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.

I'd go for a battery impact wrench too!
any clearance ratchet spanners too! and a 1/4 inch socket set! Wishes for more power...

You're probably better off posting prices of general/popular things like spanners/ratchets/socket sets etc

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.

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

I'd be interested in an impact gun.
Sorry to hear the bad news

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.

My mum has informed me its 10% off all items, I will get a price list of items including the impact guns tomorrow!

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.
