Lol it is abit mate, not like I'll be carrying it for miles tho, in the lift then to my car lol, I went through all my tools tonight and through my old stuff in a bag then into my cupboard lol, I've got a lot of work to do to the car before the drive down to AMD on Thursday, least I'll not be going mad ether looking for tools or going mad that I ain't got one lol

Yeah mate, it's a great set. The ratchets have got a nice weight and action to them.

I stripped and rebuilt the variable valve timing (VANOS) on my brothers E46 beemer. With the exception of a 33mm spanner and obviously the BMW timing tools, it had everything needed to do the job. Like you say it's nice to have everything in one place and not have to start searching around in the middle of a job.

Yeh they feel perfect in the hand, all the spanners are ratchet also, I'm off for a wee sleep then gonna head down to start work on my car, got a new fuel filter plus fuel line to install, new oil filter plus oil change, then have to change my wishbones drop links & track rod ends, will take me a few hours will be worth it in the end, oh and gonna take my spark plugs out and give them a clean and reset the pin with my gauge. Then tomorrow fit two new CV boots, I do love working on cars, rather me than pay garage fees.

I fitted a leather Cupra R handbrake to my Cupra , feels and looks good especially without the peeling button on the old one!
Then i investigated the intermittent passenger door lock and snapped one of the plastic window clamps on the regulator.......... new clips ordered and a piece of tree assisting the gaffer tape in holding the glass in place.

My day was similar... Although I opted for some nice red tape to hold my chosen wood in place.
