That is not a mahogany toolbox, its made from birch ply that's been stained.

Ah well, in that case I'll pass that one by. Pity, it's got a bodkin in it. My wife is always complaining that I pinch her bodkin.

Have you seen the travelling champagne cabinet? £2605 per and you have to buy your own champagne!!!!!!

 

[doctor Bob]

They are actually quite nice, I ordered all the guys one, one in my garage, one under the sink in case of emergencies, one for my son, and a couple of spares not bad for £52000.







I'm joking

This is what you buy as a gag gift for someone with lots of money who has never even changed a lightbulb before (assuming you also have lots of money).

Well I have reported them to trading standards for false advertising and lying about their goods.
I hate these sort of companies, pretentious shills

That'll be what the manufacturer told them. Mr Porter is a fashion storefront - I bought my work trousers and jacket from them, and they've turned out to be excellent value - though I wouldn't say the same about this.

They can't wiggle out of it as they mention Mahogany THREE times in the ad.

Well that’s like an incantation then. So it must be true.

Is mahogany a colour or wood from a particular type of tree. I'm sure they would insist on the former.

It is a genus of tree and if they insist on it being mahogany then the are trading in a CITES banned wood and are classed the same as ivory poachers

Lovely polished head on the end of his shaft
Talking about the hammer

 

[baldkev]

i tried to order one but theres a 2 week lead time..... guess I'll go to toolstation

 

[Johnwa]

Surely one for the shiny tool collectors, or Gollum maybe

 

[clogs]

those lovlies that can afford such couldn't use the tools anyway...

Had a neighbour in France....a retired Major, UK army.....
his wife asked if I could show him the proper way to hold and use a hammer....!!!
that tool kit sounds like it's just for him...

 

[Keefy.]

We could all club together and buy it as a leaving gift for Boris, no?

No offence intended.
