Title: Wilkinson £2 mt
Post by: Zed on August 12, 2013, 09:24:55 PM
Well popped into wilkos this am and after picking up a hotwheels u.s.s enterprise from the toy section  :D i checked the camping section, well too my surprise the mt that was normally around £9 was reduced to £2? I thought they was marked up wrong so got it checked and it was correct  :tu: so i thought ill go for it,well after a day in my backpack with the girls on a double decker bus trip to swanage  :D i finnaly got home and got it out of its blister pack,what can i say,lets just say i wouldnt pay its original price but for £2 its ok,its got washers but still clumps,blades dull,phillips is small and short,the saw/blade/and file could be much longer than they are, wood saw looks effective but as said short,awl looks awlfull  :D sclales are what looks like plastic with rubber inserts,but still has sharp edge so uncomfortable to squeeze, pliers look ok time will tell,as far as lock goes there is no snap just slight tension, these drivers will fold up  :-\ its now in my box,might throw it in the kitchen draw  :D

Quick update, the blade sharpened up nicely and after a drop of nano oil the tools come out with less clumping, on closer inspection the scales are metal,
