27/12/1982 - I wrote the date on when I bought it as I tended to do in those days. That makes it 31 years old I was still living near Beverley then. How time flies. £2.19 equates to about £6.50 today so checking on line at £13, it's increased by twice the rate of inflation.

Thanks for all the comments guys. I have another 4 kits so hopefully by the time I get to the last it will be a lot better. I'm part of a large family so I know once the word gets around I'll suddenly be very popular.
Might not tell anyone:wink:

I've found an old type C toggle clamp in a drawer so thinking about turning it into a press maybe!
