Had a set of the folding allen keys and some adjustable spanners from them, never been any problems.

I looked at the spanners they had a couple of weeks ago. And they looked really poor quality, nothing better for rounding bolts than cheep tools. This set may be better.

Chris, worth having a good look, some of the tools carry the German TUV stamp and are pretty good, of course others are cheap crap but worth dropping by to find out which.

I don't think I have one that nearby to me so I can't really, but hey, never mind.

Crivit underwear is OK and seems to do the job, quality not as good as forcefield but then that is reflected in the price diference. Would I buy again probably yes when other sets wear out.

I have Aldi, Lidl, Halfords Professional, and others manufacturers tools. Many, if not most, of Aldi and Lidl tools are, as stated earlier, TUV stamped. I have never had any issues with them and the fact that most carry a 2-3 year guarantee is worth having. If you hunt around you can often find out who makes many of them. This is sometimes surprising as the product is exactly the same as a "branded" product at less cost and with an extended guarantee.
