At toolsandleisure.co.uk we aim to sell useful and practical products, most of which we use ourselves so can see the benefits. As a keen motorhome enthusiast, come rain or shine we go away. As this bank holiday was extremely wet it gave me the chance to make a few minor repairs to my motorhome. A problem that has bugged me for some time has been the fat splash guards on the cooker and how they will constantly rattle when on a journey. All things have been tightened, which took about two hours, but this did not solve the problem. So how do you stop things rattling? Well the only thing to hand was a roll of Non-Slip Matting, 2 minutes later no rattles. This matting is so versatile and I constantly keep finding uses for it. I use the Non Slip Matting mainly for keeping things in the cupboards from moving around when on the road, yet it keeps my phone on the dashboard and stops internal loose fit carpets from moving.

Non-Slip Matting-multiple uses

3m Tape Measures
At toolsandleisure.co.uk we stock DIY Hand Tools, Leisure Products and Moccasin Slippers, but on a few occasions now we have been surprised with increased sales in a particular section of our website. This month has seen a growth in 3m measuring tapes (tape measures). Average sales went through the roof and we have had 
to restock three times already this month. As a way of ascertaining this increased trend we contacted a few customers with regards of their use and were surprised by the uniformity of responses.
Mr Judd from West Sussex wrote "My wife and I are in the process of buying a new caravan...so many dealers...so many types...we take the tape measure to measure things like bed width and shower room because it is so difficult to visualise a space from just pictures...the tape we got from you was cheap and lightweight...perfect"

Pay cheap...Pay twice?
It is an old saying, but it is something that I have read and heard recently from many customers regarding Tent Pegs. At toolsandleisure we aim to stock quality products and sell them at affordable prices, and Tent Pegs are no exception. We do not sell bags of 100 flimsy pegs that will bend with one hit of a Rubber Mallet, but we stock strong Pegs, in both 4pc Large, and 5pc Small all for £1.00 per set. We sell many of these per week and have several repeat customers - and as an keen motorhome enthusiast I use them constantly and can highly recommend them. Happy shopping!

Away in the Motorhome - My essentials
An absolutely glorious bank holiday weekend. Perfect weather. Saturday morning (early) I packed the motorhome and away to the traditional bank holiday seaside. As an experienced motorhome enthusiast everything is second nature when packing the van, but I always makes sure I have my essentials. The following items are my essentials that I take with me. 1. Latex gloves - when it comes to the end of the weekend these are essential for that toilet!!
2. Descent tent pegs - a must to stop awning intruders (not fellow campers!)
3. Rubber mallet - try getting the wind break poles in without one
4. S Hooks - perfect for hanging on the awning poles to dry all those swimming costumes
5. Multi purpose spirit level - in order to have a level van and a good nights sleep
My essentials...tell me yours?
