I made mine from 50 SHS and scaffold planks. There are some good ones available though. ^^^^
Google “pallet rack workbench”. I used the orange and blue ones without a built in upper shelf. Think I paid under $250 with 10-12mm particle board top and shelf. They are tough and sturdy.
Same here, I used Form Ply as the top as it wipes clean of oils and liquids.Google “pallet rack workbench”. I used the orange and blue ones without a built in upper shelf. Think I paid under $250 with 10-12mm particle board top and shelf. They are tough and sturdy.
Go to Scumtree.Can I get opinions on work benches? What do people use, where did you get them from and how are they set up?
Shit
I recently trimmed the uprights and screwed on an oversized piece of form ply over the top of mine to give me a cleaner and larger workspace. Being able to bolt my vise onto it right at the edge is also a godsend.Same here, I used Form Ply as the top as it wipes clean of oils and liquids.
We still talking work benches?Seems like 200 gets you something decent
Cannot hide the fact that makes me a little chubby in the swimsuit region.Peepz felt sorry for my $50 bunnings shelving and tools thrown in plastic trays.
They bought me this rad tool chest for my bday, which I just had to go OCD with laying out everything in order now.
Pretty stoked!
Still unsure if they just want to make it easier for me to work on their bikes though...

Now, if only the whole country didn’t shut down for a religious day that 10% of the population actually give a shit about. Don’t get me wrong, I want the day off, but why should people who work in retail and hospitality have the same rights as me???
Yep but buy a couple .. for whatever reason the rubber strap starts cracking over time and it's usually on a good friday when you want to work on the bike, that the wrench finally gives upAny strap wrenches from repco, super crap, Bunnings etc ok for little things like dropper post collars, air cans etc? If not, then what’s decent?
But does it go down to 1nm? https://www.rotorburn.com/forums/index.php?threads/confessions-from-the-fuckwits.257029/post-3412355Thinking I want a better Torque wrench than the GT one I have - it also needs to be able to tension in both directions as one nut requires opposite thread. Highest torque I need is 50NM for the bike so would probably look for a 3/8 drive.
I really want to justify buying a digital one like the Milwaukee or similar though - It is 1/2 drive but torques go from 16 - 203 and accuracy is 2% compared to a lot of tools that are 4%
