Marvin Boggs Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Discovered a shop just yesterday that deals in USA surplus TOOLS. Hallelujah, angels are dancing in heaven. Gonna shop there frequently. I have found the local LOTUS brand tools to be fairly decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expatuk2014 Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 I have bought both Lotus and Stanley tools from Ace Hardware and Robinsons Handyman. And as we have building work done on a regular basis we give our old tools to the workers ! Lesson learned when we had our home here built ! There is a brand here called Millwaukee which is avail in surplus stores not sure if they are US made , there is no CE marks on them. And as we all know everything is made in China these days both fake and the Genuine ones ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Support Tommy T. Posted September 24, 2019 Forum Support Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) There seems to be a lot of interest here, so maybe it's time to start a new topic here... Tools? So I will do that now... Maybe it will fly, maybe not... https://www.philippines-expats.com/topic/30942-tools-in-the-philippines/ Edited September 24, 2019 by Tommy T. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see more Toyotas here in Davao than any other manufacture - by far! There are lots of the Fortuners, Hi-Lux, Innovas and others. I would venture to say that probably 80% - or even more? - of the taxis seem to be Toyota Vios - all with stick shift. If you are looking for a car that can be serviced and that there should be available parts, I would consider a Toyota. I bought a Mazda that's now 14 years old and dumped a few US$ thousand into it to fix up those once-in-a-car's-lifetime ailments. It has been trustworthy but difficult to get some parts and tougher all the time do to the old age of the machine. Next car or SUV for me will be a Toyota... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
