This one came from a top bloke in Mexico, I was sure it was a scam. When it arrived I was amazed. Building it was a treat, it's now on the wall in garage 😎

For a very similar price, I'm tempted by the Bosch version...

Recently bought this one, as I was fed up visiting my parents and not having access to a decent screwdriver to fix the little niggles that happen around homes that don't have someone looking after them. A little smaller than I thought, but perfect to carry around in the car/pocket, and good enough to resolve several issues already, including fixing the back door, sorting the brakes on a wheelchair and tightening a table... and that was just in the first weekend.
Not really frivolous - I find my set brilliant and use it all the time. In fact just helped fix a leaky tap with it.

It's amazing the number of places you just need a bit more torque than a screwdriver, or only have enough room for a bit, and not any kind of driver.

Borris the blade? Very reliable chap, if a bit heavy at times.

Was watching Traffic Cops last night (It was that or Titchmarsh) and one of the sections had a man found dead in a car in an Iceland car park. Seems he died of a drugs overdose but had all the kit needed in the car to cut into an ATM.

The policeman investigating had one of these which he was using to light up the interior of the car before they opened the doors.

The last thing I need is yet another small LED torch...

Ordered on Amazon last night and arrived this afternoon.
