I understand, went straight over Sam's head, don't think he meant to sound that much of a c**t, maybe more of a heartless tw*t with low social skills
RE: Closing down.. - MisterGTR - 10-02-2015
Impact Gun/Wrench interest here too.
It's a shame they couldn't make a go of it with ebay/amazon sales to back them up. But so many big players in the market.
Hope they've got something sorted for retirement.

They have a website, but its time consuming uploading all stock they sell so matt different things! And then you need storage for all the items
RE: Closing down.. - Piggy - 10-02-2015
I'd go for a battery impact wrench too!
any clearance ratchet spanners too! and a 1/4 inch socket set!
RE: Closing down.. - Iceman299 - 10-02-2015
You're probably better off posting prices of general/popular things like spanners/ratchets/socket sets etc
RE: Closing down.. - Ruan - 10-02-2015
When do they finally close? I'm going to be going to Cornwall this weekend, but might be able to drop in one day during the week... Few bits I want.
RE: Closing down.. - Frosty - 10-02-2015
I've been in the shop a few times back along. Nice people running it and wasn't to badly priced.
May pop in if i go taunton this weekend

9-5 opening times Monday-Saturday ! Or give them a call if you are after something 01823 336154
RE: Closing down.. - lolsteve - 10-02-2015
It's a shame but thats how the market goes, cheapest wins
Having said that am trying to buy meat from the local market rather than supermarket but the problem is convenience. Cant do a food shop at the market after work as they're closed
RE: Closing down.. - Paul_13 - 10-02-2015
I'd be interested in an impact gun.
Sorry to hear the bad news
RE: Closing down.. - Niall - 10-02-2015
Sorry to see they are having to close. I hate seeing the bigger players killing off the local high street stores but unfortunately thats the way the world is going.
If i had some money, id have a few bits but Greece has more money than me at the moment.
RE: Closing down.. - Tom - 10-02-2015
Also interested in tools pending prices...
RE: Closing down.. - Sian - 10-02-2015
My mum has informed me its 10% off all items, I will get a price list of items including the impact guns tomorrow!
RE: Closing down.. - THE_Liam - 10-02-2015
Gutted to hear this Sian, so many small businesses going under recently, soon we'll be at the mercy of the big, faceless corporations for everything. Proper tool shops are rare, being able to walk in and talk to someone saying "I need to do this, what would you use and do you have it?", can't do that with Amazon

I spent an hour or so chatting to a guy that runs a motor factors in Patrick (Glasgow). I was trying to get my AC pipes to hold together as the spring clip had broken. And then we chatted cars. He's in his 70s so vast knowledge. Same with another guy nearer me. I tell him what I'm trying to do and he helps out.
