Bought one of these 2 months ago, seemed an ideal tool bag for what I do.

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 11:02:15 -0700 (PDT)
I'm making some ornamental exposed aggregate concrete blocks to match

Something trivial
Fri, 18 Jul 2008 11:02:34 GMT

earth sleeving which I only want 4" of.

conductor of electrical cable ie 1.5,2.5 and 6mm cable?
