i aint got it yet. im gonna get it tonight.
i'll check the prices of the sockets. but i need to get the impact wrench as well.
dunno wether to be safe and get it from machine mart or halfords with the trade card.
or get it from ebay.
other problem is that no impact sockets sets come with a 30mm socket. let me know what u find, but they aint that expensive in machine mart.

ohh and no u cant borrow it.
but feel free to come and use it.
if u r gonna get any stuff for it then get 1/2 inch!

i will ask him about the socket set.

Me and dom are getting the compressor. i dont want anything for that, just grab a few sockets. sounds fair to me and u can use it when ever u need it.

any luck job hunting?
