Thanks, I did try to buy now but item is no longer available. I must have been just a couple of minutes too slow. frown

Wow, that looks a great buy, saw these in Lidl the other day (maybe a different make) for 70 quid I think!

I like this thread, there are many complaints abouts eBay. But it's still fantastic (to me), why pay £11 in the shop for a micro USB cable when someone on ebay will flog you one for 99p delivered!
Keep the bargains coming!

Great, but the sockets start at 32mm. Unless you're spannering trucks or heavy plant surely that's not too useful?

I've got one of those, used it all the time when I was a computer technician working on printers. It was extremely useful!

Are you now scouring Ebay for a JCB to go with it? biggrin

Seriously though, you could find a use for the sockets maybe on driveshaft to hub nuts and the other odd bits.
The sliding T bar will be very strong so you can 'gear it down' with a reducer to fit 1/2" sockets and it would take a piece of scaffold pole for undoing really tight or rusted stuff.
