More inexpensive tools (UK only)

[Einion]

As a bit of a follow-on thread to this one on pin vices and with Christmas around the corner I thought this would be a good time to point out a few more good buys to be had currently to help build up the tool collection.

Rolson 4pc tweezer set, currently £1.10 with free UK delivery.
I don't think you'll find these any cheaper than this (I've seen them retail for more than double this). Well made stainless tweezers like this will last you a lifetime if you don't abuse them so they're a fab deal at this price.

Rolson 6pc 7" mini-wire-brush set for £2.40.

Rolson 36pc hobby knife set in box, £8.75 (RRP £16.99).
Only set of knives I've seen that are cheaper are the ones from Lidl or Aldi, but they have plastic chucks so they're not quite as robust.

Am-Tech A3 (300x450mm) self-healing cutting mat for £2.89.
Awesome price for one of this size, seen them for nearly ten times this much!

Am-Tech 25pc diamond "polishing set" for £4.98.

Toolzone 12Pc wax-carver set in wallet for £5.99.

Free UK delivery on all the rest of the items too.

Happy hunting!

While its great that Einion has put up these links I have to give a " heads up" on this particular set.
I bought one a year or two back and the blades are a bit "Femmer" as we say in Geordieland (ie weak metal) so that they do break very easily under light pressure (in one case dramatically) and don't keep their edges.
Some pieces are fine but you'll end up "cherry picking" the ones to keep or replacing them with X-acto blades.
