alligoat Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Here's a good starter set- I've had mine for a year now and I'm still using it: EDIT REMOVED http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B0007VDN6K/re...4052484-8367302 These aren't the greatest tools, but they're a good starting place Then you can buy the good screw drivers, Bergeon Rolex case back opener, etc. as you need them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Hey aligoat, Don't make it too easy for the punters, make 'em search, and go in thru the links at the top, That way the board benefits And to any out there looking at tools, a little bird tells me that a great offer may be coming up in the tools department pretty soon, so don't be too quick on pulling the trigger. Offshore PS Have removed that link, search thru our Amazon links guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 PS Have removed that link, search thru our Amazon links guys. Why not just use the amazon affiliate programme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Well offshore, I didn't realize the board was in such bad shape. My apologies. And I do think you should explain your little bird offer, it's really poor form to lead people on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 alligoat, The board is not in "such bad shape", but every little bit helps. And to that end we will soon be putting up a raffle for a whole bunch of tools, which some may care to enter. I would just hate to think that someone had gone out and purchased a tool kit, and then saw the raffle a few days later! BTW, Thats a pretty good looking kit, at a good price, and if your screwdrivers are still holding up after a year, the quality must be OK.

Offshore Then why not let him post the damn link -- some of us have better things to do with our time than search for things that others would like to show us. Removing a link that someone took time to post is pretty bad form, if someone were to ask me for my opinion. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Well I am a little taken aback with the "bad form" message, I beleived it was in the best interest of the board, and therefore the members to access our ads thru the Amazon affiliate link. However, so that I don't offend anyones sensibilities, here is the link direct. http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/B0007VDN6K/re...4052484-8367302 Offshore And have readded it in the original post!!!

KB Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Well there you have it folks you can fork out 60 bucks on this set (which I admit is cheap) or use your loose change to buy a couple of raffle tickets in our forthcoming raffle.

What you should have done was added the forum's Affiliate tag to the link. Then you'd make REAL money from people that bought it. That's just my opinion, though.

offshore Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Puggy If I knew how, and where the tag was, I would have done so. But having not been schooled on those niceties, I just did the best I could... under the circumstances. Nuff said, my last post on the matter.

I'm not blaming you, this is something that can be added as a parser by Admin, I presume. A simple regex to add the affiliate tag to every Amazon link posted. Not too hard. Anyway, carry on, nothing to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I hate items w/ user ratings like that-two people give 5 stars and two give 1--which could mean 2 people who work for the company who makes or sells it, v. two people who work for a different company that sells something similar; two people who know what they're doing and two who don't (but which is which?); or 4 idiots who know notheing either way. But for 60 bucks, wtf...that's what a high end set of screwdrivers costs at some websites... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everythingape Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 yeah, and the woman saying "it is not designed for a homeowner.would not recommend it." obviously wanted something to fix her stove with.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
