Wilko's own brand - not a cheapie though.......
on: April 04, 2014, 03:10:34 PM
I saw this in Wilko's today - looks nice and is an interesting £20.00 Makes me think it might actually be quite good!

Anyone know any more about it?






It is a sliding plier, and has a cybertool type screwdriver bit with interchangeable heads plus plain and serrated blades and the usual openers.

It looks like the same tool as the Craftsman 12-in-1 multi tool.

EDIT: there are a number of user reviews with the link I provided.

wee bit late, picked up one of these yesterday for £15 as the backup of the backup of the backup. Quality is surprisingly good and the plier mechanism does work well. Not a cheapie, just affordable.

Looks kind of like a knockoff of the Gerber Balance.

If anyone is interested, the victorinoix cybertool bits fit the driver. They are a touch shorter than the original, but they do work pretty well.
