Default Ideas for group buys??

I'm sure that plenty of us are looking for parts / tools / stuff to help us look after our cars.....

Any ideas for group buys that could deliver us some REAL savings - I'm not going to get in on a brake pad group buy if I'm only going to save $5 off RRP, which will be eaten up by postage costs!!!

I wouldn't mind seeing what deal could be done on torque wrenches!!!

I'm sure we all have suggestions?

I'd be up for a torque wrench as well as extractors. It would be great if we could resurrect the ICE ignition group buy that never took off, i need some new leads desperately!!

What brand torque wrenches would you be looking at & sizes? We have access (are distributors) to Norbar & Warren & Brown thru work.

Are they made in australia? We had a calibration company tell us they come from the same factory in the usa as some of the snap on torque wrenches.

I don't care either way they are great quality. I have one of the ratchet types in 1/2 dr.

Any Sidchrome or Stanley dealer can do ABW mate. We sell both brands. They are owned by Stanley.
