bean_counter replied to Skullytor on Craftright Assorted Tool Kits $9.98 Each @ Bunnings (in Store Only)
Bought a 100+ piece Sidchrome toolchest in 1983 - never needed to replace any of it. Buy quality, take care of it and have it for life.

Does it stack with usual 4 cents per litre discounts you accrue for $30 spend at Woolies?
