Best cheap tool kit? (for home)
Im after a basic toolkit/box for home, as I never seem to have the right stuff needed for simple duy tasks, I dont need anything flash or professional, but i do need something better than the usual crapopy chinese stuff that breaks when you exert some pressure....
Dont really have a budget in mind...but say £30?....(dont laugh!)

one thing you should never do is be a cheapskate on tools 
buy something decent, and you wont have to replace it again

The only time I use a spanner is to change the bit in my router.

Another 
for halfords stuff. Not all of it mind you, but I think some of the Halfords Professional stuff is bloody good.
Don't buy cheap tools though. imo, they just tend to either break, or break the parts you were trying to mend, so get the best you can afford. I'd just get 'em as you go along, or maybe a decent set in the sales or summat like that
