Motorcycle Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / August 2008Halords offer - free screwdriver set with 5l of oil
http://snipurl.com/3kg18 [www_halfords_com] for the 10W/40 semi-synth bike specific oil There's a wider range available in the car oils, which are fine for BMWs etc with dry clutches http://snipurl.com/3kg1w [www_halfords_com] Prices from £18.99 to £34.99 A poster on ukgser.com states the screwdriver set is from the "professional" range and retails for £19.99  Signaturewessie at tesco dot net BMW R1150GS >http://snipurl.com/3kg18 [www_halfords_com] for the 10W/40 semi-synth bike >specific oil [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >A poster on ukgser.com states the screwdriver set is from the >"professional" range and retails for £19.99 I got this set when they did the offer a while back; I needed oil and they happened to be throwing in the screwdrivers.

Yeah, I love my Snap-On too as you know, but an occasional user isn't going to go out and lay out £200+ on a set. CK's are very hard wearing. > Ask Krusty. VVBG.

They feel just right in your hand. I prefer my Sykes-Pickavant rachet screwdriver to the SnapOn, it has a notch free action and the magnet has not yet fallen out despite getting more use. There is also slightly more space in the handle for bits. Not cheap though. >>>> http://snipurl.com/3kg18 [www_halfords_com] for the 10W/40 >>>> semi-synth bike specific oil [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Nah, I find that using anything other than Snap-On screwdrivers is a > proper ball-ache.

I've held snap on screwdrivers but didn't think they were that remarkable- possibly because I knew they were f.ck-off expensive so was stopping myself finding them desirable. > >> Nah, I find that using anything other than Snap-On screwdrivers is > a >> proper ball-ache.

They don't feel remarkable until you're using them day in day out, then they are just so right. There's never any awkwardness about them.

There's never any awkwardness about them. I do prefer the handles they used on the 80's over the techgrip ones?

I've no idea if Suzuki parts are any better than pattern ones. IIRC, Lozzo is quite happy to fit the HG ones to his fleet, which includes an SV650 or twelve. If they still do the Motul oil & filter off then this might be a cheaper option, unless you really want the screwdrivers.

Lozzo has taken to using genuine filters because they aren't much more dosh than pattern and you know it'll be right. Having seen a report some engineer bod wrote on oil filters a while ago, most pattern ones with an apparently good reputation aren't at all well made or good at their job. Besides, genuine ones are easier for me to get because no-one round here stocks pattern anything anymore. I'd happily use the Halfords oil in an unstressed low revving SV engine, but for something revving to 18,000 rpm or my CBR trackbike I'll always buy something a bit more well known like Putoline or Fuchs.

Cheers DP > Lozzo has taken to using genuine filters because they aren't much more > dosh than pattern and you know it'll be right. Same here. Just as easy to get genuine Kawasaki filters off the shelf for ?5 as send off for patterns. Don't really have the option for the Guzzi. SAAB OE is about the same as decent pattern makes so even the 1985 900 car gets genuine. SignatureSimon |
