LIDL toolkit any cop?

[IDB1]

In a set of deals starting Thursday..

Looks very similar to the Draper one

I have spanners and allen keys (Wife is car meknic) but not bike specific tools (apart from a cassette thing and chainwhip)...

Wondering if this kit is ok?? Would prob be more cost effective than buying what I need individually (and satisfies my need to keep everything in one place)

Indeedy... she is C&G qualified and spent a few years as a Vauxhall Main Dealer Technician too..

Damn good meknic.. a little out of touch now, only dabbled for a fair few years (since the onslaught of the brats)..

Completely o/t... in a couple of weeks she'll be doing an engine swap on the car she recently bought.. swapping out a bust 1.4 8V for a 1.4 16V (Vx Astra)

That was nearly 20 years ago (the C&G stuff)..

Now.. about this toolkit.....

Looks awright..........for £25 it's worth a punt, and indeed it looks like the Draper set with different coloured plastic.

There was a thread on here the other day saying it was very good

[IDB1]

£25 now :!: :!:

Still. . . . .inflation (no pun intended) and all that...

Yeah, i feel its pretty good value for money

Not up to bike shop standard, but for your general home maintenance, it will give a few years good service if you aint a heavy handed oaf with it all .
Mine aint let me down, 2 yrs old now
