Don't know about the toolkit, but I've just reserved one of these:

'Kinell, that's cheap! Looks like the profit warning has provoked a bit
of a dash for cash at Halfords.

 

Jeez, they'll be cheese, Louise.

 

To house one of these?

Tempted to agree. Cheap crappy tools are almost worse than no tools at
all.

 

<must not bite>

 

I fear it may not be the best quality unit in the world.

I miss my old Machinemart/Clarke cabinet. The Draper one I got from the
insurers isn't nearly as well made.

 

I don't know, a cheap hammer with gaffa tape around the handle is just
as effective as an expensive rubber covered handle one when the blood
begins to flow.

 

I tend to agree, I just bought one of these

Which is a ridiculous price, but when I want it to work, I *really* want
it to work. However, bicycle cone spanner, they can be made out of
cream cheese, because a rough a ready fit, with 3/5ths of fuckall
torque, does the job.

Big socket sets on the other hand, when you have a wrench in one hand a
scaffolding pole in the other...

 

Halfords and Clarkes still persist in stuffing many of their better socket
sets with Imperial sizes, which is ever so slightly annoying, like this

It is? Doesn't everyone have an SO dumper truck to maintain?

 

I bought one similar to that a couple of years ago - basically I wanted
the chest

The tools are fairly poor quality, but for the price, what do you expect
- replace as you go along

 

Rather than reserve a broken link, reserve a tinyurl, they work better

 

No.
HTH

 

You don't know what you're missing out on.

 

Get a man in.

 

Indeed. I got it over the channel this week (no, not Top Gear stylee)
and it's just fun. Now the weather's warmed up I can even start it on my
own without need of an assistant to drop the decompressor. I love the
way it goes, a puff of black smoke about every 10 seconds as it slowly
groans into life.

I haven't quite got the hang of the rear wheel steering yet.
