*cheap* tool kit recommendations
Saffy:
I have an established tool kit built up over the years of mostly good quality. Having had tools nicked in the passed I am loath to carry a kit in the truck as I hate to have them go again.
So I am wanting to put a cheapy tool kit together solely for keeping in the back of the Defender that wouldn't give me cold sweats at night about losing. At this point I am thinking about an off the shelf all in one tool set rather than build up from separates. Guessing...combination spanners, sockets, pliers, HAMMER, screwdrivers.. Any recommendations that are not too paap that will have some use for landrover?
dxmedia:
Costco do a semi alright looking comprehensive kit in a plastic boxy thing for about 70 odd quid iirc.
karlo:
Yep same as this one, which I have.
Saffy:
aye that's sort of thing, no costco access for me though, wonder what makro got.
carbore:
Above is a good idea (I have similar that I used to disassemble stuff I buy at auction/car boot to get in the freelander). but......
Another approach is to go to the car boot. I have lots of king dick, Elora and snail brand stuff if got for literally pence from people selling "Grandads old rusty tools" old ladies or house clearers, with rummage boxes. I tend to avoid the tool sellers with too many power tools (that may have been cleared without the owners permission!)
Car boot is especially good if you have just got a series or other old thing that uses Imperial or Witworth.
