Yes would like to now what they are like.I have loads of pro tools but they are all in individual boxes stacked in the back of my van. It is a pain because the one I want is usually all the way at the back. When I just want a screwdriver or a pair of plier it is a pain.
I will put all the pro tools stacked in the back of the cupboard and have this at the front. I can then just yank this out for the vast majority of those little annoying jobs and only pull out the specialised ones when I need them.
For instanced I have 4 sets of allen keys. One normal set, one extra long set, one tiny set and one supersize set. That is just the allen keys. 3 different sockets sets.... 4 different bit sets. The list goes on and on.
This is perfect for the vast majority of the DIY jobs that crop up when you are fulltimer. Thought it might also suite those of you who do the long european trips..
I liked it because of the wheeled box it comes with. I have had to drag my tools some distance in the past and this will just make it easier:thumb:
I certainly wouldn't buy a set of these if I was using the tools day in day out. But for DIY maintenance of vans it looks good. I will report back if anyone is interested once it arrives.

That looks like a reasonable tool set for the price, but I find one tool will suffice for most jobs .........

we used to have a saying in the building,An engineer would work to the nearest 000 of a millimetre ,a carpenter would work to nearest millimetre, and a bricklayer would work to the nearest field.That's the difference between a technician and an engineer.
The technician knows where to hit it, the engineer knows how hard to hit it!
could be relatedOh Chris - are you and Pete related? LOL
We go on holiday. Oh look there's a market. I do not want more cheap Tshirts nasty jeans that don't fit nicely round my RRRRs or 53 pairs of knickers that will fall apart first time I wash them, for a fiver. I do not want nasty plastic sandals. I do not want ......
But Pete wants to look at the tools and fishing tackle and then at the marginally more interesting kitchenware stall he will give me a lecture on why stainless steel pans are better and you should always buy eg Sabatier knives. yes. I know this. We already have them. The pans weigh half a ton empty and a whole ton when full of boiling water and eg spaghetti .... and we do have a Sabatier in the van. I may use it soon ......

although you say its handy because it has wheels,i would at a guess say you are adding another 25kg weight to you payload,what i would do is go to b&q and buy a wheeled toolbox and fill it with your existing tools,that way you are only adding about 5kg to your payload,and the wheels on this toolbox don't look as they could stand being wheeled across anything but a nice flat surface.I have loads of pro tools but they are all in individual boxes stacked in the back of my van. It is a pain because the one I want is usually all the way at the back. When I just want a screwdriver or a pair of plier it is a pain.

I have ordered one and will get rid of my loose collection of tools.

They are being advertised elsewhere on ebay for as high as £300 so £74 seems a good bargain to me?

No interest in them but you could always swop the crap tools (if they are) for your good one's :thumb: expensive box though
Terry
Anybody else noted that there's only one available and nine sold?
It might be a ruse to offer higher priced alternatives
