Yes thanks, random question.
Do you mean you want one and you want some recommendations?!
You got tools already or you need them as well? There's some good Clarke stuff at Machine Mart - http://www.machinemart.co.uk/ranges.asp?g=111&r=2073

The hand tools are OK and cheap enough if you're buying them like that in the box already.
Not really used machinery by them apart from the 3 wheel engine stand which is steady enough for a valver.

Pug Nut, why are you saying Clarkes are good because your Dad's an engineer that uses DeWalt? When can we be reunited?
