I just bought their offer of 2 4 inch speed clamps for £1.99 i bought 2 sets (4). They also had 4 packs of 50mm clamps and the spring loaded crocodile type clamps in a multipac. Ideal for us that have just started our chassis.

The taps and dies don't look too bad for cleaning threads up --- I had just bought a full set or I might have been tempted.
I bought one of the dry power fire extinghisers for the boot of the Rover.

I bought some cheap needle files once, needed to file round a corner so I just bent one and carried on

LOL i got a set of files. They seem quite good although i have not used them yet. Il probably get the taps and dies for cleaning threads.;

I saw the spring clamps there. I bought some from Aldi a few months back for about 2 quid.

Trust me stay away from the genuine, imitation Lidl workmate as this is without a doubt the worst piece of construction related product that i have ever had the misfortune to come across! I have just wasted the last two hours of my life trying to work out how to put the sh!tbox together using the rediculously poor quality instructions only to find that unfortunately (for me) the good old lads back at the factory in Taiwan have drilled the tubes so badly that once they sit in the legs they are unable to get back out again...especially when you put them in the wrong way around and so need to get them back out again. (another result of the excellent diagrams on the comprehensive instructions)



Ahhhh...that's better. Rant complete.
