Over on a well know detailing thread, they have recently run a Group Buy (which is now ended) on these from the US.

As i missed the boat on this GB, it got me wondering what is available in the UK and what other people use to store their detailing products using a similar bag.

These are pretty good/similar, I have a heavy duty conventional toy/storage box for all my gear.

where was the top bag from anyone know!! anyone thinking of running another group buy on it?

i'd be up for one

Me, me , me

For the top bag :norty:

I think they worked out at around £50 each. Apparently the supplier doesn't like selling abroad much because of all the taxes etc.

If we do run another GB, i notice there is at least 3 from ESC here who are interested, this is easy enough to cover as once delivered from the US there is no forward posting, just collection.

I will make an enquiry with the supplier and see where we go from there.

Having said that, i need to visit B&Q and Halfords, because apparently they have similar bags, for a fraction of the cost.

Probably not as good as the above image, but its a storage bag at the end ofthe day, not a fashion accessory i guess.

This is the B&Q one fully loaded from someone who as already bought one.

You used your new toy yet Phil ?

ust had a look on the B&Q website may be this (http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=9380705&fh_start_index=24&fh_sort_order=-1&fh_sort_by=_price_rrp_min&fh_location=%2f%2fcatalog01%2fen_GB&fh_search=bag&fh_eds=%c3%9f&fh_refview=search&ts=1199027904164&isSearch=true) although no picture, description sounds right though

Also found this (http://www.diy.com/diy/jsp/bq/nav/nav.jsp?action=detail&fh_secondid=9676966&fh_start_index=12&fh_sort_order=-1&fh_sort_by=_price_rrp_min&fh_location=%2f%2fcatalog01%2fen_GB&fh_search=bag&fh_eds=%c3%9f&fh_refview=search&ts=1199027989030&isSearch=true), looks equally as good.

Yup, they're the ones i have seen and look OK. Will visit B&Q tomorrow for a closer inspection.

Its unfortunate that the US ones are only $35 (£17.50) its the postage and import taxes etc that make them so expensive :(

that blue one above looks just as gud!! might pop to b&q to have a look....

arhh local b&q not got one!!!!

arhh local b&q not got one!!!!

God dammit nors mine :brickwall :brickwall :brickwall

I use one large box for the products and a smaller one for the MF cloths/mitts etc...

I just got them in an odd and ends shop where I used to live. I think they where about £8 and £6 respectively iirc.

Who is the US supplier? This is something I have been looking at for our store, and I dare say with our bulk buying power and trade freight rates we could end up offering them for a good price... :)

Polished Bliss - Message left on answaphone :)

polished bliss let us know how you get on with this......

Tissy - cheers, I'll get back to you later today (working from home just now, into the unit this pm).

I'll do my best on this folks, it looks like a nice piece of kit and I've been looking for something like this for ages for the store.

:)

Thanks mate, i have details of the bag supplier, plus i need to ask you about some other supplies that i need.

Speak later.
