while back but little really interesting stuff since.There's a lot of junk about in the hand tool line,OK for selling at car boots and markets if you wont be going back there for a while but thats about all. Britool,King Dick,Bedford,Williams superslim and Snail brand spanners and sockets are still worth having no matter how old as long as the jaws and ring ends aren't worn out or damaged,Elora,Gedore,Koken and the like are also worth having,they are certainly better made than a lot of the cheap imported stuff.
