Model Engineering In Thailand and South East Asia

This Is One Batch Of Tools I Am Importing To My Model Engineering Workshop In Thailand From My U.K. Workshop

The tools were sent to me by my son, Alex, by U.K. Royal Mail (Parcel Force) and as of writing this the parcel has arrived at EMSEVT LAKSI MAIL CENTRE in Bangkok at 0503 this morning.

This is the list of tools I asked Alex to send me. I made this list from memory since I know where I keep everything and what I am missing most in my model engineers workshop here in Pakchong (Pak Chong), Thailand.

Please note this batch is in addition to the tools I already have and another batch of tools I ordered directly from RDG tools in the U.K.

 1. Tap& Die Set Metric NormalWhere: Office. “Plastic drawers”” on floor near bookcase.

These will be one size in each drawer. Each draw should have one drill, one die and two taps. They will be marked something like M10, M11 etc.One or two of the draws will have a white Label saying something like M10, M11.The range will be from about M3 to M12.
