They look fantastic.,

But very pricy for what they are!

We are currently loving our Wera tools, so these seem like,good value by comparison!

I found a multi-coloured set of those Nigel, posted many pages back. They were much cheaper than the green ones. I can confirm that they are, inded, great to use and the multi-coloured ones make it easier to know which one you're picking up

Right guys, you need one of these to keep your trousers up. Yes, It's the worlds most high tech, expensive belt buckle ;-



Roland Iten “The Driver” Belt Buckle Commemorates The Mille Miglia Race

Roland Iten “The Driver” Belt Buckle that was announced to commemorate this iconic racing event. paying homage to this iconic Italian road race, the “The Driver” comprises of four, limited edition high precision R8 MKII belt buckles with each buckle sporting an engraved name of one of the main cities on the Mille Miglia 2014 route, namely Brescia, Padova, Roma and Bologna. made from solid gold, steel and titanium using the same state-of-the-art Swiss watchmaking technique, the “Driver” features a five-axel construction, boasting over 110 components.It is not only the most expensive belt bucket money can buy, but also one that is undeniably, the most complex and advanced by any count. the buckle has two positions; one for tightening and the other for loosening the belt by precisely 35mm. it is designed in such a way so that you can adjust the fit using one hand and doing so discreetly, naturally. after all, a gentleman who can afford such a lavish accessory must be someone of certain stature and to publicly adjust belt is deem too ‘not gentlemen-like’. the Roland Iten “The Driver” commemorative belt bucket will be available in limited, numbered edition (though no specific number was provided) with each piece bearing an individual serial number and comes with a certificate hand-signed by Roland Iten. details of availability and pricing are not made known at the time of this writing, but judging from the previous collaboration with Bugatti, it is safe to say it will be on the high side of the five-figure sum.

That's nearly as big as the pair of TD03 turbos in my car. Might buy two!

Perhaps I need a whoosh parrot, but won't they be the same item? Surely Uzi have just got a job lot of them and are parting them out, like a lot of eBay sellers do?

Not necessarily. Ali may have reverse engineered / copied Uzi's design and it's a cheap knock off. Although, equally, it could be what you say.
