Default New tools!!

Well I went all out and got a new set of quality tools for the garage. They are made by Facom a French company and although I hate the French these are supposedly just as good as snapon and cheaper, I got them from http://www.ultimategarage.com and they were easy to deal with. The list of parts was already posted. So here are some pics.











I also painted the garage floor of my stall (going to do the rest later this week), it looks very cool and is much easier to work on than regular concrete, got the paint and info from Griots Garage (www.griotsgarage.com).

Well, I was able to see the photos by cutting and pasting the URL into a new browser. Those look sweet, do you mind if I ask you a few questions?

How much did you pay for those tools?
How long did it take to have them shipped to you?
What did you use to paint the floor of the garage?

Thanks

Dude, Facom tools are the $hit! My dad has some from Griots Garage and they are the highest quality tools ive ever seen. I still use craftsman cuz theyre is a free replacement right around the corner. Good luck on replacing any broken Facom tools, gotta send em in

about $2600 for that set of tools. Used paint from Griot's Garage its not really paint but actually epoxy. As far as replacing broken tools since Facom is owned by SK I can just get my local SK dealer to replace them so no biggie.
