Okay, this is weird - if you copy and paste the link, it works, but it doesn't if you click it.

That's just totally mad.
In a good way.

Better chuck up a pic

I think I love the Wera 7515/7 torque screwdriver and am peeved that I've just bought a cheap AliExpress torque wrench for my very occasional torquing rather than splashing on this.

Tool Porn is maybe a stretch, was just gifted these two items by my dad.

The Teng Tools kit will probably come handy. The flexibility of the handle is neat and the ratcheting mechanism is subjectively nicer than my Wera stuff.

The Victorinox "Officer Suisse" is from my dad's uncle and was something "he had since forever and it was always with him".
It is in great condition and I´m super happy having it.

Nah mate, that is good stuff

It's a big day when your Dad passes on some tools.

I remember the day my Dad gave me his Swiss Army knife. I was about 6yrs old, because it was absolutely normal in the 80s for parents to give their kids knives as toys...

Not in my case. My Dad's tools were mostly rubbish.
My maternal grandfather, on the other hand, was a toolmaker for Metalbox. Left me all of his engineering tools before he passed away.
Were I to replace them today, I'd be looking at spending £30k / £35k.
If not more.

Not in my case. My Dad's tools were mostly rubbish.

Same, I kept a couple of them until he died.

Uncle Kier?

I think I was about 8 or 9 when I got a box set of the chronicles of Narnia and a Wenger SAK for my birthday. I still have both. I'm 44.

I have that Teng set. It's great. Super present from your Dad.

Found in a photography book, Wrenches c.1915

I think the Silca T-Ratchet + TI-Torque Kit is my favourite tool. I bought it to go in a bar bag in place of the Ritchey Torque Key (5Nm) which I have never been convinced actually works properly!

Link? I have a Topeak DX set that I've used for travel setup and races for a few years.

Not sure about the 0,3,5Nm measurements. The one I have has quite big gaps between each Nm mark so (ignoring its accuracy) it's maybe a bit easier to nail a specific value. It doesn't look as sexy as the Silca bits though. Does the Slica one clunk on each Nm value or are you just looking at the line, like the Topeak one?

This looks really neat as well (and I have had that chain breaker for years and it's a little beaut).

The Silca one works like the Topeak one. Mine is 1st generation - it goes to 6Nm and from recollection the spacings are larger.

Anyone got an alternative suggestion to this t-handle hex bit holder?

Anything better, value or better price-point than this at £25?

Cheers

I quite like using this Bahco ratcheting one. You can get decent purchase in the "pistol" position.
