$2500 for an incomplete Death Star? Terrible value!

It may be incomplete, but it's fully armed and operational.

I have any number of screwdriver bits
I have screwdrivers that will take the said bits
I have a 1/4 drive socket set that will also take said bits
And i have an old off set screwdriver type thing that I have used about 3 times
but naturally I still need this because I am developing a Wera habit and well


awwwwww, its kinda cute isn't it?

I'd want a fully operational Death Star for that!

Got to agree, I love my Wera sets, my wera socket set helped me strip the Range Rover rear wiper today.

I have these sets in my Caterham, they are Velcroed to the boot, just in case I ever need them on a run, which as it turns out is quite often!

I have the set in the YT vid. Fantastically useful especially in confined spaces, thinking if getting the mini set to use when cycling and trying to avoud the temptation of a full set of joker spanners!

Wish they did a 3/8 socket set and other tools. Pricey but a league above my other tools (mainly beta).

On the wera theme their Xmas calender is very much worth getting as is whia's

I have that kit in the back of my Morgan. I've never used it and if something went wrong, I wouldn't know what to do anyway. However, having the kit is important.

That’s the very set I have got, can’t Fault it!

The tyres on my old Rangey had about 50% wear left on them, but wanted something with a bit more grip!

In a sports memorabilia shop, was a toss up between this and Al Bundy football top.

Blimus! they certainly look grippy! Just in time for summer too!

Yeah they do don’t they!

The sidewall grips are known as Snipes, to give you extra grip in deep ruts!

They are intended for pure off road use, which is what they are going to get here, being put to work!

The sipes are the grooves cut into each tread block, not the bits on the sides - but yes, they are awesome in bad conditions!

Thanks, bought a set for the Eunos which has been stored in the garage for nigh on a year. It might see the light of day this year if I finish the last few jobs, none of which need this toolkit. I will of course have another job now in finding a place for them to live in a snug home somewhere within the car.
