Challenge 42 Piece Toolkit with Box £5.99 and 3 Others Further Reduced ~ Argos (Free C&C)
The Challenge 42 piece toolkit will ensure that you are well equipped for completing all of your DIY projects and is suitable for new starters and enthusiasts alike.
Adjustable wrench .
20 screwdriver bits and bit holder.
8 hex keys.
1 set of pliers.
Claw hammer.
Spirit level.
Measuring tape, .
10 cable ties.
Carry case.
I'm glad they describe the first item in the toolbox as an adjustable wrench and not an adjustable spanner as wrenching is what they do.
I was trained as a mechanic in the RN when I was 16 (back in the 70s) and I would only ever use one of those things in an absolute emergency; they wreck bolt heads and nuts. I have no idea of the quality of the ring spanners in the other set but at least they have six points of (probably tight) contact rather than a loose two which will round the corners.
Sorry, indoctrinated at an early age.

People that buys tools at argos should not be allowed to use or review tools.....

Don't listen to this poop. If you are looking for a tool kit to have as a stand by to put up the odd picture or tighten the odd screw then these are perfect. If you are a semi professional mechanic or tradesman then they are not suitable. Hence the price point.

Good post, well done.
These tools would be fine for jobs around the house, and are as cheap as chips.

Hot.
Purchased the drill bit set. If I need a really high quality bit for a specific job I tend to buy the relevant bit. But for general jobs around the house this will do nicely.
Thank-you OP.

Think Lucky escape.
The first set; price seems about right. not a great deal, but everything should be about usable.
The 75 piece set however with sockets and spanners is an area where cheap ones absolutely can and will cause you a lot of problems.
