We are finally getting a "men's shed" and the one and only parts and tools supply guy in town, in conjunction with KC Tools, donated a huge tool chest with all brand new spanners and stuff. The retailer also has promised that any machines returned that are not under warranty and not economical to repair labor wise will be sent to the men's shed for them to repair and resell to help fund the shed but secondhand stuff is hard to sell out here even if it is overhauled and running like new. I guess it is the shiny toy syndrome but also being a rural area I guess the tax write off of new machines might make more sense than taking on something with no warranty.
