Tim Watson

Around Smoko time this morning at 9.30, opens up the back of his van and says, hey, whiskers, come over here.

Cast your immune spies on these.

Half price.

Would you buy the half price tools at Smoko this morning if you're off?

They're brand new.

They've only been used a couple of times.

Tell us how it happens out there, you tradies who are listening this morning.

Give us the idea of what happens here because there must be a market because it's happening over and over and over.

Maybe they just put it on Facebook.

What is it called?

Facebook market or whatever it is.

how they sell it and does that happen how Tim suggests that some dodgy van just turns up on a work site and you can go and help yourself to a nail gun or an angle grinder or a couple of hammer drills I know maybe there's some sort of dark market thing force at work here too where you put an order in one day and

This is what you're after.

And then somebody goes and steals it and supplies you with it two days later.

It's funny.

And then the insurance for these tools.

Ridiculous.

I'm told.

Tom tells me they're through the roof.

So you can't really insure them because it costs the prohibitive cost of it.
