Not bad, drawers are a bit funny though. My top drawer pops out slightly when the lid is closed.

Overall cheap but loads of useful stuff to have about for the odd job and all in a place where you know where it is! No opening the man cupboard and letting it all spill out and then go through it all swearing. Well worth £15

Helen picked mine up for me today and i had a brief look at it when i got home.

It's a bit Micky Mouse but guessed it would be for that money, not quite sure what "auto repairs" you could do with it but its still a good selection of stuff for the money so it will do for bolting in the back of the van for the odd emergency.

even if you replace the sockets with good ones, as Mark said the holder in the top tray is pretty good. Doffo worth the £15 though IMO. Cheers Helen for finding it

Hey! You could do some sv valve clearance with the Allen keys, ratchet and no doubt super accurate feeler gauges

I'm going out first thing tomorrow to check my anti freeze and to see if my battery is 6 volts, 12 volts or 24 volts



I accidentally reserved two after noticing the 'we will spam the **** out of you and sell your details to Somalian pirate computer hackers' tick boxes too late and clicking back . Got a pretty annoyed sounding woman call me this morning asking if I really need two as other people want them

When I came for them they explained ' every man and his dogs come for those bloody things'
