Here's another one (slightly bigger and at $85.00 possibly more expensive as well).

I was wondering how well those pruners worked.  Good to hear they work well.

Just to prove I did go to Tony's car boot show I picked up this compact sledge hammer.  I've got a feeling it's got a specific purpose with it's very small striking faces, but I don't know what it might be.  I'm open to suggestions though.

What's your point?   One should never be more than a foot from a bottle opener.  :D

Love that saw. I hope to find similar one day.

I saw one of those perfect handle ones here couple years ago. Seller asked ridiculous amounts of money of his stuff, so i layed off some nice stuff from his desk.

The fret saw is a cheaply made one, the guy selling it said it is under powered but I thought I would give it a try  :shrug:

I’m pleased with both the screwdriver and axe head, more projects   :D

Used Scroll (fret) saws can be bought inexpensively here.  Most pawn shops have them.

The drill, driver bit set is nice.  I've never seen that sack set.  Manufacturer?

Another sheep shear and more files.  Do you ever run into those nice handmade French files?

The driver set is made for Axminster, looked useful  ;)
http://www.axminster.co.uk/ but can't find them on their site, maybe discontinued  :think:
Never seen any of those French files in real life  :(

I went to a car boot sale this morning for the first time in years. Found one knock-off SAK that I didn't bother asking the price of lol.
I used to come here a lot.
