    Good tool shop in Melbourne east??

    Does anyone know of a good tool shop in the eastern suburbs or Melbourne? I'm now working in Kilsyth and only get 30 mins for lunch so perusing is difficult. There is a great one in dandenong but other than total (expensive) tools in Kilsyth, I don't know of any speciality places..

    TIA

    ... As I am after an M14 spline bit. The strut carrier on the 6r polos have a bolt with that head. WTF was wrong with a normal headed bolt is beyond me.

        Thanks for the suggestions.. Just general tools like a total tools but without the price tag, for those automotive tools that autobarn, bursons and Supercheap auto may not carry (like 3/4" sockets and bars for example, as well as the m14 spline bit I can't find)

        Like these people that I recently found

            Cool thanks for that, ill give them a call. Just went into total tools, no m14 spline bits either, they would have to order one in (if they could read a catalogue *slaps forehead*).

            Always one of those things, I can get it from the UK for about $10 delivered, but when you want it now, you can never find one
