nikpro Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Following on from another thread, I'm about half way through the bodywork stage and thought it would be interesting to see what people find the most usefull tools for building a Westie. Up to now I have found my collection of air tools; especially the body saw exceptional but the Good Old Dremmel has really come into its own on the Bodywork. Dremmel Multi = No1 choice for me.

DickieB Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Barney No I didn't. Have to say though, my second Leatherman hasn't been too troubled recently - opening envelopes, removing staples, cutting Sellotape etc. My first one suffered more in Bosnia for some reason? Don't you just love desk jobs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
