Anybody ordered from Rockler before?

I'm impressed - I took my 30 year old ratchet (that someone borrowed without asking, and then used as a hammer) to Gedore in Milnerton. They replaced it there and then, no questions asked, no humming or hawing.

Gedore tools are great. Used to sell them some years ago, and then was a decent replacement to snap on.

Or the Pelican protective cases my cameras live in. My ones' warranty card said: Lifetime warranty, excluding shark bite, bear attack and children under five. Obviously written by a rare lawyer with a sense of humour. They do exist! Twenty years on I had an issue with a latch. They replaced it without even asking for proof of purchase. No hassle. 

 

For the same reason I also stick with Gedore, except that I never broke any of it and never had to test their warranty. Lost some to the borrowers, yes, but never broke anything.,

Took a SnapOn 1/2" ratched to the agents and asked them to look at rhe ratchet as it was slipping. They told me it was a wearing part and not covered by the lifetime warranty. I bought a Gedore replacent...

Does Gedore have a lifetime no questions asked warranty?

As in apart from blatant abuse if one of their tools breaks they'll replace it free of charge?

Pretty much so. Remarkable in this day and age.

How do you swop out broken tools if you are not near a Gedore factory?

Email general@gedore.co.za. They should be able to help.

They do still make them. I saw a new one on Tuesday, but didn't ask the owner what it cost now.

Quick simple little project for one of the D's.......that took much more time and effort (sanding an applying a London oil finish) than expected. Reminded me what an amazing wood walnut is to work with.

 

Offcut walnut from Rare Woods, at a good price too, but it needed some tampering to get it square and flat

Glue, Sand, Jigsaw, quick and easy

Sand, sand, sand and then sand some more

Many, many applications of gun stock oil, lots of rubbing it in  by hand. Could have done more, can always do more. Always fantastic to see the grain come alive

I love Walnut. Just a pity it is so expensive.
