what are some tools that were worth the price tag?

[telectrix]

You mean shoot out to order, right? Or is that only the mancs these days?

just the mancs. us Scousers defeat our enemies (especially MUFC supporters, most of whom have 2 brain cells apiece, in constant conflict) with our superior intelligence.

Hence why I'm on the waiting list for new set of knees

I feel your pain. I've both hips (eventually) to be done, two knackered knees, an already rebuilt shoulder and a F'kd elbow. Oh, and a split vertebrae in my back. Youth - it's wasted on the young!

Somerset cider helps to ease the pain. which reminds me..... can't find Addlestons on draught anywhere. 4 years of withdrawal symptoms. nearest I can find is Old Rosie, a poor substitute in one of my locals and at £4.75 a pint, unaffordable.

Approach the brewery? See how much they'd charge by the keg and get your own draught system setup.

I quite like Old Rosie. But I find that if I drink a lot of it I fall over.

Hard to find a pint of anything round here at under that price!

selection of real ales in The Swinging Witch (Northwich town centre). under £3/pint. large bap for £1.50. no wonder all the pensioners and doleites get in there. cheap day out.

Ouch....hope we don't turn this thread into a who has got it worst.

Left knee, missing chuck of bone at base of femur due to high impact fall, right knee torn and inflamed patella tendon along with early stage of arthritis. Both knees swell up with any form of high impact, could be as simple jumping of a step or if directly loaded e.g. kneeing down on hard surface or kneeling for long periods. Takes approx 2~3 months for swelling to go down - They've given up draining my knees when this happens. Only being like this for the last 14years and need to wait at least 10 more before knee replacements - photos of damage can be provided to scar(e) the young.

Partially detached bicep tendon left shoulder, golfers elbow right and left (don't even play golf), and ongoing back issues. I just live with the constant pain and can easily tell when a cold front is coming in - (small violin playing in the background). Worst of all, I'm now I'm follicly challenged. Still it could be worse, I could have been a PLUMBER ?

Lesson to the young out there, look after yourselves, as you are not invincible, like some of older folks thought we were when we were young.

Next injury I incur I'm sure they'll just put me down. ?

I was born with a VSD that has kept me from doing the thing I wonted most in life and that is flying commercial, but with advancing years Arthritis has caused more problems, so none of you are alone in this, just grin and put up with it, and stop complaining, load of wimps. ?

Amen to that!

Some nasty stuff........
Bone wise, I've had more 'breaks' than a lazy plumber.
Nearly as many operations as the SAS.
If you wanna talk about knackered knees.....2019/2020, both total replacements within 6 months, basically knackered through sport and work.

20ft up a ladder for hours, yesterday. Hard work working low down, though.

I think the “tools worth the price” sounding more like a well stocked first aid kit.

30 years on the tools and never broken anything. Only occasional flesh wounds.
Some joints creak and groan, and I’m not so bendy as I used to be for getting into small spaces.

"Cost next to nowt and not used for a good while, but yesterday, a quick search of the toolbox found me a little 3.5mm re threading tap driver to sort out a crossed back box screw fixing. Extremely useful."
