white90 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 yes Darth ordered a load previously I use them to hold the bow saw on my rear door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthdicky Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) Yeah I had a load sent over from the US a while ago. They're well made and useful for various things, although I only use them to hold a MagLite in my 90. I was thinking of holding a Hi-Lift in the tub with them, but ended up putting that behind the seats where the normal jack was kept. I've got 2 pairs of the MagLite sized ones sitting by my desk here, I think I got the price down to about £7 - £7.50 a pair at the time (Scorpion were charging £9.99+VAT&Postage!), if you're after some? Edited to add: I got them from here, and there's some instructions on how to mount them on the site which may be useful.

LR90 Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 Their online ordering couldn't price shipping to the UK. I'd be interrested in the ones you have but may still try and get a set in the larger size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I've used loads of them on my landy Trev, holding everything from spare half shafts, the pick, and the wheel brace to maglite torchs, a bow saw and the loppers. I wholeheartedly recommend them. Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I would be interested in some too, if anyone fancies organising a group buy (even if it just to save on shipping...) Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it comes to that I'm quite happy to look at buying a few extra and share any savings. Will update when I have some news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 is anyone got any experience of Quick Fist And me too. Like all simple ideas they're just great. I got them in both the sizes,even the big ones. The small ones keep the Jackall in place,and the big ones hold the MB lorry air reservoir. When I ordered mine,a while before DD IIRC, Don was kind to offer me free shipping if I had buy a few more. I think you can easily save some pennies doing a group buy. His email is (was): donpolak@endroad.com Good shopping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Divster Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Got a pair holding my shovel in the rear tub. I would recommend them. Looking at the fitting instructions, it mentions a plastic washer (supplied). Well they weren't (supplied) when I got mine from a certain North London supplier.

McS Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Yep, I've got some on my motor and I think my lad's used some on the Tomcat. Why not save yourselves some hassle and get them from here - shouldn't be too far away from you Trev and Paul's a first-class bloke to deal with.

I have the spade/axe/saw inside in the nice and warm I think this one will live inside unless I'm in the landy as it has a nice yellow shiney bit which could attract the wrong sort Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diff Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I think this one will live inside unless I'm in the landy as it has a nice yellow shiney bit which could attract the wrong sort Mo If you want a really cheap pointed spade, raid the garden shed, and take a 9 inch angle grinder to any spade you find in there! Works for me. Regards, Diff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divster Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I got mine from Anchor supplies (just up the road from me) Anchor £5.50 for a small and £6.50 for a large you can't go wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headhunter Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 I got mine from Anchor supplies (just up the road from me) Anchor£5.50 for a small and £6.50 for a large you can't go wrong I use a long handled Irish version called a "Feck" originally used for cutting peat for the fire. Now where the feck is the ....."peat cutter"! The long handle is a great back saver but of course more difficult to mount across the front of the vehicle. I suppose it's about 5' long.
