Ok, so we know the US is cheap for tools, especially with the exhange rate, but this is plain ridiculous!

I just bought this:
http://www.hugediscountmall.com/Car-Engine...-Crane_p948.htm

It's a goodyear branded 2-ton folding crane, with ball-bearing wheels that will fit under a very low mini, nice high reach, and comes with an engine load leveller aswell!

How much did i just pay? $124. That's about £77 after tax*surprised*





And it get's better!

A 1hp, 5/8" chuck, 12spd Pillar drill by hitachi, for $200 - about £121 after tax.




How the fudge do they make, box, ship, distribute, sell these for this price - and still make money on them??? I've no idea, but fuggit - I'm happy!
