The Tool Box Colyton

[David FouracreParticipant @davidfouracre54430]

This is to let you all know that after trying to sell the business for nearly two years, I have taken the very hard decision to close the shop in the near future. I've had almost 25 years of immense fun, handled some superb and fascinating kit, and had the pleasure of meeting an enormous spectrum of folk. However I would like to enjoy a retirement with my wife, children, grandchildren and workshop before the little grey cells get totally addled! The closing sale is now on, and there are some real bargains to be had, so if you happen to be in the area do pop in. In the meantime thank you all for your support and custom, and keep the wheels turning for the future.

Thanks for letting us know David,

I'm sure many others will join in wishing you a happy retirement.

A real shame you couldn't find a buyer.

Do you have an idea how long you will keep the sale going or is it 'while stocks last'?

Thanks Neil. I ain't be closing the door around the end of October, but to some degree it depends on how the remaining stock clears.

I looked on your web site David and it seems to show only latest additions, might be worth posting a typed list on the site no pics just what you have and a price. It would give many people a chance call you if there is something of interest.

Cheers John

Hi John

To list everything on the Web site would I'm afraid be well-nigh impossible! Suffice to say that with very few exceptions, all tools are 1/3 off, all unpriced drills, taps, dies and milling cutters are 50p each, all ME/E in M loose issues 10p , MEW loose issues 50p, ME/E in M bound volumes £3, and all other books 1/2 price.

Hope this clarifies things!

Hello David,

A friend has just suggested that I go to your shop to buy things for the new Men's Shed in South Petherton. He didn't know that you are closing down! Is it too late? Best wishes, Helen Beaufoy
