Big boys toys and loads of WD40

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

even a crap table saw and a sander can make some fun and useful furniture from scrap- especially considering the khmer penchant for munchkin size stools and tables

Yet you work in hotels, where tool visitors are ubiquitous

I will semi retire in 6-8 month in Cambodia. Now I have a big shed with lots of tools, parts and pieces, 2 classic cars, classic motor and lots of other shit. Cant take it with me.

Yeah, I ll miss that 8-) . But on the other hand .... I dont want to DIY anymore, work at evenings on broken cars and sort out all the shit. :dragonchase:

It will be a big job selling as much as possible and sorting the rest for the scrapyard. :o

Thanks for posting, was trying to find it a couple mths ago but couldn’t bloody remember where it was!
Sorry didn't notice. Was just wandering past. Its got a lot of Bosch stuff and they told me they were official Bosch dealer. it certainly looked like it might be because they carry the big tools as well, and most places don't. They also have a big display of karcher stuff and Makita so I doubt it an be a bosch distributor

Been there,, Done that. I found that no-one will buy the stuff unless it's ten cents cheaper than nothing. I would suggest you bundle some of the stuff up in boxes and store them in someone elses garage for a year or two, then decide what to do with them. Somewhere down the line your going to say , hey, I've got/had one of those , where the fuck is it.
Dont pay for commercial storage as it will cost you more than your junk is worth.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
