2525.0. "Good motor factors in Reading?" by CHEFS::BRIGGS_R (they use computers don't they) Thu Jun 20 1996 14:22

    
    Anyone know of a good motor factors in Reading? What I'm looking for is
    somewhere that sells 'professional quality' tools. The sort of place a
    garage may get its tools etc from.

Wokingham tools on the Wokingham Rd, heading East out of Reading.
They sell Facom tools, Facom are supposed to be the best. Not cheap.

    	Alternately, there is the company from whom Field Service used to
    get all their tool kits on the Oxford Road almost opposite the Butts
    Centre (now The Broad Street Mall, of course.  I am going back years!)
    called Sarjeants Tools.  They moved years ago to Richfield Avenue and
    changed their name to something that I can't remember now, but they
    sell good quality tools.

re.2:

Many years ago I went to Sarjents for a piston ring compressor - they didn't
know what one was. I've never been back.

    There is the toolshop in Richfield Avenue just as Malcolm has said, but
    there is another in the little estate between Richfield & Cardiff Roads

2525.5How's about Snap-on?BPSOF::BROWNChris BrownMon Jul 01 1996 15:376
    I always used to buy my 'good' tools from the Snap-on mobile shop.
    
    Logistics can be a little difficult if you don;t have a good contact
    garage, though.
