I don't think I'd agree: the tools would be no good to a professional mechanic, but absolutely fine to keep in the house, garage or shed for the average person. It would be much safer to use these tools than it would a kitchen knife and a pair of pliers as I have often seen people do.
I would not have paid £40, but £15 is very cheap for a useful bag of tools, I'd recommend that all households have something like this and keep it in the drawer with the plasters, torch, candles, spare fuses and first aid kit. Heat added.

Well if someone is going to use a kitchen knife in place of a tool, then they deserve all they get and Darwinism will help the human race a little.
Funny you talk about safety, especially if you use the socket set, spanners or screwdrivers, as you are likely to hurt yourself when they break, as they will, probably when you are exercising the maximum force on them.
The spanners won't fit, the adjustable spanner will only be good as a plumb bob or a knuckle skinner, with more play on it than a football field, I suspect the pliers will be rough and again will break when maximum force is applied.
I'm not just making this up, I've had these exact tools, in my grimy little hands, I've had them break on me. Do what you like, but these are the same tools that are sold in poundland etc and they will hurt you.

Is 'Phaze' a Halford's branding or is it a third-party manufacturer? If these tools are up to the standard of Halford's branded tools then this is a decent bargain.

If you look properly at the tools, you can see they are the generic crappy stuff sold everywhere.
I would find it difficult to advise anyone to buy this stuff, even at this price.

We'll have to agree to disagree. I have a garage full of fairly expensive tools that I use to maintain various cars, motorbikes, jetskis, pushbikes, air guns &c, but I still have several similar kits to this one for occasional use around my houses or kept in the boot of older cars. The quality is about the same on all the cheaper tools, but they are pretty useful and nowhere near as dangerous as you suggest. Generally they don't fail catastrophically but things like the ratchets stop working after a while.
I have seen plenty of people attempting jobs on their houses, cars or bikes with kitchen knives, Leatherman knives, sellotape and similar (I'm a surveyor, I do some electrical work as well), often they have ended up hurting themselves or further damaging whatever they are attempting to repair. I really couldn't recommend that the average house or car driver spends £600 on a good set of professional tools, but something like this would be sensible and perfectly safe if used sensibly.

No one is suggesting professional spec tools, there is a wide available quality of tools available. Go and buy some Halfords own brand tools if you want something cheap and cheerful that will do the job you expect them to and you know they will not break, nor break down when you want to use them.
It is, of course, much more competent than the £15 set, but would the average home owner be willing to pay 13 times as much? Ich glaube nicht.

No 13mm spanner? That's a bit odd - it's the most common size by far.
I'd tend to agree with othen. I too have thousands of pounds worth of good tools, but would use stuff like this at a push. One policy says you should buy a cheap set of tools, then replace whatever breaks with good stuff. If it breaks, you obviously use it, so it's worth having something better. But other stuff will never get used, so why spend good money on it?
So if you don't have any tools, but this and get a decent 13mm combination spanner to go with it.

I used to think that, when I was young, thing is, you tend to forget that these will just not take any abuse, if you apply a large force to the sockets, either they or the ratchet will break and the first time you have a socket split when you are applying a force to unlock a rusty net, you won't forget it.
So, ok, maybe flatpack furniture I'd agree with, everything else, no.
Oh, the screwdrivers will break, even with flatpack furniture.
