Torx bits round off the bar nut tensioner has split but still brought another as it’s only a tenner ... definitely room for emprovment but can’t see what property’s being magnetic warrants being 30 quid !

 The usp isn't that its magnetic, its that its purple anodized!

A leatherman quality chainsaw tool would be worth a good price to me.

Got a Swiss army knife from the late 80's and a Leatherman from the mid 90's and both well worth their weight over the years! Get one of each!

This looks good alternative to the top saw ... although the price is a bit steep for me and is lacking quite a bit with other functions in comparison. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F332631906905

Nice colours. Everything is bonny bright nowadays.

Probably made of chocolate and does not really contain the correct tooling but I do like the idea.

Just ordered one of these, so will report back.  Looks like the plug spanner may actually have enough reach.

They are useful get out of jail tools to me, not a substitute for a proper tool kit.

My topsaw and a cheapo Leatherman copy have come in handy a few times mind.

 

I had an original Leatherman which was really nice, if a bit bulky, but I lost a mate's dads cheapo copy on a job and gave him mine as a temporary replacement, which seems to have turned permanent....

Mine was useless to get out of jail, they took it off me before I got banged up!

 

Both times

Picked this one up for £5 at Lidl the other day. Because I dropped this
On a job last week and spent 25 mins looking for it, and don’t want to lose it.

The Lidl one is cheap nasty rubbish in comparison but seems to work ok

I have a Gerber which is now owned by fiskars. Lifetime warranty which they honour! On my 3rd replacement now.

Can’t work out if that’s good or bad! Good they honour the warranty but bad they need to! What broke?
