Ive just moved to a new place, and it has that most fantastic of things, a dry, sound garage! So, now I want to fit it out with enough bits to do more than the basic maintenance that has been possible previously.. So, have a small (tiny) compressor and rattle gun, but want to get a really decent size one and put a line round the wall.. Searched the usual (machinemart etc) but does anyone have any other sugestions for a) good makes and suplliers, and b) any other essential pieces of tool porn that I should be purchasing? >> Stay informed about: Garage fitout.

A ring main around the garage comes in very handy, with sockets evenly spaced around (you can never have too much light or too many sockets) - and shelves, lots of shelves. -- Pip: B12 >> Stay informed about: Garage fitout.
