If you mean this, look at Halfords, Machine Mart, Screwfix. I recommend a roll cabinet, you know which drawer to open. If you want a cheap option, build your own shadowboard. I have both, I especially like being at the bench and needing a 13mm spanner and I know that it should be hanging on the nail marked "13" . If it turns out to be 14, no problem, it's the nail next door. No rummaging about in a toolbox only to find out it's missing.What I really need is a good quality set of everyday tools in a sturdy well thought out box. Not the ratty old tools my dad gave me 30 years ago.
Wow. How would you even pick it up? There is even a metalworking vice in there. OK, a small one, but a big piece of cast iron. The planning and construction of that must have taken a lifetime.
wow, that's fascinating. I hope it came with wheels!That’s quite a famous toolkit, made by a piano maker for his own use. It weighs 156lbs!

Bahco. It’s been used barely a dozen times since new. Seems unlikely to need a clean etc. surely? It’s spent most of its time in its box!What make/model of ratchet as you can get rebuild kits for more premium brands?, Can you take the ratchet head apart as a clean and re grease may help.
Take it back, it should be perfect. I have one, works perfectly. Bahco are a premium brand, designed to have the crap beaten out of then day in day out by Swedish car mechanics and fitters and still work perfectly, they should last for years if not decades.Bahco.

Update: liking the look of this - https://www.bahco.com/gb_en/1-4--an...-combination-spanner-set-l-keys-pb_s106_.html - which gets good reviews. Anyone got it? Any idea how it stacks up against a similarly priced set from Halfords, say? (I must admit, I’m shallow, I like the orange colour scheme ;-) )
