How about a forum for tools?

Discussions could include:
Cheap vs expensive
Brands
What tool you need

Just a thought

Hmm, it's interesting you said that. I don't know if you're joking or not, but I do have 2 or 3 broken big spanner wrenches! At one time I owned a couple of dozers and did most of the work on them myself. When I was rebuilding the lift cylinders I went to a junk tool place called Harbor Freight (quit laughing!!) and bought some spanner wrenches. However many came in the kit is how many I have that are broken. Frickin' junk tools!!!!!!!

Nah, seriously, I have nothing over 14mm or 5/8, I'd be happy with even some junkers right now

Oh my... Either things are very small in the UK or you need more tools.
10mm is about the smallest size over here and when you reach 14mm, you're now just moving out of electrical connections.
17mm is where things start on equipment.

Ive been using sockets or my HUGE adjustable for anything over that.
Smallest here is about 6-8mm (1/4 +)
