Yep, i'll take 2 sets and pay shipping for anyone who wants to get them.
I suggest a co-ordinated buy, that way there would just be one courier package.

+ 1 for me as well. Haven't managed to destroy my fullers socket set yet, even jumping on the end of a long bar on the end of the drive only managed to split the socket and then into mitre 10 for the free replacement lifetime warrenty dohicky - no flucing worries
Assuming the spanners will last longer than it takes me to loose them anyway

Get 15 sets, that'll cover everyone, and I'll buy any left overs.
Revhead to send courier ticket.
Who's going to buy & send them? I can post money onto an account to cover them up front... be good if they were bought tomorrow though.

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.

Let your fingers do the walking lads.
Rang them yesterday and was told its Botany store only and due to excess stock due to an over order in that store.
Got a set sent to my via courier and did it all over the phone using the credit card. Just call the buy-in desk. Simple.

Those are sh*te on any bolts. I bent the body of the spanner and the ratchet mechanism fell apart on the second bolt I tried to undo with them
$16 spanners... no thank you
