Re: Best way to ship my hand tools
Just wondering wht would be the best way to ship my hand tools. Im an electrician so there will be my best hand tools,drill and test meters. Maybe 20-25kg weight wise. Was going to put it in my luggage but not sure i can fit it all in. We arnt shipping any other gear and i could probably manage without them until we go(use my old gear). Any ideas???

Re: Best way to ship my hand tools
you can always send some stuff to my house if you want mate. i wouldnt pack to many clothes. the last time i wore a pair of jeans was 2 years ago in blighty.you dont need jumpers, shoes, or any of the heavy stuff. i wouldnt bother bringing a jacket either. just pack a couple of extra bags and when people come and visit over the next few years get them to bring stuff out for you. i would just bring the drill and the meters and maybe your favourite screwdriver (wonder if thats just me or do all sparks have a favourite driver).oh and bring a tool belt if you have one and you could just put all the heavy stuff in your hand luggage because as far as i know they dont weigh that.
I keep forgetting that we wont need any warmer clothes. I might have a packing test run! So much for a nice birthday had a call out at 2am and just got back from another, gona be one of them days!

Just incase anyone was interestd i filled out the form for shipping my tools with excess baggage.com, a guy rag me today i put down for a small chest 25kg and door to door service. worked out £95 with insurance of £600. I thought that was fairly good. Thats by sea, 8 weeks max.
