Bargin Tools?

PaddyFagan

Hi Folks,

Posting here rather than Bargin Alerts, because a) I'm not sure it is one and b) I'd expect some more knowledgeable replies.

ibood* (http://www.ibood.com/ie/en/product_specs/13059/Mannesmann_122_Piece_Tool_Kit_Trolley/) have this on offer today, Mannesmann 122 Piece Tool Kit Trolley - €85 (inc shipping)


* It's one day only offer web site, different stuff everyday some are bargins - some aren't!

What does the motors hive mind think?

Paddy

Brueder Mannesmann has nothing to do with the big German Mannesman steel company and its multitude of subsidiaries.

They are a "special offers" kind of outfit that buys cheap stuff from all over the world (mainly China), sticks their label on it, piles it high and sells it low.

The quality of their stuff can vary wildly from cheap and nasty to good enough for prolonged home use ...but never "professional"

On the other hand, 85 euro for a collection like that isn't bad ...even if some of the tools only lasted for a few applications.

Thanks - exactly the kind of info I was after - I think I'll hold off and try and get a few more quid together - I don't have a pressing need for any more tools (until I need to do something else to my bike!) - so I'll wait and try and pick up something a bit more high grade.....
