Really cheap, the tools may be cack but it's more or less the same price for one of those drawer units alone! wondered if it'd be any use to someone...

i had a look at the stuff on saturday and believe it or not the sockets on a rail are not to bad they are those 6 sided ones.

that's good! even if it's monkey metal it'll be harder to wreck with it having 6sides

Worth it for the box and the screwdriver bits alone

I've decided to pick one of these up tomorrow, so thanks. Probably not the best kit in the world but for my limited skill and knowledge they're probably just about right.

Mine has lasted 7 years so far and I have only sheared the 10mm sockets by being a muppet with them,
Ok I have lost half the little bits but its still my main toolbox

Halfords one at double the price - double the quality? doubtful I guess, but one for the posh lot.
