Bargain alert!

Picked up this baby yesterday...

It's an SIP 5 gallon parts washer for the tidy sum of £10 brand new. The surprise though, is that it was from Halfrauds! Had to reserve online then pick up but it's reduced from something like £50. Don't think there'll be many left now but worth a look!

1.5hp 7cfm Compressors on the website for £10 too but they all sold out a long time ago! CHECK IT OUT!

Great bargain you snapped up there, there's one left in the Romford store, by the time I pay for petrol not worth it.....

Don't do it!

Buy the biggest compressor you can afford. If you do anything other than blow up tyres with it you will very quickly regret getting anything under 14cfm and 150l capacity......IMO.

I agree. The one that was a tenner was pointless tbh, which is why I didn't reserve one.

There was a sat nav for £20 too but that's been removed now

A good find indeed. Now who was it saying that sales are for poor people?

I'm poor too. Maybe I were wrong...it's bargain hunting that's for poor people as anyone can chance upon a good deal!

Steady on, that's almost a retraction.

What me? Never! :cheesy:

everything good has sold out
but was very cheap

 

[dpsubaru]

hey, perhaps torquecars can find out where its made and buy a job lot so we can all get it for a tenner????

 

[marti5]

Probably a good start would be China...

Ther is a very old saying that is worth repeating..........

You get what you pay for.

Things are usually cheap fpr a good reason. The shop wouldn't be selling them cheap if they could sell them at the original price. They were, therefore, not worth that price so they were re-priced to a their correct worth

Buying cheap tools can be very expensive

The parts washer for £10, however, could well be the exception. One word of warning with these. Be gentle with the flexible spout. The motor casing is not very strong and mine sheared off. I now have an ex-tool hire shop's stand alone unit - an engine block will just fit in it - for £20. Second hand is often a good way of getting quality tools at a cheap tool price - but choose carefully.

I agree and I don't normally buy cheap stuff, but for what it is and for a tenner you can't really go wrong imo.
