Got myself some much needed stuff.

Slide hammer, always wanted/needed one. I have a valid excuse now though as I need to pull out the top of my Volvo's rear panel, after I removed the lower section and then made a hash of the top part. lol
4.5" grinder to replace my now deceased 20+ year old Bosch unit. The Bosch was 900w, and very rarely stopped when pressing on with wire cups etc so I wanted another 900w to replace it. I have looked around for a weeks, and most of this power are £50-£90. This Clarke (with 2 year guarantee) was £24, and it gets very good reviews, isn't very heavy or large. Score! - Hopefully.
Hammer and dolly set. Self explanatory. I have been using a large dolly and large metal working hammer and enjoyed good results so far, so hopefully some more precise equipment will do the job in the intricate areas too.
I also got a Dremel accesory set (hate buying genuine examples of these!) I bought a new Dremel (proper one) before xmas as the chuck broke in my awesome old no-make thing and the flexible shaft was broken by a mate. I bought it to allow me to access awkward/smaller areas on the shell (scuttle corner/lower A pillar) and have had success with the normal cutting discs I had left over, Powercraft I think. Dremel sell proper reinforced jobs for cutting steel though, and they are meant to be much better, but at £15 for 3 I wasn't about to try. :|
Anyway, £20 for a 100 piece accesory set, which includes 3 of these Speec Clic disks and the arbor. Can't be bad.
After dinner I shall make some noise and see what's what. :thumb:
