It is days like today that I am so pleased that I sell Hand Tools. Having always enjoyed a toolbox brimming with Hand Tools I am still amazed at how few I really have when it comes to doing a specific 
job. Today I made use of a 9pc Torx Star Bit Socket Set, with a 3/8" drive and a 33pc Security Screwdriver Bit Set 
to replace the circuit board in my washing machine. I remember when security attachments for screwdriver or socket bars were a specialist tool, and didn't people pay for this fact! I feel that I have saved myself about a hundred pounds on this job alone today. The Hand Tools performed magnificently and the whole job only cost me £40 (including the purchase of the Hand Tools).For a great selection of other Sockets and Torx bits click here.
Here at toolsandleisure we have sold Moccasin Slippers for many years. We are a family run business and are originally from the West Country where sheepskin products are infamous in this area. We sell two different styles of slipper, fur-lined and cotton lined. Both are equally popular but from feedback received for a variety of reasons.
Fur lined Moccasin Slippers seem to be very popular at particular times during the year. Its plush acrylic lining giving comfort and warmth, and many customers comment on having a pair permanently in their caravan or motorhome. Colours have changed over the years with the introduction of pink, navy blue and plum to complement the tradition tan, or beige colour. Available in sizes 3-8 these slippers are an excellent, locally manufactured product.We have been selling the Cotton Lined version of Moccasin Slippers for a few years now as an alternative to those who require a normal temperature slipper. This is by no means saying that they are not warm just not as warm as the original, making it an all year round item of footwear.These Moccasin Slippers are a genuine swede upper with a padded cotton tartan lining and an outdoor PVC sole. Sizes available are 3-8. Colour: Navy blue, plum and beige.
At toolsandleisure we stock a variety of different products but one of our most popular sellers are reflectors, both self adhesive and self attach.
We were recently contacted by Simon (Wilts) a 2nd time customer to see if we could source a round self adhesive reflector in red, amber and clear, rear, side and front respectively. Well we have manged it. The new range of reflectors are now in stock and are proving to be as popular as the rectangular range. Please tell us where you use them outside of trailers, motorhomes and caravan.
Happy shopping and remember, if there is anything else we can source for you please contact us.
Update: New reflectors, increasing the range are now in...why not take a look.
The versatile clips...but what do you use them for? I have often wondered why we sell so many of these clips and pins. I know of a few uses for R Clips such as retaining shaft collars onto a main shaft, fixing wheels to shaft etc but what else? Also, Lynch pins, yes they are used in caravan stabiliser units and agriculture but what else? Another interesting point is that they vary so much in price, just enter and search on google shopping and you can pay up to 30p each plus VAT for a Lynch pin, we sell 4 for £1.00, whether 8mm or 6mm, and 25p each for an R-clip, we sell bundles of 10 for only £1.00.
It has been a wish of mine for sometime now to create this blog...and here it is. Hello to you all and welcome. Tools and Leisure.co.uk is now 5 months old, but the business of travelling the UK working on vintage steam rallies, agricultural shows, RV and caravan shows is coming up to its 35th year.
In that time we have met so many wonderful people with such a wealth of experience of working with some wonderful vintage machinery...to those with a 60' Motorhome that travel the UK until it is time to go back to Spain. It would seem a real shame if we could not provide a place for all this knowledge to be thrown.I hope that with time these excellent people will contribute to this blog, and I trust that others will enjoy reading/sharing/contributing to its content. Thank you to all our visitors for your support. Please feel free to contact us for any reason and at any time.
