What an absolute waste of packaging...

They are these ones.

They seem to be really well made and certainly work well.

Luxury to have all the bits already in a socket you flash git.
Nothing beats trying to find the socket for the bits for hours

I actually could do with that....I have no experience regarding tools, is this good bang for buck? It's only £27 on Amazon.

I got this from Amazon. I normally go for Bahco tools as they are really nice for the price but I needed something quicker. Reviews looked good and they feel nice
Oh I know the feeling. However, my OCD has taught me to make sure I return things to the right place so I don't have to search later. You can tell I never became a mechanic...
I have a few Draper tools - Think they're considered on the lower priced/quality sort of sector, but I've not had any bad experiences.
As The Candyman said, I also typically try and get Bahco toolsets - They're great quality (particularly like the adjustable grips).

You mean this one?

What really bugs me is that if you get that and you want more tools...the larger sets overlaps.

Ideally I want to start with the smaller one and possibly expand as I need to without overlapping.

If you had money to burn on tools, you could go for Wera.
That’s the one. It’s really compact so it lives in the house most of the time.
Draper socket sets won't stand up to much. I mean if you're driving screw and allen heads with a ratchet then it's probably fine, you'll just be chewing up bolts instead 
It depends on the jobs you're doing. As mentioned Bahco are really good quality for small and compact sets, I carry one around with me at work.
Personally I'd buy a Halfords 200pc socket set and never buy another one again.

Halfords professional range tools are excellent. They're regularly on offer too.
Edit. I've got the Halfords 200 set. More than I'll likely ever need.

Having problem playing PS4 with a controller I found these and thought I buy it so I can get around to play The Last of Us among others. It's an controller so you can use mouse and keyboard. So instead of using a normal sized keyboard I bought a very small one, which covers all the functions that the Tin200 'converts' from controller to keyboard. And since I needed new keyboard and mouse to use the converter anyway, they were also of the same brand to make sure maximum compatibility. And a mega mouse mat thrown in there as well for good measure.
Only problem is... I started playing Mass Effect before I got the goods and now 'addictive' to that game so be a while before using these.

yeh these can get ridiculously cheap now and again ,i have a small set ,i am trained as a ford technician ,we used to have a snap on van come round ,that costs a fortune but is awesome (or was back in the day)
still pricey https://shop.snapon.com/product/Metric-Sets-A/Complete-Metric-Set-A/9100GMBO

The snap on stuff is lovely, but is it worth the money over halfords professional that has lifetime warranty? I have the 200pc set and I've pulled RS4 engine. 'box etc. mostly with that set (a few impacts for the air gun added). Whilst I'd love to have the Snap-on stuff, I just can't see the value in it. I suppose it does keep money well...
That looks great, i never knew you could get an adapter like that for the console.Having problem playing PS4 with a controller I found these and thought I buy it so I can get around to play The Last of Us among others.

Might have to get myself one of those as I’m terrible with joypads when aiming.
