News Letter #17
June July 2002  

It has been some time since we produced one of our newsletters.  To make up for this we have a great competition. The prize is SIX DAYS free accommodation at a holiday location or a couple of days at different locations.  More to follow in the competition section. 

Kate.  Have you met our new member of staff, Kate?  Next time you are in the area, stop by and say hello to her.   

A Bit of History

                Did you know that we were in Hunter Street for over 10 years?  The company has been in operation for 33 years, first opening our doors in 1969. In the years that Mitchell's have been open, we have moved the business from Lane Cove to Artarmon to Hornsby. This was our fourth move;  Christine says that we are never moving again.

We have now been in Leighton Place for 18 months and we are still settling in.  Some items are yet to find a permanent home.  We still have jobs left from our original to-do list.

   SAFE POUR

                Have you seen the stand in our shop with the plastic drum on it?  This is the Safe Pour Stand, manufactured in Western Australia.  It is available in Galvanized or Stainless Steel.  This great invention makes the decanting of liquids etc from bulk containers into smaller amounts safe and easy.  No more spills or costly compo claims from twisted and pulled backs hurt whilst lifting and pouring.  

Priced at $160.oo incl GST.

HAZET tools from Germany 

now available through us

The HAZET range comprises mainly sockets, wrenches, torque tools, pliers, pullers, body and fender tools, screw and stud extractors, bits, trolleys, cabinets as well as many automotive and aviation tools.

HAZET tools come with a 25 year warranty on workmanship and materials.  Unlike many other brands, HAZET wrenches are mat chrome plated for a number of reasons.

Ø      Mat chrome plating is considered the most enduring chrome plating (adheres to the steel in the best possible way)

Ø      It gives a better grip to the tools, even with oily hands, and

Ø      It is unobtrusive and more secure as there is no reflection from the tool surface.

HAZET manufactures also many company specific tools for some of the best-known car manufacturers such as BMW, VW, Daimler-Chrysler, Porsche, Toyota etc.

Push-in Tube fittings

We have also added some more tube and pipe fittings to our range.  As well as the brass screwed fittings, the flare and olive compression types, we now stock a range of push-in fittings.  They have a PVC body and the threaded parts are turned from brass. These are available in both metric and imperial sizes.  We also have available metric tubing, ranging from 4mm to 10mm in blue polypropylene;  this complements our black imperial nylon tubing.

AIR TOOLS

            We always receive a number of requests for power tools.  We are unable to help you with these. . . but .

            We stock a couple of brands of Air Tools.  These are Kawaski and Shinano Pneumatics tools.   Both of these are made in Japan. We also stock Trax brand tools made in Taiwan.

Come on in and have a look see.  We should be able to come up with the right tool at the right price to suit your needs and budget.

Naturally, we can also supply all the tubing and fittings to put your air supply together.  We have air compressors, filters, regulators, the fittings and the tools, plus all the other bits and pieces, as well as compressor and air-tool oils, as well as good ideas.
