Dont know why I have neglected this as long as I have but now Im looking at getting a proper Home/DIY tool kit instead of the one I have (mix match cheapo stuff), now there is nothing against the one I have, but I feel like spending a little bit of cash on some nice tools and a smallish toolbox or carry case.

I like shiny st so wera, facom, teng, fatmax, etc have all been researched and all see much of a muchness when it comes to quality.

What do you have and what can you recommend?

Tools for what? House bashing, or fixing your car?

I would recommend the Apollo 161-piece household tool kit. I bought one from Home Depot and it's amazing!! It has every type of tool you could possibly need.
And would you be so kind as to point me to my nearest Home Depot? I don't think there's one in Hereford...
Dont be nasty to the nice man...

$65 on Amazon US (should be able to get them to deliver)
