Spendy Wednesday! was created by Municipal Waste
So today I've spent £370 on my Jimny even though nothing was wrong with it....

Firstly I ordered a Tow Trust towbar with single electrics and a ball/pin coupling.

Then I ordered some of the tools I need to fit the damn thing including:

Norbar TruTorque250 wrench
Draper soldering iron & gun kit
Soldering mat & iron stand
Multimeter
Wire cutters/strippers
Shrink wrap tubing
2.5ltr tin of underseal

I think everything else I've got so let the swearing begin :silly:

It actually worked out the same cost, only then I wouldn't get to keep all the tools :cheer:

I can get Norbar torque wrenches from work (Gemc0 Equipment) at a good price. To be honest they are the best most accurate available. I've been told we have a'lot of second hand torque wrenches available at the moment, so I will be in the office for a little gander, as I want a couple.
I will try to fill my van whilst there if they let me have a'lot cheap.
We specialise in all types of garage equipment and have a division specialising in the testing and calibration of small tools.

I've already got the 4-20nm Norbar wrench for myself at home and at work I use that and the 8-50 wrench. They're certainly very accurate and durable.
