Sadly I've not bought anything with a lion battery....yet. All of my tools were built up over the years as required for house renovations. That's shifted now. Slowly building the arsenal for owning a zook. I'll keep an eye on Gumtree for an industrial drill press. Good thought.

That truggy of sorts build on pirate is amazing. I wonder what options we would have with a Sierra body. Perhaps a Jeep Cherokee base or a mitsy io? Could you put a van body on a LWB Sierra chassis for the ultimate Campervan conversion. makes you wonder. Not that I have any thought of trying something like that.

That's a thorough list you provided, gwagensteve.
Lot of garage work needs to be done this weekend. Anyone here has experience installing a ReadyLift.

A bbig drill press is excellent to have. But i second cutting fluid it makes all the difference o your tools and how fast a hole is cut. Especially hole saws.

I recently used some Trefolex and found it to be amazing.
My brother in law put me onto it and he learnt about it from v8 supercar fabricators..

It's aimed to be used on hand tools but works fantastically on hole saws.
