Don't bother going to Mt Druitt. Best bet would be to head out to Richmond.
They aren't as busy and the specials often last longer there in my experience.

My local is st marys can't stand the druitt one always looks like a junk shop last time I was there it was almost riot time cause the check out chick called a customer to cut the line cause he had one item

I'm always going to st marys ,Penrith ,Erskine park ,quakers hill store

I picked up a shifter and 2 large nail pincers at st Marys on Wednesday for a whole $1.52 each I think they were 5.99 each when they came out

$1.52 with 3 years warranty ain't bad

I have their metric stubbies. If you paid 10x the price and they had a different name on them you'd still be happy!

For tight spaces, I just have a set of random spanners from various garage sales and markets which I have in a drawer.

When i need a short spanner, I can one of them up, or grind off the edge, or grind down the top to get the fit I need.
