Dishwashers...

Slidey

Who woulda thunk they had more than one purpose...




Need my tools spotless to get through customs in Australia. Needs must

Dishwashers are very good for cleaning engine parts too:P

Are you emigrating?

Jaysus you would want to give it a empty run afterwards.. I washed a boiler suit that had spills of gear oil on it.. You could smell the gear oil in the washing machine after..

Looks like my dishwasher...OI!

No update from the OP. Lets hope the oul pair haven't buried him under the patio for wreaking their dishwasher.

Slidey

Believe it or not, the old lady didn't hit the roof.

It did a very good job on the screwdrivers and the likes. The spanners not so much and the sockets a little worse again.

Ended up doing some of them with a dishwasher tablet dissolved in boiling water.

All cleaned and dry now, and lightly oiled to stop them rusting. Decided my trusty sykes box was beyond cleaning so have ordered a new one

I got nabbed by my ex cleaning parts in the dishwasher, it didn't end well for me. Them Eastern European women can be a bit nuts

Best of luck in Australia Slidey, didn't know you were heading off

Best of luck, great country they have there.

O.A.P

You have been there before I think? anyway best of luck and dont forget we will still need your advice now and again.;)

Slidey

Anyway, just an update incase anyone else wanted to do this.

Air freight cost €520 and there was a handling fee of $87 on this side. All got here safe and sound.




While I am here...



This is 2 600 BHP C18s in a machine that the company I am working for has sold.

Good stuff Slidey I have a brand new Halfords topbox and thats what Im going to ship the tools in. I'll try squeeze as much as I can in it, got a quote for around €600 - €700. Who did you ship it with and did it take long?

Slidey

Multi cargo in Santry.

Ask for Lindsay, you can tell her I sent ya.

Took 3 days to get here. You will need to have a detailed inventory of everything in the box and it has to be clean.

My box was stuffed to bursting and weight 94 kilo. After pallet etc its shipping weight was 110 I think

No are they good:p:D

I would never have thought of putting anything other than dishes in a dishwasher, then the wife came along and demonstrated that just about anything can go in there. Had a close call last week with painting stuff though.

Halfords tools are great, I have one of their 197 (or whatever) briefcase toolkits, dunno what I'd do without it now. I think the only thing I had to toss as tat was the torch.

They are as good any any other normal tool box IMO.

I have my tools in a combination of Teng and Halfords boxes. The Halfords ones are nearly 5 years old and are still perfect.

Company loaned me the trolley. They make large ones with inflatable tyres for everyone but the welder is flat to the mat at the minute.

I put my employers address on it but you have to go and collect it from the depot which is out at the airport. You get given paperwork at the freight company, bring it to customs and then from there to AQIS which will decide wether they want to inspect it or not.

In my case they didn't, they just stamped the forms and then I could go back and collect the box

Hey Plug, just wondering did you ship your box out? A mate of mine out here is also thinking of sending his out as well.

Hows the work going for ya here?
